Like I already stated, the reason I find that particular cliche to have potential to be offensive is because it relies on old negative stereotypes. It leans heavily on an idea about minority groups that often gets used to explain away or hurt them, and is almost NEVER grounded in reality. It reinforces a stereotype, and fuels arguments in real life that lesbians are only that way because they're afraid of men or transmen are only that way because they think being a woman is bad/are afraid of dudes.

To compare, it is a negative stereotype in the same way that "Asians speak in broken English" is a common cliche. So when it puts up in fiction, obviously people are going to eye it suspiciously.

And honestly, we don't know what Ishida is thinking. No one save for Ishida knows what is actually going on. We can all guess until we are blue in the face and argue, but right now there's a lot of conflicting information and ambiguity.
