That's not the only thing that the tide is turning on.
The ideology that cancels women for having an opinion that disagrees with the ideology get 'cancelled' and lots of abuse, in person and online.
"Tide begins to turn’ for the women cancelled by trans campaigners. The poet Jenny Lindsay tells her story after Joanna Cherry condemns ‘new form of McCarthyism’ based on gender ideology

The poet Jenny Lindsay said it was impossible to prove that someone had been “no-platformed”

Jenny Lindsay knows exactly when her “cancellation” began. It was June 2019 when the poet and performer tweeted her shock at the
"violent words of a columnist for an arts magazine, who had written: “Take out the Terf trash. Make them afraid. Get in their faces.”
How “extraordinary that such views are given an airing” in any publication, Lindsay wrote, adding “for clarity” that the columnist, a trans woman called Cathy Brennan, was advocating attacks on women, “Terf” being the acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist.
Lindsay’s response seemed reasonable, even understated, given that days later Brennan was under police investigation for lunging at Julie Bindel, the campaigner against violence against women, after an event in Edinburgh.
Yet for all her apparent good sense, Lindsay’s tweet made her a host of unseen enemies. Over following weeks and months she was the victim of smears and rumours online. Offers of work began to drift away as performers and venues were peppered with demands not to give her a platform.
“You can’t prove you’re being no-platformed but the opportunities simply don’t come,” Lindsay, from Ayr, said. “It is so much easier for people simply not to book me and to say, ‘Know what, booking Jenny is seen as a statement of some sort, so book someone safer’.
“That’s how cancel culture works — it’s not about one venue cancelling, it’s about the culture around you becoming so toxic that people stop calling or offering you work.”
Lindsay is the kind of woman Joanna Cherry referred to last week when the MP condemned the “new form of McCarthyism” around gender ideology, which some believe is poisoning the arts and education in Scotland.
Strange world we live in. Men cancelling women aided and abetted by other women.
