> Rowling opposes trans women’s rights to enter women’s spaces, because she thinks they’re men and she thinks men are dangerous rapists.

If you make a rule saying "anyone who says 'I am a trans woman' is automatically allowed to enter women's spaces", that *in theory* allows trans women to enter those spaces, but *in practice* allows anyone to enter those spaces (as long as they are willing to say the words).

Basically, before you establish a rule, instead of only thinking how people will use the rule as intended, also think about how people will abuse the rule in ways it was *not* intended... because that definitely *is* going to happen, especially if it is a law.
