They have less public support, less resources and they started on the back foot. They are absolutely the minority in this scenario.
They have loads of support from powerful people and institutions; the BBC, Guardian, Independent, most of showbiz, judges, the Police, MPs - including the local one, who went to bat for them by trying to have the event cancelled.
You have steadfastly minimised the actions of the trans extremist zealots, saying that it's just a bit of paint and broken glass. You say that you wouldn't have been intimidated, well bully for you. Most of the attendees were, as intended by the Traniban mob.
You don't seem bothered that the mob of men initially blocked the entrance and public footpath, as the cops stood and watched. They eventually made them stand aside, but the men shouted and screamed abuse and threats, including through megaphones.
Another nothing burger, as far as you see it.
You minimised Sophie Molly's online threats, saying it looked amateurish; it did, but a threat's a threat, nonetheless.
You initially said that you'd not heard of women being assaulted at LWS and similar events. Even though you know that women have been assaulted and manhandled, you are still trying to minimise it.
These men make threats and carry them out, in order to try to force women to allow them into female single sex spaces. The use of violence, threats and intimidation to force the compliance of a population, or part thereof, to obey most certainly does fall under the definition of terrorism.
It would be bad enough as a one off, but it happens constantly, at any and every women's event.
