Morphology
The noun 'pass' (an exemption or permit) combined with the vulgar slang 'pussy' (referring to women/female genitalia) gives a rough hint that the phrase means a special allowance related to a woman, so a learner who knows the words could partly infer the idea of leniency granted due to gender/sexuality. However, the expression is slang, offensive and carries socio-pragmatic nuance (unfair gendered favoritism) that is not fully predictable from the parts without cultural knowledge, so it is not fully transparent.
Etymology
Pussy pass is slang that joins pussy (a rude word for women) and pass (meaning permission to go free). One popular use online was to say a woman was 'let off easy' or given 'special treatment', so today it is used to mean 'an unfair advantage given to a woman'.
