To believe someone else *cannot* understand your experience is dangerous. Not only does it put you at fundamental odds with them, but it also prevents you from ever allowing yourself to feel vulnerable with them.

the same gender, to discount someone *because* of their gender is just a blatant stereotyping the other as incapable of cross-group empathy, and it really makes me feel uncomfortable.

Agreed strongly up till this point. I have no problem with men speaking for women sometimes but in general it would be appropriate to defer to women. "Men aren't as good at understanding the experience of women" is distinguishable from "men aren't as good as women at math".
