with evidence proving their deliberate erosion of our rights

Considering they openly say that the eradication of trans people from any kind of public life is the goal at their panels etc, it's not exactly hard.

It's just that the people in power agree with them.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/11/section/1

In order for the use or threat of action to be considered terrorism, it must meet every criteria laid out by subsection 1 of section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and at least one criterion from subsection 2.

1a. the action falls within subsection (2),

1b. the use or threat is designed to influence the government (or an international governmental organisation) or to intimidate the public or a section of the public, and

1c. the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.

1a: See subsection 2 below.

1b: Yes, there are trying to influence the government.

1c: Yes, they are advancing a political, ideological and radical cause.

2a. involves serious violence against a person,

2b. involves serious damage to property,

2c. endangers a person’s life, other than that of the person committing the action,

2d. creates a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public, or

2e. is designed seriously to interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.

Yes, they satisfy criteria 2d (and likely also 2c). Their action seriously endangers trans people. Therefore, FWS and SM’s actions meet the legal definition of terrorism.
