It seems to me that the UK is full of more feminists who do not subscribe so fully to transgender ideology than is the US, is this true and why?

One reason is that the UK has national health care, whereas in the US we don't and the pharmaceutical lobby (not fondly referred to as Big Pharma) spends the most amount of any lobby on lobbying US politicians.

As a result, what Big Pharma wants, Big Pharma gets. And Big Pharma wants your kids, to turn into very profitable lifetime medical experiments under the guise of transitioning.

Also, in the US, there are only two parties. The Democrats, to which most liberal women belong, are all in on the transgender agenda, partially because of the $ from the Medical Industrial Complex (which includes Big Pharma) and partially because transgender activists very deliberately cemented themselves to gay rights back in the 1990s.

So the Democrats have been convinced that gay rights, which are now phenomenally popular among liberals - almost a religion at this point, are the same as trans activist demands.

And also because our media, except for conservative media, has been bought. Some of the mainstream media is owned by corporations with a direct financial interest in transitioning. Lefty media is receiving funds from organizations and foundations whose priority is trans activist demands.

Not only has our media been bought, but while we were sleeping, the trans lobby started pumping money into women and gay organizations like the National Organization for Women, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign and other liberal organizations like the ACLU and the NAACP (for Blacks).

The net result is, outside of conservatives ,mostly on the very Far Right, most Americans have no idea that the transgender agenda is being implemented from the local to the federal level until they themselves are impacted.

There is a media blackout, Democratic politicians frame trans agenda-friendly legislation as pro-LGBT, and the women's organization that should be pushing back have sold out.

So feminists in the US are shouting into the wind at women who can't hear because the gatekeepers have been bought by the transgender lobby. The only people who will help US feminists are conservatives, conservative politicians and conservative media.

And the US is a huge country, with an incredibly diverse population and physical distances that make it challenging for women to meet.

That's why when some of these UK feminists (just a few - most UK feminists are SUPERSTARS) take it upon themselves to criticize US feminists I wish they would stop. They have no idea what women in the US are up against and they are not helping American women with their carping.

Oh thanks for such a detailed answer. That’s very depressing though. I suppose then American feminists just have to wait until trans activism goes more extreme and pervasive until most or even all American women are directly impacted by some of the trans activists agenda? That’ll take a while but....if Biden wins it should go faster.

The pushback IMO has to come from LGB and it has to come from men. Because women in the US are not heard and women's issues are not prioritized - we still don't have an Equal Rights Amendment even though it was first introduced about a 1/4 of the way into the last century!

The Democrats use women and throw us out. The Republicans claim to care about family, but don't enact legislation to support women and children, so we are lost.

Conservatives are fighting the good fight, but it's going to take prominent liberal men, or maybe a liberal woman with the status of JK Rowling, speaking out, to give cover to the rest of us (well, the few who know what's going on) to speak out too.

The trans activists know that the pushback would come from men. That's why we don't read about 'ejaculators' or about 'prostate-havers'. The male biological sex is left alone. There are no groups calling themselves mxn, to be inclusive.

Gay men are starting to be approached by TiFs on dating apps and they are not happy about it. Some of them kind of deserve it for deserting lesbians after lesbians were some of the only people who would help gay men during the AIDs crisis.
