Okay, this perfectly encapsulates all of my concerns about the trans movement in one image. There's the obvious (or at least what should be obvious) confirmation that this is just a fetish and a way to gain access to more vulnerable women and girls for dangerous men.

But then there's also the wider social concern I have about the LGB movement: wasn't one of the big arguments against LGB rights "what's next, pedophilia?" and we all shook our heads and said that was a slippery slope fallacy, those are totally different things, and no one could ever reasonably use the arguments for LGB rights to advocate for something like that.

And we were right: those arguments still don't work for this stuff. But people are using them anyway, fallaciously, and the second a right-wing outlet gets ahold of this, what will happen? They won't get the nuance about how the T has nothing to do with the rest of us in anything but name, and they'll start going on and on about how LGBT organizations are trying to ruin society. And this time, they won't be wrong. The T is dragging us down with them on their sinking ship.
