I am scared what is going to happen to America now that the Democrats have won.

I think the backlash is coming. There are signs from the UK that people have had enough of this nonsense, and since it was never as accepted here are over in the UK I think it'll be gone pretty quickly.

Notice how Target almost immediately started having financial problems when they went 100% in with the transgender stuff. Businesses won't stand for suffering at the bottom line if they have to have mixed sex bathrooms by law.

Agreed. I haven't heard much about what happened with Target, do you know more about that / have more examples by chance?

Also, even if companies don't interface directly with the general public, I'm sure they'll be more leery on trans issues as the threat of lawsuits arises.

I thought it was pretty clear but snopes says no - but its still kind of unclear why Target has not been doing very well.

Snopes says it didn't impact the bottom line and target maintains that the bathroom policy had no effect on the bottom line. But it was doing pretty well previously even with Amazon so dunno.

Is there signs in the UK beyond "a small group of British radfems" though? Because no offense but I wouldn't take radfems/gendercritical to be a sign that an entire country is "waking up", they are a very small, vocal, toxic minority.

I can't be certain but aside from the BBC supposedly removing Mermaids from it's website, I can't say I've seen much backlash from the UK that wasn't directly tied to the radfem/gendercritical movement

I can only hope that money, if not human rights, drives people to stop. I'm homosexual yet I boycott anything with strong LGBT or even gay virtue signalling. If your business makes a fake woke speech about tolerance and acceptance and "the LGBTQ+ community" I will not buy from you, I will go elsewhere if I can.

I've seen people online criticize corporations cashing in on Pride, which seems like a step in the right direction, but I don't think it's "nobody wants you to support this shit", it's more that "Us LGBTQ+ are angry that you only set your twitter icon to rainbow and didn't donate a large sum to trans women RIGHT NOW"

They were able to stop new version of Gender Recognition Act where sex was replaced with gender identity and gender stereotypes. So at least something they can do. UK women in general are more feminist-leaning and more agressive in achieving their goals than women in most of the world, thought.
