The fact something is considered a right doesn't exclude the possibility of considering people who have access to it, or excessive/easy/high quality access to it, privileged.
For instance, here in Brazil, all people have a right to a home according to our constitution. Do all people have homes IRL though? A: no.
Even if you consider a country that actually provides what they consider a right for all people, someone could still be considered privileged for having more of it, better quality access to it, etc. For instance, someone who lives in a shelter for homeless people (the government actually providing a "home" to people who can't afford one) can still call someone who lives in a mansion, or owns tons apartments and lives off renting money, privileged.
Also, people who live in a country that provides such things considered rights can be considered privileged when compared with people who live in other countries that don't consider them rights and/or don't provide them.
I myself don't consider sex a right, the very notion of rights in general is very tricky IMO because it basically says someone is forced to work/do something to provide you with such "right", but even so, that meme is just stupid, a complete non sequitur. They just trying to trick you with semantics.
EDIT: another thing I thought of: some incels are ARGUING for sex being considered a right; it isn't right now. So in the current circumstances, it isn't a right, and some (privileged) people get a lot more of it than others (which would still be the case anyway, but now, some people get nothing).
