Do you think a male or cisgendered person can be “shoehorned in”, or is this something that you believe can only happen with women or trans people?

Yes, any time they throw a dude in and make him super stupid or overtly "manly" or a horn dog it is the same feeling. Any time a character is a super exaggeration of a human trait it ruins a movie/show. The characters trait does not progress the story so it feels forced

It seems like your issue has more to do with stereotypes, as opposed to “shoehorning someone in” that happens to be a particular demographic.
