I'm sooooo late coming to this (from kaberett's end-of-year round up)
I think the problem highlighted (and please do correct me if wrong) is less "people with vaginas who dress as men are trans men and please write them as such" and more "cis-women who live their lives in a male role might expect to experience some gender dysphoria from presenting as male when they are actually female".
I'm not sure I think that is always the case; partly because I don't think everyone has an equally strong internal feeling of what gender they are, partly because I think taking on a male persona is easier if *chosen* than if forced onto you. But I've not tried presenting as male for more than a few hours at a time.

But that doesn't even start on the race fail.
