    Obviously, and I didn't want to insinuate anything else, but if you identify as a male and especially if you are aware of the oppression that's attached to it, I'd imagine you would be affected negatively by this kind of discourse if you weren't acclimated to it. I grew up in the gender identity I was assigned at birth, and I'd be lying if I said the negative stereotypes about men didn't affect me especially when I was younger (at some point even pushing me towards anti-sjw/MRA bullshit, thank Allah I grew out of it), and to add that to the pile of negative stereotypes pointed at you when you already are in a minority group seems like a lot to handle.

    If the message is all men are scum, it doesn't really matter if you are cis or trans, since you are still a man.
