Are you talking about gcwomen? I think it's hard because there are so few of us and we also have responsibilities in our lives. There should be a lot more women on the left pushing back against this ideology, but I have no idea how to even start to unbrainwash the women on the left. The women on the left legitimately do not see the trans problem because they are largely wealthy and elitist, and so do not identify or see the threat of a battered woman in a womens shelter being housed with TiMs. The majority of young women have not participated in a sport that involved a transwoman and they've been brainwashed by the school system to believe this is a civil rights issue. I wish we could wake the left, but I don't see how. I've been working on people in my life very slowly and it's a lot of planting seeds.

I think the media warping of the issue has made a big impact. How often have we heard the perspective of women forced to give up their privacy in a prison for the comfort of men, or women in a shelter forced to do the same, or of the girls who lost sports scholarships to boys? The language used to present the issue is very biased towards the transgender person's perspective, and as presenting the girls' perspective as mistaken or selfish or bigoted (or just not presenting it at all). It would be interesting to see a formal analysis of the language used in media articles on this topic.

Never because the media is agenda-driven propaganda. If the story doesn't fit the approved narrative, it doesn't get airtime. It's not news when it has an ideological agenda it needs to play.

Absolutely. Big Gender has Big Dollars and has bought the media. I am not making this up- follow the money.

The11thHourBlog.com is a good place to start as the author has been tracking the money behind Big Gender.

The media and Hollywood has absolutely and for years been indoctrinating us into gender ideology. As has academia.

My frustration is more that when a post comes on here or on Ovarit about the Equality Act (and again I am talking about the AMERICAN Equality Act) they get very little traction.

Other posts, about things much less important, get tons of comments, but there's about 10 women total, it seems, between both boards, who are willing to do something to stop the Equality Act.

And yet soon many of the rights that AMERICAN women fought for could be thrown into limbo, and our safety, our privacy, our dignity and our sports could be gone.

That is my frustration - that I call up conservative women's orgs and they're all, "yeah, let's get a protest on" whereas on these feminist boards it's crickets.
