These are mostly valid points, but they're so far down the list in importance that for most men, they approach irrelevance. (The list would more accurately be titled "Downsides to transitioning from female to male", so maybe its contents are more relevant for that subset of males.)
The chief problem with masculinity is the things men are told make them "real" men. The message is that you're not a real man unless you have boatloads of money, are strong, have sex with lots of women, intimidate/dominate others, never show emotion or "softness", etc.
This messaging is ubiquitous — far more so than the things in this list — and extremely dangerous.
