The quiet resentment towards transwomen from an otherwise apathetic majority, is steadily growing louder. I can see it in one of my brothers that runs a powerlifting gym, another brother who’s a police officer and the oldest brother who works in the corporate business world.

They’ve all encountered issues with the notion that transwomen are women and all three have become staunchly opposed to trans rights. When your average Joe decides to take a stance against something they’ve personally got no skin in, you can tell, whatever activism trans and their allies are utilising, is backfiring more than they know.

The straight men in my life are over it too. Various reasons - sports, office politics, and the intense fear that the hot girl on Tinder will turn out to be a guy.

Even the wokeiest bros in my social circles who originally enjoyed lecturing women on not being TERFs have now realized they are asked to view transwomen as their leaders and authorities and so it's stopped being okay for them.
