I guess that's because TIMs are usually the ones making the most damage. They have that male entitlement that TIFs don't have because, well, socialized as a female.

Yes--damage for sure. And they’re really two distinct groups. TiFs are girls/women who are most often lesbians or who have lesbian tendencies who are only being enticed into trans in the same way lesbians are enticed into LGBTQ--it’s the ready and now established path to “switch genders” or approximate “male.” I think those here who need to show sympathy for transgender persons should start and end with TiFs.

I have sympathy for the young gay boys like Jazz Jennings who get pushed into transition by their parents.

I've no problem with this, but when it's a long thread with everyone getting into the act (on a gc forum) it has a different impact than what one person is saying in a more private or personal comment.
