The following statements are completely non-controversial amongst the ‘woke’ when speaking of such things as racism, anti-semitism and the treatment of conquered peoples. They are held to be so obvious as to be universally true:
• Offences committed by the powerful against the powerless do not face much of a backlash, because the people against whom they have committed those offences have no power.
• Resistance by the powerless, however, faces a massive backlash; people in power cannot bear to face losing that power, for fear of being treated the way they have treated the powerless.
As soon as anyone applies that metric to what is happening between women and the trans activists, it is immediately obvious which side has the power. It is the side screaming that they have none, whilst simultaneously removing rights from the other side.
