This is not a fundamental difference but only a symptom of left infiltration of your government.

As is

Technically it was, or might still be illegal, like perhaps in America. But who cares if the courts rule otherwise?

There's an alternative: malicious sabotage.

Where identity politics is involved, I'll bet that there is a policy about LGBTQGHXK. In that case all the men have to do is state that they "identify as female". If enough do it, maybe some of the women will be ejected to ensure balance or be forced to "identify as men".

Good Idea! Also womens toilet is a really discriminative thing, which should belong to the past.

I always wonder how this extremely small amout of people who are pushing this genderism could get so much influence.
Because with the skin color issue at least I see a lot of black etc. people, (in western Europe) but trans people and the extreme feminist brigade is possibly around 1/10000 ?-th of the population.
In Germany they even managed to change the language which is even annoying many leftist.
And in the german language it is much more irritating and complicated than in english.

So there are somwhere maybe a few thousand people who somehow got this extreme influence.
Do (did) they have botfarms? Or did anyone ever checked whether the shitstorm in case for example with Rowling was coming from real people?
Or are they sitting organised in front of the PC all day long hunting for some articles?
There are way more important issues with much more affected people where there is no change for decades, but this nonsense is spreading like pest.

What would bot farms change?

The success of PQRS+ABCXYZ is a combination of two factors:
1. some narcissists having nothing better to do than sitting on the Internet all day and posting about their uniqueness, writing petitions and so on
2. stupidity and indoctrination of the general population to be "kind" and "understanding", largely a work done by earlier SJW movements

Okay, maybe a third:
3. rich media owners (in privatized media countries) giving air time to everything that focuses attention of pissed off plebs on something other than the rich

I liked the bit where it was hard to get published

That was a funky period in British politics. The tripartite school system (actually just two levels in most of the country) was pushed by people on the left. It allowed working class kids in state schools to compete on fairly equal terms with wealthy kids going to expensive public schools, so it seemed like something the left should be behind. Before it was effectively rolled out across the whole of the UK fashion changed, and the left was suddenly in favour of scrapping the system, and having a single level of "comprehensive schools", which are a kind of "most children left behind" scheme . That suited the rich, as it reduced competition with their kids, so they let the change occur. No conspiracy, just everyone powerful pushing in the same direction with different goals.

That article says the Fabian Society wouldn't publish the book, not that is was hard to get published. I'm not sure which side of the argument the Fabian left was on at that time.
