yeah kind of, but it’s one of those trickier areas of privilege (idk anything about singapore though, sorry for not being any help there)

like if you don’t pass you have almost no straight privilege really because when you’re out with your partner people will perceive it as a gay relationship

but if you do pass you do get straight privilege as awarded to you in a lot of social situations, but if you are still legally recognized as female you obviously wouldn’t get the privileges heterosexual people have legally, ie, you can’t get married if you like somewhere where same sex marriage is

all straight transmen do get a level of privilege from being the default though. like, I’m a gay asexual transman for example, and it can be rather alienating that there doesn’t seem to me many of me out there, but it’s not hard to find loads of the “lesbian turned straight male” narrative out there.

Theres really a lot of levels to this and I could go on forever but really when it comes to privilege grey areas like this the best thing for you to do is be self aware of where you are privileged and don’t overstep your boundaries with it. I don’t think it’s a good idea to make blanket statements over all straight transmen as having straight privilege because that’s just not true.
