One small aspect of this is that in the UK the debate began earlier because of the proposal to go for self-declaration of gender with zero safeguards around it. In the US everything has happened in the shadows. It took me some time to realise how much has been changed when nobody was watching.

I hope that the US can catch up on that needed open debate, but right now people are being pilloried for saying anything at all.

The gender lobby has very deliberately kept their lobbying in the shadows - this was their plan. They know how unpopular their demands are so they get them passed, under the aegis of lgbTQ rights, before the public know they exist.

In the US, self-ID and gender identity conversion ban laws have been passed on the state level with just about no one knowing.

And, as I've said, no one in my real life has heard of the Equality Act, much less know its horrific implications for women and gay men.
