This must be the year Britain finally kills off trans ideology
It’s taken ovaries of steel to get us here. In 2026, Labour must prioritise women’s rights over gender groupthink

"There is a cartoon that routinely does the rounds. It depicts two women standing back-to-back, tied to a stake atop a pyre waiting to be lit.
“What are you in for?” asks one. The other replies, “Saying, ‘He is a man.’” “Same,” comes the response.
For those of us who have been “burnt” over the last few years for stating such basic facts, for pointing out that men are not women, even if they want to be, this depiction is now bittersweet.
That’s because 2025, to some extent at least, has changed things.
The imposition of trans ideology into every area of our lives has been challenged this year, and it is now losing its grip. The words “man”, “woman” and “biological sex” are no longer verboten. Meanwhile, the chanting of mantras such as, “Trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary people are valid”, seems, dare I say it, passé.
While I am among the vast majority who wish no ill on individual gender-nonconforming people, I welcome the fact that the cult of trans (aided to such an extent by its celebrity supporters) is falling apart. The pink and blue flags do not signal liberation, but a corporate desperation to be modern.
One of the reasons for this fall from grace is straightforward. Powerful lobby groups, such as Stonewall, which had its tentacles everywhere, told lies. It claimed that letting men self-identify as women would have no downside for actual women at all, and it offered organisations a version of the law as it would like it to be, not as it was. The movement also lied to children, suggesting that they were able to change sex and that the drugs they needed to take to do so were harmless and reversible.
All these lies have since been exposed, through stories of detransitioners, employment tribunals and court cases where individual women who refused to go along with this totalitarian groupthink fought back. They did not do so without suffering, however. Indeed, these plucky women have so often paid a terribly high price (from job losses to vicious backlashes) for insisting on their right to free speech and to call a biological male a man, as well as their refusal to shilly-shally around language.
The big win, of course, was in April, when For Women Scotland won in the Supreme Court. The court’s judges unanimously ruled that the meaning of sex in the Equality Act was biological sex, not some nebulous idea of gender. This ensures the right of women to single-sex spaces, be they changing rooms, refuges or prisons.
It was followed up by another victory in November, when it appeared that the International Olympic Committee, after reviewing the evidence, was edging closer to imposing a ban on transgender women (biological men) competing in the female category.
And then earlier this month, there was a welcome ruling in the Sandie Peggie case, when a tribunal ruled that the NHS had harassed Peggie, a nurse, after she complained about sharing a female changing room with a transgender doctor. Neither Peggie’s union nor bosses supported her, but NHS Fife, her employer, was eventually revealed as both institutionally captured and incapable of coherent thought.

Inevitably, yet depressingly, these moments triggered outpourings of rage from trans activists and those who have foolishly gone along with their gender nonsense (either because it was trendy or out of fear of being labelled a bigot, a terf or Right-wing for opposing the movement). These dolts, and I include most of our politicians here, seem unable to open their eyes to the reality breaking through.
That’s despite a clear and worrying example from across the Atlantic, where trans activist overreach has resulted in a backlash against gay marriage and many liberal shibboleths. It has been disastrous for the Democrats and a gift to the far-Right.
Yet they carry on in their not-so-merry way. Indeed, the trans mob’s deranged response to the setbacks the movement has suffered in 2025 has been to parade topless, throw bottles of urine, smash up feminist conference venues and, more recently, Wes Streeting’s office."
