Some remarks issuing from GC/Anti-Trans folk sound extremely predatory; the very thing they accuse us of.
As regards 'the cotton ceiling', I'm not entirely sure what that is, to be honest. I think it is vaguely to do with who people want to have intimate relationships and who people want in return. This is the same as any other scenario regarding dating and stuff.
I get the impression that the unsubstantiated allegations were allowed to slide because they wanted to make some sort of compromise and also, it sets precedent for what may be said in future.
I find it somewhat ironic that some GCs invoke the phrase 'male-bodied' personally, but a lot of this could be grounded in personal insecurities on their part.
