My impression is that TIMs almost always seek out female gynecologists, and that their demands that these women provide them with medical care for their genital wounds & general wellbeing is an especially twisted form of extremely aggressive sexual harassment.

You're spot on. It's so gross. If a male patient creeps on me, I can tell! Used to be grounds to dismiss a patient or insist he only see male colleagues, but now we're meant to feel sorry for them in case they're TIMs, so disgusting.

Do you just have to put up with these creeps now, or can you fire them as a patient?

If they identify as "she we have to put up with them and feel sorry for them. 🙄🤢. What's interesting is, the occasional actual woman who creeps on you can still be dismissed from the practice.
