"Tipping point" - What will it look like? (Trigger warning for suicide)

Inspired by a poster on the Henning Wehn post regarding a "tipping point" (and the feeling that we're perpetually creeping closer, but never seem to get there), what do you think the tipping point for the demise of gender ideology will be and look like?

On the positive side, I think there will be a mass sigh of relief that we can finally talk about this publicly without fear, that being Gender Critical will be recognised as rational thought, that young people identifying as trans will get proper help and support. I hope for sex segregated spaces and a sensible approach to people identifying as trans; with their own individual needs met across the board (from their own sports categories to bathrooms).

On the negative side, akin to dying cults, I fear that the vulnerable members of the trans community will will truly believe that life isn't worth living any more, and that activists will use their deaths as a tactic to keep their ideology alive.

The false links that TRAs have already put out there between people "not being able to live their best lives" (i.e. being denied any therapy that isn't affirmative) and suicide have already been put out there dressed as facts; "TERFs" are "literally killing trans people" with our words etc. etc. I think this is dangerous and something we need to look out for when we do reach the tipping point - how do we support these vulnerable people?

Has anyone had any similar thoughts about what a tipping point will look like? I'm hoping in many ways for a quiet fade-out with a minimal number of casualties along the way, but when legislation starts to change, that might cause things to snowball.

It will have to be when Starmer stands next to Rosie Duffeld and apologises for her treatment by the misogynists in his party.

I don't think that will happen!

As for a BBC documentary - maybe in 10 years minimum??

Or the BBC correctly identifies trans identified men. And does a documentary about how TRAs have bent the law and infiltrated organisations.
