Nobody is arguing to make things harder or worse for those with privilege. Generally people are asking for equal consideration and opportunity and a recognition of past and existing injustice.

Show me where people are advocating anti-white and anti-cis policies.

If you’re straight, consider a commitment ceremony but don’t get married until all people can share in that legal right should they so choose.

If you’re a white person with wealth and children, choose to invest in and send your children to a local, public, neighborhood school or at least a private school with a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion rather than a lily-white private place with connections to the Ivy League.

How does asking people to consider choices "make things harder or worse for those with privilege"?

The article is asking people to make their lives worse. The suggestions are predicated on the assumption that the alternatives listed are less desirable.
