As the trans ideology falls further out of public favor

I used up my 'junk media quotient' by watching a Jubilee video on YouTube yesterday. It was this one : 5 Feminists vs 1 Secret Antifeminist.... The format of the video is that you have a group of feminists but there's (supposedly) one mole in the group who is trying to pass as that identity and after discussion rounds people are progressively voted out (to eliminate the mole). Anyway, of course there was a militant 'trans' activist in the group and she spouted all the usual ideology. One woman pushed ever so slightly back, talking about her reservations about biological males being able to compete against biological females (but she put it much more mildly). For her trouble, she was then voted out the next round (because of course all dissent must be immediately silenced).

So far, so predictable. However what I didn't predict was the strong show of sympathy for this contestant (I think her name was Emma) in the comments. Most of the top comments were supportive of her, and pointed out, quite legitimately, how stupid it was to fail her as a feminist for voicing her reservations on this point. So yeah, this is a longwinded way of saying I think the tide is turning, as sensible people realised that it must turn, but it's perhaps happening more quickly than I'd realised.
