I think your example is accurate. I think there's another example around trans-vocabulary: The analog of the 1st half is "I'm not going to stop you from cutting off your man bits, but don't expect me to call you a 'woman'. 'Trans woman' is ok because that's a new word, but 'woman' already has a meaning and don't try to change it." The analog of the 2nd half is "You shouldn't do that because you're a man and you need to act like one." Or perhaps it's an affront to nature or the divine.
