I definitely agree, it absolutely is time to start winning, but the question is how?

I won't be alone in believing that it's all well and good for JK Rowling to publicly have gender critical views (and thank God she has!) because she is rich and influential enough that a few Twitter trolls aren't going to ruin her life in a concrete way. The abuse Rowling has suffered on Twitter is abhorrent, certainly, but I doubt she will be worrying about paying the rent next month.

If we're being honest with ourselves, most of us here are comparative nobodies. There is a real risk that if we are public about our views and attach our names to them there will be real-world consequences from which we don't have JK's ability to insulate ourselves. My company is increasingly genuflecting to the Woke Inquisition as of late, and I have no doubt that before long the trans nonsense will start arriving too, but I'm worried I can't speak out without being branded a racist transphobe and losing my job. It's fine to say 'it's okay to have these views' but support and affirmation doesn't pay the rent (despite trans ideologues claiming it's the be all and end all of everything).

If nothing else, my peak-awokening has got me more interested in politics and 'activism' (even though I would never call myself an activist personally) and in recent weeks I've donated to important causes, signed petitions, wrote letters to elected representatives etc. I know that's probably the minimum standard for 'living in a society' and don't necessarily want a gold star, but if other people are peaking and getting more involved, then that's a little progress after all.
