I can see the point but it's a wrong simplification in my opinion.
A family member of mine is transgender and has told me that there is a
great amount of transphobia in queer and feminist circles. Not being
in the dominant group does not necessarily mean you can never do any
oppression to some other group.
Also determining to which group someone belongs to is not that easy.
For example I have white privilege but I have also been asked from
which african country I really come from (Italy is not a valid reply
in these cases).
So while in theory you have a point, it's a bit moot when it's
impossible to group people this way reliably.
