It is a rollercoaster of hopes and disappointments in the effort to stem the tide of gender ideology impacts in the UK, and on balance I feel mostly hopeful of our ability to hold out here.
But every time I hear about the growing number of other countries bringing in self-id, such as Spain, and now more recently, Germany and Sweden; I wonder how long we can hold out as such an outlier.
It feels like a game of Risk, where all the pieces are left only on the UK and are ominously surrounded.
How does it work long term if every other country brings in self-id and we don't?
How do we imagine this might play out?
How does it work where more and more people have legal opposite sex status in their own country, and that is not recognised here?
I'm trying to get my head around what this would actually look like.
