This is something I hadn't really thought about until a trans woman I know mentioned how the "men forced to dress as women to make them uncomfortable" thing was really unpleasant for her.
I totally agree that men freaking out about wearing women's clothes is largely sexist, and there's some anti-sexist effect in poking at it. But there can also be a simultaneous transphobic effect, even if there's no intended reference to crossdressing or transgenderism (transness?)
