The early 21st century has seen a rise in and increasing organisation around anti-transgender sentiments in the United Kingdom.[1] The most common strain is that of gender-critical feminism,[2] although these views are not confined to any specific political alignment.[3] This development has caused some to refer to the United Kingdom by the nickname "TERF Island"[4][5] and has led to substantial rollbacks in the rights of transgender people, including in the areas of gender self-identification,[2][6] access to gender-affirming care,[6] education,[7][6] sports,[8][6] the justice system,[9] and access to social services.[6][1]

This movement has contributed to the blocking of progressive gender reform, shifting public opinion, escalating a trans-hostile environment, and rolling back trans people's rights. [...] Such safety claims are manifest in efforts to exclude trans women from women's refuges, prisons, and sports; restrict gender-based data collection; and limit young people's access to gender affirming health care, education, and support services
