If you’re in the UK, get in touch with Baroness Nicholson. She’s in the early stages of setting up (not sure how settled the name is) the Campaign for Restoring the Rights of Woman, which so far is just letter writing but might come to more. There are also several groups like Fair Play who’re working on various campaigns.

In the US, there’s an org whose name escapes me (something like Rights4Women? Their logo is a fist maybe with a star?) that’s campaigning about the changes to the US Equality Act. Sorry for vague info, searching is giving me lots of results for the UK EA. If I find it, I’ll edit with a link.

Edit: got the name entirely wrong, it’s Feminists In Struggle (FIST): https://feministstruggle.org/2020/05/07/fist-launches-endorsement-drive-for-feminist-amendments-to-the-equality-act/

Thank you that's great stuff to know about but I think the problem with campaigning is that no one is listening so I think legal challenges and actions need to be the way forward

IMO unless we're as loud as TRAs, have financial giants backing us up, no risk of being doxxed/cancelled/fired/threatened and have their governmental lobbying prowess; campaigning is a great way to start. Most of us don't have the privilege to go public with GC views because of real life consequences. We can start by supporting groups and campaigns with GC views, tell young people around us that it's ok to not conform to sexist gender roles/stereotype and peakening people by inserting facts about TRA agenda in relevant discussions.
