TIM are men. The people opposing their identification as women, entry into women-only spaces and discussions, etc. are women. The people supporting their integration and groveling are their feet are also, generally speaking, women, but more gender-ideologically aligned, obviously. When I speak of “women” in the rest of this post, I mean the latter.

As men, TIM are socially conditioned to be aggressive and demand what they want. Scientific studies have also shown multiple times that over half of TIMs have Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is evidenced by a firm sense of self-importance and entitlement from others, as well as a well-honed ability to manipulate other people - emotionally, through threats, creating or taking advantage of an imbalance of power, etc. - to get their desires fulfilled.

Women, on the other hand, are socially conditioned to be submissive and pleasing towards others, to be “peacemakers” whose ultimate purpose is to make other people happy, especially people who claim to be unhappy. The more aggressive (i.e., man-like) they are, the more a woman feels compelled to appease them.

When a TIM demands something, such as access to a woman’s space, he does so aggressively and persistently, and also manipulates women by playing on their emotions in order to represent himself as “wronged” by not getting what he wants - a typical NPD tactic. The women who are taken in by this are motivated not only to help someone who is doing his best to appear as the oppressed party, but also because they feel that it’s their job to soothe his ruffled feathers, make him feel better, and stand up for him.

For all intents and purposes, he is still behaving like a stereotypical, culturally-trained man, and she is still behaving like a stereotypical, culturally-trained woman.
