Changing the language from transsexualism and transvestitism to the much more anodyne transgenderism was a deliberate tactic thought up, pushed for and successfully accomplished by TRAs specifically for the purpose of making the motives of TIMs seem to be about identity rather than sex and fetishism. So was the creation of the concept of "transgender child."

Yes, it'd be impossible for them to push their agenda on children without using the more innocent-sounding "transgender." Imagine they say "transsexual/transvestite child" or "my 4-year old identified as a transvestite!" instead, it'd sound incredibly wrong.
