When the mainstream media stop taking LGBT+ lobbyists at their word.
When the medical establishment rejects WPATH "best practices".
When sporting associations realize they actually do want women's sport to continue to exist.
When the malpractice suits for "botched" SRS start paying out big money.
Then the institutional power behind troonery will shrivel up and die and it can go back to being something only genuinely insane people care about, like autocannibals and furries.
The first two things have already happened in the UK, third is underway but I think America needs to take the lead on #4.
Conveniently, the above post pretty much nails all the points I was going to make. The thing that makes all of them possible is knowing your enemy and the effect that all of them have is making it easier for as many people as possible to tell the truth. I've said it before, but I think many of us would now be capable of making a more coherent pro-trans argument than most troons.
Newsrooms need to not just drop the activist lines, which even come from AP and Reuters, but change their lexicon (dropping the use of preferred pronouns, or sly pronoun avoidance, for rapists and murderers goes without saying) and treat these medical scandals, violent acts and discrimination cases like the huge stories they are.
This
podcast featuring Nick Wallis, who is live tweeting the currently adjourned Glinner trial and - to my shame I only learnt this recently - was almost singlehandedly responsible for breaking the Post Office scandal, is a must-listen, even if you're not from the UK. The Post Office story went stratospheric over here when it was dramatised and it's interesting to hear someone who had his ear to the ground on something which is now in the public consciousness talking about how slogans like "trans women are women" and "puberty blockers are safe and reversible" could never have been true and what that means. There are a couple of interesting lines here about a potential dramatisation of a trans story, or rather a TERF/women's story. To my knowledge there has never been a trans-focused TV drama that hasn't been affirmative. At least 20 years ago we had
Little Britain and
The League of Gentlemen taking the piss.
Edit: Cath Leng of the above podcast had a good line on a panel at the Tory party conference: "you can't exercise [your rights] if you don't know you have them." A lot of people have been mislead here, not least troons themselves, but I for one never thought I'd need to know what I know about equality legislation.
Journalists who are on top of the issue can push back against captured outlets e.g. Martine Croxall correcting the autocue's "pregnant people" to "women" on BBC News.
Many top level sports have finally moved in the right direction recently. The absolutely ridiculous notion that women at grassroots level shouldn't be entitled to the same protections needs to be addressed. Media also needs to stop being deliberately obfuscating about what intersex/DSDs are, especially in relation to sports.
I thought more people would jump ship over the last couple of years but they need to be made to lose to an extent that I hadn't expected. Luckily, that can happen because all of this is unprecedented and they will be made to lose in unprecedented ways. As Wesley Yang
puts it:
We don't have a precedent for launching a supposed civil and human rights movement, realizing it was a terribly misbegotten crusade that only inflicted harms, and saying 'yeah, never mind," and thus we have no model from climbing down from the cliff on which this travesty of a rights movement hoisted the Democrats.
