These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.
They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

Reform’s new “head of policy” has said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a “regional Slavic conflict”.
He added: “It is a conflict happening in the world that I don’t care very much about.”

This whole fight over transgender stuff happening on X is so weird to me. The most notable thing about trans issues in the last 5 years has been the enormous, coordinated anti-trans activism campaign across the right, aided by moral cowards in the center.

No amount of "debate" can win when the deck is stacked like that by the wealthy and powerful. And that's just one billionaire. JK Rowling has spent millions to fund lawfare and anti-trans orgs in the UK. Joseph Edelman has spent millions bankrolling Do No Harm to push anti-trans policies.

This is the UK’s 'equality' regulator.
Trans voices are not important enough for the EHRC to keep a record of what was said. This should be a headline in all the papers.
