What on earth is going to happen to women?

I’m actually really worried. In the past couple of weeks I’ve seen Theresa May’s speech on how being transgender is not an illness, on how they will be given equal rights including access to vinerable women’s spaces. I’ve seen labour following suit, criticising Margaret Thatchers speech about homosexuality and likening it to the transgender movement, saying they won’t get it wrong. It’s not the same at all! What is going to happen to women in all this? It seems their rights will be pushed to one side and I’m actually rather worried. Can enough of us stand up to be heard?

I am confident we can win.... no sane person will support the Gender reform act... we just need to enable as many people to peak trans as possible, especially MPs.... and enable it to be seen that "no debate" is inappropriate where women and children's rights are concerned.... especially children's as this is an easier for people to absorb...though women's sport comes a close second!

The LGB community is only beginning to push back. They lost control of their organizations to AGP males and most universities have adopted the new rules about the transgender class of men being entitled to use whatever space they choose.
Right now it is a race to raise consciousness before these transgender advocacy organizations can harm any more children.

If the proposed gender reform act goes ahead I don’t think they’ll be any turning back. I think they’ll just deal with the offenders as and when they come. I think once women’s spaces are eroded then that’s it, they’re gone.

If we lose we lose, I don't think we will. It will be a long fight and I believe we will win.

It will cause LGBT damage, they should look to their community leaders. It will ruin the left politically, again it is a fault with leadership. Society will pay the price for this, blame those who knew, kept quiet and did nothing.

I think we're going to lose and have to deal with the consequences.
Maybe then we can regroup and claw some ground back for ourselves.

But I'm very concerned that the long game is to cause society to lose all support for LBG and swing to the far right in a backlash.
