It just seems that everyday there is yet another example of women / women's groups being silenced or defunded for the sole reason that trans politics focuses on erasing women.

So even if there is an existing thread of discussion about such an attack on women's sex based rights can you just list it here with a link to the relevant mumsnet thread, newspaper article, tweet or whatever.

Lidia Falcón is the leader of the Feminist Party, she’s an historical figure in our country who several times put her life at risk for women’s rights.

I’m a radical feminist from Germany and I would like to let you know that an event which is part of a series called “Queer Lectures” is under threat of being cancelled due to pressure from trans people and organizations uncritically promoting trans ideology.

Vancouver Rape Relief & Women's Shelter is Canada's oldest rape crisis center, established by women in 1973.
It is not the only rape crisis center in Vancouver, there are plenty of others that cater for everyone but it is the only women only rape crisis centre.
It has just had its funding removed.

A rape support service in Glasgow had to receive emergency Scottish government funding after a BBC Children in Need grant was not renewed.
Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis boss Isabelle Kerr stated that funding was pulled by BBC’s Children in Need because it doesn’t work with male survivors.

''Funding cuts have forced the closure of our counselling service for women with histories of abuse, poverty and addiction.''

''We are told that women will be able to access support through a general, mixed-sex service. But these often don’t work for women. There is evidence that a women-only space makes women feel safer and more able to openly discuss the issues affecting them.''
