 "This is going to make the problem worse" expresses the concern that /r/itsafetish pushes people from (2) to (3): if the option of both acknowledging and acting on AGP is "taken off the table", then the trans-activism coalition can "offer a better deal" than quietly living in shame forever.
 
-But from the perspective of hard-core gender-critical feminists, (2) itself is _already_ a loss: they're trying to push people from (2) to (1). It might be a strategic mistake on their part (if the (2)→(3) "radicalization effect" is larger than the (2)→(1) "stigmatization effect"), but I don't think it's obvious. And if it's a mistake in the Current Year (because it's better to seek favorable terms of surrender rather than risk the victor's wrath when the war is already effectively lost), it might not have been in Current Year Minus Five, or Minus Ten, _&c._, when the coalition backing (3) was less powerful and therefore had a weaker bid.
