Kaufman Effect 

Occurring when biological men identifying as transgender women dominate female athletics; refers to Andy Kaufman defeating female wrestlers in the 1970s as part of his comedic act.

When transgender women (biological men) join female athletic teams and deprive women of their right to compete fairly with other biological women, that's the Kaufman Effect.

Andy Kaufman

Andy Kaufman is a famous performer and illusionist who pretended to have lung cancer and die in 1984. He told at least 5 people of his plan to fake his death only 2 short years before he died at age 35 of lung cancer despite not smoking, drinking or using drugs.

No one believed he was really sick and many believe he's alive today. He was obsessed with the "Elvis Lives" concept and decided to try it himself after talking with hoaxer Alan Abel, who successfully faked his death and had his obituary published in the NY Times. He can be found on Twitter, Myspace and Facebook under various names and was the subject of the 1999 film, "Man on the Moon" starring Jim Carrey and the R.E.M. song of the same name.

That Andy Kaufman is one strange duck.

Andy Kaufman Folie 

A type of madness or insanity involving the delusional belief that Andy Kaufman lives with or has befriended the sufferer who is usually an oddball or repressed prankster wishing to attain fame or notoriety.

I had diagnosed her with Andy Kaufman Folie moments after she described to me that the entertainer had been living in her downstairs closet since he had disappeared in 1984 after faking his own death.
