(2) mass influx of males overwhelming female prisons and ensuing assaults on women, (3) women’s sports being destroyed, (4) mass sexual assaults by trans-identified males on women in women’s spaces,

This is not what's going to turn the tide, sorry to say. The "progressive "left" does not give a fuck about women, especially if you can throw the word "white" in there, and now you have a left-approved pass for full-on misogyny (which, gee, affects WOC as well. Who would've thought.)

Concern about how this is affecting women and their rights isn't what's going to do it. As is stands the biggest two-group battle within this whole thing seems to be trans women vs cis women, and you know which they care about.

I somewhat disagree with you. Especially on the sports thing. Both liberal and conservative men are not OK with their daughters playing against males. It's a very peaking issue. It's the gateway issue for men into trans discussion. For them though, it's an open and shut case. They don't hear the discussion happening and don't realize all that people are serious and implementing changes into law allowing males into girl's/women's sports. I've heard similar concern about men in women's prisons. They say of course they'd identify as a woman to get out of men's prison, so it's ripe for abuse. The problem is visibility of these issues. Most people still don't know they're happening and that it's widespread. I also think the Olympics would have been a very peaking moment for a lot of people, but that's now not going to happen any time soon, which is a shame.
