I think that men were starting to feel like they were losing power in the world, and so they came up with this as an idea to regain power and push women down. They've managed to engineer a way to push women down and make it look like any woman who pushes back is a hate-filled transphobe. It's keeping a lot of us silent on the topic, which is dangerous.

This is my theory as well, along with transhumanism(which a lot of powerful men seem to support).

I remember in the 90s when society first became really free and accepting for most people it was pointed out that in the future kids could likely only rebel by becoming very religious.

It happened, just not always in the way they thought it could.

Transhumanism wants to push this— huge powerful lobby of wealthy individuals, companies, involved in tech/medicine/STEM in general. They want to own women’s bodies, legally disenfranchise us, colonize us, force used into surrogacy, force us into slave labor, take our children and experiment on them. It’s all about profit. They have the money to make people dance to their tune... election campaigns, donation to “charities”, control over social media platforms. That’s my theory. Can’t think of any other reason this would be so coordinated and world wide. Covid exacerbates this— as many women are under stress and are distracted by what’s going on. Those of us who are “aware” are being attacked psychologically online via these dehumanization campaigns by “women’s groups/companies” online, by social media supported trolls who attack, dox, and ban us. It’s terrorism and brainwashing all in one.

I read once that the turning point for Salem was when someone accused the colonial governor's wife. Suddenly, things started getting shut down.

I would have thought JK Rowling was the modern day equivalent. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be the case.

It would need to be someone high up in woke left politics.

It already happens with certain individual issues. Trudeau couldn't be cancelled for blackface, Corbyn couldn't be cancelled for antisemitism. They need to go hard with all guns blazing on someone like that.

Rowling was high up in the left’s politics... I suppose it would need to be a man...

It will end when they step on enough toes and make too much noise. They're on their way there and luckily TRA's are their own worste enemies. People know that trans women are not women. Some people will echo the sentiment because they believe it makes them good people, but it will get increasingly more difficult to echo it when they're discovering that those trans women are just men enacting a fetish. People know what a man is and what a woman is. Nobody believes the obese man in a dress and UwU hair ribbons is a woman just because he put on makeup and pretends that his penis is an overgrown clit. People know that only women become pregnant. Men know that women don't have penises. Straight men don't approve of the risk that the woman they brought home has a dick. And even men who would sleep with trans women wouldn't be intrested in brining that trans woman home to meet mom, or marry them and have children with them. Trans people enact a fetish and they are at best a fetish for others. People know that only women have periods. People know that lesbians like other women. When the TRA's get loud enough to entreat on the every day lives of more people and become a nuisance, those people will call it for what it is and refuse to go along with it.

It will end when one of two things happens. One, a massive backlash against anything and everything "woke", which will only happen when enough people who have gone along with the demonization of anyone perceived to have an innate privilege(which will soon be everyone non black or trans) stand up for themselves and say "enough is enough" to the social justice mob, a mob which is never ending in its quest to find victimhood and attack the "oppressors". When that happens, the T craze will be caught in the wave and be swept under. This is the less likely solution, imo, although it could happen.

Two, when "woke" women wake the fuck up and realize they're screwing themselves and future women by going along with these mentally ill people, most of whom want to LARP as a woman, portray a stereotype, wreck the english language, make everything about them, invade women's spaces, dictate what it is to be a woman, etc etc. When enough of actual women have had enough to give a fuck, then it will happen. This is slightly more likely to occur imo.

I think women being fed up won't be enough, because as a group we are much less well-funded. There aren't scores of multi-billionaire women out there to push their agenda, whereas men and transwomen do.

Trans activist already same some really racist stuff. It hasn't caused to much of a backlash.
