    Exactly.

    More (extremely transphobic) details:

    TIM stands for "trans-identified male", it's what TERFs call trans women and transfem people more generally, and also apparently cis woman Imane Khelif (I am become jonkler).

    There's a transmasc counterpart, TIF for "trans-identified female".

    I'm sure a huge part of the draw here is that Tim is a man's name while Tif (short for Tiffany) is a woman's name.

      It's more "They call us TERFs and we don't like it so we will make up an acronym for THEM and see how THEY like it!" It really is that petty. Also the trans denialism.
