As a man, I have never been "proud" to be a man, I mostly feel ambivalent about it, it is who I am, I'd rather be proud about my actions than my gender.

I will make no secret about how I don't really understand transgender people, it used to annoy me, but since about a year or two ago I realized that it doesn't matter to me, and it apparently matters a lot to them.

So I stopped caring enough to be annoyed, I realized that if they are happy and it doesn't hurt others, then I have no reason to make their day worse.

To all trans people, I may not understand what you feel, but I will not be a dick about it, my confusion is my own issue and I will do my best to not make it yours.

Huh, I've been banging on about this for awhile in isolation after talking to a lot of cis people about gender and it's really weird to see it in an article by someone else.

Weird and validating.

You're not alone. The antirealist community says lots of things like this.
