      It might be easier for people to understand the context if you quoted more of the original image, like

      The “proud fuckin’ male” doth protest too much

        Does that look like a “gentleman” to you? By familiarity of this particular sort who broadcasts his open distain for trans people on his shirt I warrant he is not a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man.

        I think “male” is probably polite enough and better than he deserves.

          I don’t really care TBH, it’s (probably) a joke so it doesn’t have to be accurate to the real life circumstances and then it works better when people actually substitute the correct words IMO.
