This demonstrates how easily manipulated so many women still are. It's one of our biggest psychological weaknesses, and something I speak about over and over again on my website. What I would say to Julia is, "Don't believe everything men tell you. Some can be quite manipulative to get what you want; in fact research shows that boys learn at a very early age to figure out how to put one over on females; and it begins with their mother." I certainly saw that with my little brother, was lied when it benefited him. Mom would always believe him even when I said I knew for a fact he was lying. "Oh, it was so hard not to believe him with those big blue eyes!" she said. I told her years later she and I would have gotten along better when I was a teenager if I'd just lied to her more, like my brother did. I was too honest with her.

My brother isn't like that anymore, thankfully. He's long since outgrown it. But it's an example of how manipulative males can be, specifically in regard to females. A lot of girls & women are far too trusting - it's built into us - and we have to fight it to avoid being taken advantage of. It's what we're dealing with with all these wide-eyed clueless social justice crazies - they're trying to do the right thing, but they too-easily believe that males magically turn into females in all ways when they claim to be female now. Progressives are further hobbled by the incorrect belief that male and female brains are exactly alike. They are not; there are distinct differences and Goddess knows I can tell listening to a transman or transwoman talk for awhile - you can always hear the birth thinking come through.

Someone here a few months ago recommended a transman discussion of autogynephilia in the trans movement - four very believable men! Like, if they hadn't identified they were transmen up front I don't think I would have known - at least until somewhere midway when they started showing characteristic female empathy and ways of speaking. Then I saw the female underneath shine through.

Some transwomen out themselves immediately this way - these are the guys who demonstrate the typical cluelessness you find in cis-men who have never tried to understand why women fear male bodies, particularly ones they don't know in private places. The ones who are pushing the hardest to be in places they don't belong are the most male of them all.

And BTW, hopefully I don't still have to say this but I will anyway since many feminists (including me sometimes) speak a little too generally about males: Not ALL males are manipulative or out to get what they can from women. but a lot of them are and I can speak from decades of experience that a helluva lot of men NEVER bother to try and learn anything real about women and what makes us tick, which is why so many can't even get a foot in the door for a date. I used to ask men complaining about how hard it was, "Did you ever Google on what women are looking for? Or on how to write a good dating profile? Or how to post a good dating photo, and which *not* to post? Or why men fail so much with women? Or the top mistakes men make in dating?" The answers are always No, no, no, no, and no. And these are guys *my* age, and I'm 60.

We are different, very different between the ears, and many women, including feminists, have a lot to learn about the importance of saying No (the subject of my last Substack article) and not being manipulated by, frankly, not terribly clever male opportunists.

You mention trans outing themselves as they speak. There is another way too, behavior. Years ago in Thailand my wife said, "See the katoys over there?" "Where" "When have you seen a group of Thai women standing in a group on a street corner? That's what men do."

Her other tell, they overdo their perception of femininity. The most powerful feminine attributes are subtle. Natural and unforced.

yeah, overdoing womanhood seems to be a universal challenge for transies. I remember when I first moved to Toronto I saw this very tall woman sort of lumbering down Yonge Street and her walk was weird...and I realized..."That's a MAN, baybee!" lol.

What the woke set doesn't understand - it's in direct violation of the left's overall narrative - is that men and women are NOT the same, not even at birth. We are wired differently. Each one of us has more brain wiring in common with a fellow male/female regardless of race, than we've got with a member of our own race and the opposite sex.

Our brains *are* different. I expect some folks eventually pull it off but most transies today, even the oldest of the Second Wave from the late oughts - are still so new at this that it may take many years to really pass as a convincing wo/man.
