Id actually argue the same point and position slightly differently and it's why I've always thought it would fall apart.
Transactivism could only raise as it did at a time which allowed for a mass cult to arise which was populated by a social bubble with had low general knowledge and low awareness of political issues.
It was by design that it could only exist in the safety of no debate. Thats why it was fought so hard to keep it and why MN and then subsequently twitter have been so hated.
There was never a need to construct a coherent argument or defence because the defence was fear and instilling ignorance. Indeed it was actively better than it didn't.
The assumption has been from the GC side that this was an equally sided argument where rational was valued on both sides. That never was the case.
This has been another example of political opposites being divided by an emotional side on one side and a rational side on the other as driving forces. (The two other movements that you will be most familiar with are Trump v Democrats and Brexit in the UK). That's not to say there aren't emotional players on the GC side and rational players on the GI side - it saying the driving force has been that GC favour rational arguments whereas the GI said aren't interested in that and throw out appeals to emotion.
The problem with appeals to emotion in politics is they always evaporate on contact with reality. They are time limited in how long such movement can last. They collapse eventually under the weight of their own bullshit.
The TRAs only ever had disinformation, fear and hyperbole. Many GC assumed they had an argument. They don't now and they never have.
Once the facade started to crack and Forstater won, the fear disappeared and they lost control of the narrative.
Every step we take forward we realise that fear and abuse of power has existed to keep control. They can't follow due practice and demonstrate due diligence and maintenance women's rights as well as pushing this shite. It's impossible.
That's why they turned to capture.
And there will be a reckoning on it for all those people in those jobs as it becomes clear just how much grifting has been going on.
The public are reasonable but expect fairness, justice and value for money. They hate incompetence.
The game is up and those caught up in it are starting to panic because they know the jij is up.
