The boringly sad way of putting it is, if you are white, cis-gendered, male, and straight, (in short, the “majority”), and you happen to not have a talent that makes you unique, you literally can’t finish the sentence “I am PROUD to be ____” without coming across as a bit of a demon in some people’s eyes.

I mean, no one will give you guff for "Irish-American pride" or "English-American pride" or "Italian-American pride", and American pride is basically mandatory in our society. Male pride is still very much lionized (pun intended) in our society, and celebrated. I believe the in-vogue phrase for gynephilia positivity is "All women are queens" followed by clapping emojis. Nothing for being cis-gendered, I suppose.
