Wow this is great news! For someone outside the UK, can you explain how such a drastic change happened in such a short time?

I think this is just one battle. The war isn't over, and Labour (main opposition party) still seems hellbent on self-id. Scotland as well seems keen to go down the Canada route wherever it has power to do so.

Success has been achieved by many, many individual women pushing back. I would advise:

  • write to your politicians. Especially if you normally vote Democrat, make it clear that this is a big issue for you that will affect your vote.

  • if you are under 30 DEFINITELY write to your politicians. There is a belief that all young people are on board with the TRA narrative.

  • donate to crowdfunders for lawsuits that challenge this ideology. In the US I would really support the girls in Connecticut who are being denied sporting scholarships because they have to compete against biological males. This issue is bigger in US than UK and drawing attention to their cause may raise support.

  • write to your children's schools if you are concerned about anything. Band together with other parents and push back as a group. Ask to see what is being taught and see whether regressive stereotypes are being promoted.

  • Keep the focus on women and girls. Make male politicians have to defend the belief that women who have suffered sexual assault or Muslim girls must be forced to share changing spaces with male-bodied people

  • try not to get sidetracked into discussions about bathrooms, as this is easiest for TRAs to defend. ("We just want to pee"). Keep the focus on changing rooms and women's refuges. Bathrooms are just the thin end of the wedge.

  • support women who speak up. JKR spoke up more loudly after she received cards and emails in support after she defended Maya Forstater. Thank your senators and representatives when they defend women's rights.

  • read the feminist boards on Mumsnet. It's a UK site but you might get some useful tips. (You have to watch your language carefully, though, so don't post unless you are sure you're keeping to the rules.)

  • phone radio talk shows if you're brave enough!

  • do not accept labels such as 'cis' or answer a survey question about 'gender identity'. Don't let this nonsense become normalised.

It takes lots and lots of individual women (and men) speaking up about this for years. However, the more who do, the more the shaky foundations of this ideology will begin to crumble.
