Really? I disagree. Those who do not have beauty, end up compensating for it by exceeding in some other trait, and in the end, these other traits, or the ability to exceed in these other traits is the privilege, those not endowed with beauty get. So, it balances, and sometimes to the benefit of those not endowed with beauty.

Do you feel that way about every differential advantage, such as money and family support in childhood, or is there something unique about beauty that causes people to compensate better?

Unless you're not intelligent either. Or don't have the socioeconomic advantages of a good education. Or are a poor athlete. And, of course, there are people who are all of these things. Being beautiful does not mean you cannot excel in other traits.

Everyone does not start equal. People's genetics and the circumstances of their birth are causes of inequality. It does not end up balanced.

Source? I’m skeptical of your claims but interested in any content that backs it up.

So what do you think the definition of 'privilege' is?
