Transphobic in the sense it implies that trans women or non-gender conforming people are the result something "wrong" with their upbringing. In this case the lack of a Father figure / broken home. Also potentially implies that a male authority figure presence didn't "set them to rights" by supplying adequate threat.
While it could be construed that way "boys stay boys" it could also depict a femboy, or more likely play on the m/f specifity of the meme. It's just forced, grammatically.
Of course. I was just advocating for a kind of equal treatment myself. Growing up without proper parenting/guidance sucks, regardless of the number, gender, or relationship to self of said parent(s). Even "complete" families can (and often do) suck at the job. I'll never understand the idea conservatives have that just because they're the child's parent, they automatically know what's best for their kids - they usually provably don't.

Downvotes are from those who grew up without a mother.

Yeah - apparently the boy is ashamed of his chest (look closely at how much of it is shown between the two versions).

Shit... does this mean I should down vote?

Honor your missing parent with love, not negativity.
I was just half-joking, half making a half-assed point, anyway. Do as you like.
