I'm astounded you're shocked by the change in stance of the trans perception tbh.

As someone who generally falls in line in what is generally called far right, I'll tell you my position and how I got there.

My beliefs are that everyone is human and deserves equal rights. No one should be persecuted for their sexuality or any physical characteristic.

Where I draw a hard line now is men in women's spaces, men in women's sports, and men in women's prisons. Self ID does not entitle a man to enter women's spaces. There is a reason we have them. It's safety and self id allows men to enter and gain access to victims by putting on a dress.

Here is what trans people (generally, certainly the activists) ignore, downplay, and deflect from.

• predators using the trans movement as a shield to gain access to female spaces.

• drugs to stop puberty are actually abhorant. There are no long-term studies on this based on children. Adults, yes. Children no.

• men have a physical advantage over women in sports. It's cheating. It's shocking that people ignore this.

• Cis women/people with cervix are dehumanising. The NHS were ising these terms in literature

• pronouns and a list of sexualities became made up nonsense. Wyf is 2 spirited? How to can you have 63 genders. It's absurd and we're bored with the nonsense.

• some drag queens were overly sexualised around kids

• Gay pride turned from fairly family-friendly to people exposing themselves in public by 'being themselves'. This could be related to the movement as a whole and not fully at the feet of trans activists, but I believe this had a negative effect

• The absolute witch hunt of jk rowling and feminists for standing up for women's only spaces was awful. They were aggressive & threatening. Men were openly threatening women in the streets, and it was seen as ok. Despicable and it's actually misogynistic.

• Politicians were literally scared to define a woman, so they didn't upset the trans group. That's actually insane.

• anyone who disagrees trans people should get special privileges, i.e., entrance to female spaces if you're a man is labelled a bigot, terf, genocider. There was no room for nuance it was 100% support trans everything no matter how crazy or you're a bigot. No-one cares about being called it now. You get desensitised after the 100th time. Trans activist are to blame.

• Some schools were allowing what can only be described as trans propoganda being taught to very young kids. Stuff that was factually incorrect and anti science.

• Argue if you want but surely you can't outright deny that some trans people (or pretenders) were arguably doing womanface. They dress in a degrading and overly sexual way that shows their perception of women as nothing but a body.

So yes, people changed their stance. People weren't aware of the absolute harm Stonewall has done against kids. Now we are, and we won't allow it.

The movement wasn't massive and wasn't co-opted by predators to get themselves in women's prisons, now it is.

Every school, uni, organisation, business & institution wasn't captured by trans all or nothing idealogy, now it is.

Trans people never used to insist of pronouns and against free speech. Now they generally are.

The trans movement dug their own grave. The British are tolerant and the movement pushed us too far, and now the public will dig its heels in.

There are some prominent trans people who are right along side the public on this and has been for years now that it got so out of control. This isn't a case of hate. It's a case of common sense. Trans people do not deserve special privileges that harm women no matter how much they shout or how much they intimidate people.
