Ask him if he would be fine with his daughter/mother/wife getting changed and a bloke walking in and getting naked next to her, he will be enraged. Not all men of course. But every man I have spoke to about this saw no issue until I tailored it to people in his family. Then suddenly he 'got it' and why its not right.
Not saying all men would not get why its problematic. Just the men I have spoke to about this don't seem to, until I go a little deeper into what its about.

I'm absolutely fine with any person who identifies as a female changing next to a female relative. I'm absolutely fine with any person who identifies as a male changing next to a male relative.
I'm less fine with a trans person who identifies as male changing next to a female relative and vice versa.
I know there are some hazy lines that some are uncomfortable with, but I think thats the general jist of the way the worlds going.
