I'm very new to disc golf (only played twice so far), so I've been playing from the red tees.

Last time I was out, there was a guy practicing drives from the white tees. As I (a young adult male) walked up, he said he'd get his stuff out of my way. I told him not to worry about it since I was playing the red tees and he sort of gave me a funny look and said something along the lines of "Oh, you're playing the reds?"

It wasn't anything too bad, but I felt a little embarrassed and am now wondering if I should just play from the white tees. I realize in normal golf, the reds are usually for youth, women, and the elderly and there can be a stigma with a man playing the reds. Is the same true for disc golf?
