TIMs using TIFs as a lever to enter women's spaces?

I think there is something qualitatively different about the rights demanded by TIMs and TIFs, but TIMs try to conflate the two.

When TIFs insist that "men can get pregnant" and ask us to say "chestfeeding," it is obnoxious and denies basic reality. But it does not remove women's safety the way that demanding access to women's spaces does.

What is happening is:

TIFs convince society that pretending men can get pregnant is the kind thing to do -- we all know that men can't actually get pregnant, but this makes TIFs feel better and we all want to be nice. So we agree to be "inclusive."

TIMs capitalize on this and demand access to the same spaces because we're being inclusive, aren't we? It would be MEAN to exclude them and we already agreed to be nice!

TiMs are parading TiFs around in order to minimize the fetish aspect of their demands. Making TiFs have the demands that TiMs actually want. All of our school-aged concessions to the TRAs have had a biological female face. We have not even had a teenage boy ask to be put in the girls' locker rooms on the news. If one was only watching/reading local coverage, one might not even know about TiMs, but I know they are out there. It's very scary the capture of media on this issue, but it's very obvious why they are doing it that way too.

Adult AGPs and their allies seek camouflage by shifting the spotlight onto childhood transitioners and teenage girls with ROGD. The focus on female minors bolsters the lie that transness is innate and unrelated to sexual fetish. Any normie who interacts with a few trans-identified teenage females will quickly figure out that (a) they arrived at their trans identities via social contagion and (b) many are sexually motivated. Even so, it’s still easier to make 5'2", 16-year-old Elijah look palatable to the public eye than it is to pass off 6'2", 46-year-old Valentine as a fragile little daisy.
