"The lady doth protest too much"

"The ~~lady~~ male doth protest too much"

Edit:
if people don't like this comment in context to the post I'm willing to take it down

It might be easier for people to understand the context if you quoted more of the original image, like

The "proud fuckin' male" doth protest too much

The male version of lady would be gentleman though...

Does that look like a "gentleman" to you? By familiarity of this particular sort who broadcasts his open distain for trans people on his shirt I warrant he is not a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man.

I think "male" is probably polite enough and better than he deserves.

I don't really care TBH, it's (probably) a joke so it doesn't have to be accurate to the real life circumstances and then it works better when people actually substitute the correct words IMO.
