Raised as a man with a man's sensibilities and ways of thinking, sure, but "the patriarchy" doesn't exist, not in the west at least, and certainly not the way feminists describe it. If the patriarchy feminism describes existed in America, "The Handmaid's Tale" would be a documentary, not dystopian fiction, and most women would be too afraid to even complain about it.
Paradoxically, the patriarchy they describe /does/ exist, in Islam, which feminism embraces with open arms.
In any case, most of the visible "trans" people these days fall into two groups. One group is in fact trans-TRENDERS, those who do it simply to be socially acceptable to their peers, to gain approval and "victim points". They're the ones actually ruining things for genuine trans people, claiming things that go completely opposite the things trans people have been trying to get society to accept.
The other group is those who realize that the patriarchy doesn't exist, that there is in fact more of a /matriarchy/, that we live in a /gynocentric/ society. They either want a taste of that /female/ privilege, like those /boys-slash-men/ who claim to be trans so they can compete in women's sports, defeat actual women, and still gain acceptance, or they've been so filled with internalized misandry by social narratives that they live in utter despair thanks to being born male, and they think becoming a woman will relieve them of that instilled self-loathing.
