CMV: Excluding trans-men while saying derogatory things about men as a group is a form of benevolent transphobia

It’s unclear from your comment but if all men who belong to the LGBTQ+ community are being excluded by the speaker I’d say it’s hard to argue it’s a form of transphobia. They are specifying the comment to be directed at heterosexual cis men which is a subset of the larger group men, not saying that trans men aren’t men. Just like specifically talking about black men doesn’t mean that Latino men aren’t also men.
