That's simply untrue; you're deliberately misinterpreting terms to grind a tired axe.

It is perfectly possible to be both masculine and non-toxic without being feminine. Refusing to allow that is toxic in itself.

Using the term "toxic" to describe things is an issue because people have an immediate negative reaction to it and go on the defence. Wording matters a lot and I'm unsure why there's such an insistence on calling things "toxic" when other words would both better describe issues and cause a less visceral reaction.
