Much as I admire JK Rowling and her stand out courage in challenging 'transgender' her 'wear whatever you want to wear' needs a rethink. The wolf in little red riding hood wore human grandmother clothing with the express purpose of tricking little red into thinking he was safe and benevolent so as to devour her. He tricks her visual sense, one of the five primary senses, and if her visual sense is overused and her sense of smell underused (especially true these days) then she won't run. Men in women's clothes performing on stage, ok, if you like that sort of thing. On stage it is clear it is an act. Off stage it's an effective predator disguise.

Some Men have to dominate no matter how trivial or convoluted the point they are trying to make is. They just need to be right, to show who's superior no matter how much they waste your time and energy. Engaging with them stokes their egos. Don't fall for it.

This was an absolutely inspiring and amazing write Amy! I thought I had to make my peace with being "that one unconcerned horse" but I'm happy to be reminded by you that "we are many horses" so to speak. Thank you so much!

The why is as equally as important as the what. If we don't address why this is being done, a wide scale public and private backed marketing effort to promote something that historically has applied to less than %1 of the population, we will at best put it on pause. The promotion of trans ideology isn't about erasing women but part of a larger effort to destroy healthy male/female sexual roles in society, to muddy the waters in terms of sex so that non-normal sexual behavior can be promoted and normalized or at the very least made socially acceptable; not just tolerated but accepted.
As we have been coerced into embracing more non-common sexual behaviors society has declined in terms of marriages which are the foundation of families which are the foundation of a society. It's not only important to stop this but to address why so it isn't merely put on pause.
This analysis is quite accurate - but limited in circumstances to those men who are actually "in good faith" attempting to pass. From my understanding of the phenomenon the vast majority of these mimickers are doing no such thing - as there is absolutely no prospect of them actually being read as women and succeeding in the mimicry. Such actions actually require non-passing since if they did pass they would not cause any alarm - ie would not be noticed at all - so they REQUIRE being noticed to have the effect they seek. They seek to disturb.
Going into social spaces and particularly regulated-access spaces in transwo-man face is a form of ritualised humiliation for the women present- since they suffer clear disturbance from it but present rules preclude them from even complaining about it. Another piece of evidence as to the pathological nature of the phenomenon. Just a Western version of those street scenes from Afghanistan where women must "show overt submission" by wearing the veils etc.
"what it actually is" is where your argument fails as it all rests on an argument from incredulity. There is no "fact" of what actually is outside of the subjective nature of knowledge and language. So while I can follow your logic steps to see how you got to where you did - you are trying to establish an objective standard of sex/gender that just does not exist.

Great article! Thanks for showing the gravity of the situation for what it is.
You should add the link to Part One so that people can readily find it and read it!

very interesting discussion on the signals are not just about the signal-sender but the signal-receivers too.
This is great how you break it all down so people can better understand this madness, thank you so much.
A great post - thank you. My new mantra has become the unassailable declaration of biological reality - "Trans-women ARE Trans-women!" End of story.
I think that Mimic should be remade featuring the trans identified.
