You're a cis male if your gender identity matches your gender assigned at birth. If someone mentions it in connection with your ignorance, they are offering it as an explanation for why you are ignorant. It's only an insult if you think your gender identity means you don't need to think about the experiences of others.

I don't. And they don't have to think about mine.
When did empathy become the most important of human virtues?
Our only duty to each other is tolerance. The idea we all have to learn about others' experiences and empathize with them all is silliness. The only thing we must do is leave each other to live as we feel like living. In other words, leave your trans neighbor to live as the person likes, and don't try to inflict your views on this person. And vice versa. If you want to empathize, great. But it's not an obligation.

A culture is comprised of people. Rape Denial is a phenomenon.
