Some women are very guilty of making their male characters bisexual or gay and then pulling it off in as cringe-worthy a fashion as the men portraying wish-fulfillment lesbians. Or they'll consider a male character to only be masculine if they're super muscular, violent and stupid.Hah, yes. Sexism does work both ways, after all.
It's one of those reasons why I could never really understand the pushback against feminism. Fixing this stuff helps everybody, after all. As soon as femininity (or being "effeminate") is no longer considered negative, everyone is free to be whatever they want to be.

For example, I'm transgender. I don't give half a fuck about how people RP trans characters, it's fictional characters in a fantasy world.
It's just make believe yo.
All you're trying to do is shut down any form of criticism, and that's not cool. No one in this thread, at least to my knowledge, has even been toxic in any way. We're allowed to point out instances of bad RP/writing we've seen and talk about the things that make them bad without you trying to shut down ALL DISCUSSION on the subject because you don't care for it.
