Good observation! "I might have a period, but I'm all man!" Maybe I don't pay enough attention or maybe TiF aren't getting as much press? Or maybe they're easier to ignore? It's women who have periods while claiming to be men who fit this category, not men who think they are women who don't have periods. What a trainwreck anyway.

Maybe I'm wrong, but TiF strike me as self-loathing, rejecting their own bodies as a form of escape. I don't hear about them wanting to get validation by making men uncomfortable. (Maybe they do though! I think men do NOT want women in their segregated spaces, for sure, but I do not know if men feel violated the same way women do?) Whereas AGP are doing this as sexual fetish and a big part of the thrill is violating women's rights.

Note that this doesn't apply to all trans people, or even many. I write about the vocal TRA ones. As a gay guy, I can't say I feel particularly threatened by transmen in any context. My main problem is the boxer ceiling ones, the autohomoerotic transmen. Getting into gay places for validation and shaming people into dating them. They seem hellbent on getting a gay guy specifically. There're plenty of bisexual and """pansexual""" guys for them, but I guess it isn't validating. :s
