This is the "only one word for love" semantics problem again. You are conflating the qualities of a man, manliness, with the physical status of being male. One is a set of traits that can be trained and learned and practiced, and the other is an inescapable, unalterable state of being.
It is exactly that kind of water muddying that got us into this mess in the first place. So KNOCK IT OFF!
