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?

Factor Five: UK Women Got Organized Offline and Started Campaigning in Real Life

During the consultation period on the proposed changes to the GRA, women began forming organizations to bring attention to the issues around the GRA and transgenderism and women's and girls' rights more generally.

Women's Place UK, Fair Play for Women, Standing for Women are just three of the new groups that began to spring up. These groups did enormous amounts of research and gathering of evidence in a very short time. And eventually, they got a tiny toehold in the spotlight and their message began to get out.

But funny thing was, whenever UK women tried to meet IRL to discuss the issues, trans activists time and again got their venues cancelled. When women did manage to find venues, activists showed up time and again to scream, shout and harass them in order to try to get the women to shut up.

All this harassment worked against the activists, coz it made them look like aggressive male bullies.

One pivotal moment occurred in Hyde Park in 2017 when a group of women met to go to an undisclosed location to discuss the GRA and women's rights. Male transactivists assaulted one of these women, 60 year-old Maria MacLachlan. The assault was caught on videotape.

When Maria M's assailant, a 26 year-old young man who studies martial arts and goes by the name Tara Flik Wolf, was prosecuted in court, the judge told Maria M she would have to refer to this young thug with the pronouns "she" and "her."

Factor Six: The Role of the UK Press

Feminist journalists and writers for years had been covering trans-related issues from a feminist perspective: Germaine Greer, Sarah Ditun, Julie Bindel, Julie Burchill, Julian Vigo, Joani Walsh, and others.

Although most of the press in the UK was and still is gung-ho pro trans, over the years stories about what was going on in the UK that did not reflect began to be published in other major news outlets such as The Spectator, The Times (of London), and Spiked.
