A straw man is a logical fallacy based on the misrepresentation of an opponent’s argument. To be successful, a straw man argument requires that the audience be ignorant or uninformed of the original argument.
Transgender Women and their Helpful Allies DEPEND ON the straw man specifically with regard to arguing against “Cathy Brennan.” I generally do not engage straw man “arguments” because it’s a dishonest tactic.

I don’t mean to intone that you have any responsibility towards us, but for whatever it’s worth, you have gotten through to some of us.
Thanks for actually engaging, that is great.
