They're basically the same thing. Corrective rape can range anywhere from forcible rape to coercion through threats of outing her. Same thing with what TIMs are doing, can be anything from forcible rape to coercion through threats of outing her as a TERF.

There's no real difference between the two, one is just backed up by progressive activists and the other is backed by hardcore religious conservatives.

I came to the same conclusion after observing their answers to rejection. My doubt was if I was missing or misinterpreting something. Thanks for answer too.

It is an interesting thing to observe. I saw some of them respond with "your reasons are transphobic/hurtful", even though they were not owed reasons to begin with and they asked for them. Use of the word "excuse" when talking about soneone's boundaries is also a clear indicator of their enitlement. Lesbians should learn to stop allowing their boundaries to be put up for debate and be more unapologetic about them.

I agree, and they seem to be doing just that. Maybe they are just too fed up ( and Lily Cade's manifesto is basically that, an expression of anger and frustration ) with the current cover up and handwaving of those situations. I can understand where they are coming.
