To the first part, I see it as an attempt to not alianate the listeners off the bat.
Most women have experiences of men, who behave like human beings.
If you insist that all men are pigs, they are going to dismiss whatever else you are going to say.
The same applies to trans. If the listener has had an experience with a trans person behaving like a human being, and you insist they are all bullies, whatever you say next will be dismissed.

As to most of them being two-faced - I sometimes wonder that too.
It's not like they are going to be going around announcing their autogynephilia to the world.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!
