How do you handle women who are in support of "trans Rights" and say that they don't feel threatened by TIMs?

I haven't been in this situation (yet), but one question I would love to ask these women is why they have so little compassion for other women? Why is empathy and understanding only for the trans people? Why aren't women's feelings and experiences valid? I remember the struggles in the 70s for women to be taken seriously and not dismissed as irrational, hysterical, on our periods, or just being women. For example, we fought to get the message across that what men considered innocent and nothing in the workplace was harassment and created an unpleasant work environment. Yet now, when women voice specific concerns about accommodating transgender people, they are being vilified. Why is this? Why not can't we show compassion for ALL people?

These young lib fem types are so f-ing entitled sometimes. They have no idea what women my age went through, much less what women older than me.

Hey, girls, my rights- that my mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and I fought for, along with millions of other brave women over generations - are not yours to give away.

I know right? I have not seen any woman ask these women about their lack of compassion for other women. Don't get me wrong, I've seen radfems ask in their videos and articles but never got to see an actual live situation where they ask face to face. The only guess I have is self-internalized misogyny.
