Water is good.
Sodium cyanide is toxic.
If you put NaCN into water, that water becomes toxic.
That water is now toxic.
Water that does not contain NaCN is not toxic (ignoring other potential toxins for simplicity's sake), despite the existence of toxic water.

Alright, now let's switch some nouns around:

Masculinity is good.
Homophobia is toxic.
When you use homophobia to define masculinity, that masculinity becomes toxic.
That masculinity is now toxic.
Masculinity that is not defined on the basis of homophobia is not toxic (ignoring other potential toxic behaviours for simplicity's sake), despite the existence of toxic masculinity.

My water is good.
You put Sodium Cyanide in your water.
My water is still good as you poisoning your water doesn't poison the concept of water.

If you drink your spiked water, you were poisoned with Sodium Cyanide, the medium of water is irrelevant.

Just as you don't need to call water bad, you don't need to call masculinity toxic. It's even worse since it's actually completely separate to masculinity and just using its name fraudulently. Homophobia is not masculine.
