The amount of transwomen in departments would have to reach critical mass before women start taking note. As of right now complaining a peep about it could completely end a woman's career.

I honestly think that's changing in the US (that women who speak out will automatically lose their jobs), and in part it's because of a group that is referred to as the "Intellectual Dark Web."

These are relatively influential people, some not traditionally allied with pure conservatism or leftist stances. Many of them, and others of like mind, are challenging all the critical theory ideologies: critical race theory, Queer Theory, post-Modernism, etc., and/or the current stifling of free speech and debate.

The HARPERS letter that J.K. Rowling signed is an example of that push back. I think that things are looking up for GC women, in the US and UK at least, as more and more "Progressives" speak out against the absurdities of the extreme trans activism agenda.

Since conservative thinkers were never on board, I think that a critical mass will be reached soon and in the US we will soon be able to freely discuss the intersection of women's rights and trans demands.

At critical mass it will be too late. Since the ideology makes no distinction between trans and women, how will women and handmaidens argue against entire depts being taken over? This is not groundless fear-mongering as we see daily how aggressive they are in pursuing their own ends and how they avoid reasoned debate.

Women may end up taking discrimination cases against employers in that they showed special favour to trans candidates and I reckon that will happen.
