There is 2 things going on.
1. Crossnerd is comfortable making subjective judgements, whereas this makes most mods uncomfortable; so they try to be objective, which invariably means allowing more borderline behavior.
2. You guys are (so far) responding better, mainly for evolutionary psychology reasons. Males (especially domesticated ones, like most of us) are less confrontational with females than other males.
--On a related note, this general behavior actually reinforces the reality that many/most trans females do in fact view themselves as females (and aren't bad faith actors), as they generally tend to be more aggressive, including physical violence, with cis-females than cis-males would be.
