Sections of the media had a go at presenting them as a rival organisation to Stonewall - as indeed they are, in the same way that I am a rival to Oleksandr Usyk in his quest to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world - when they first got going, but it didn’t really take. Trouble is, it doesn’t need to. If you can gain influence with the right people then the fact that no fucker has ever heard of you doesn’t really matter.
I don't know if they've been that important in the retreat on trans issues though, and that's one reason I wouldn't have met them. JK Rowling has been much more important than they have been. The same money the LGB Alliance get also fights abortion, contraception etc, but has made no progress in the UK. They've got some roll back on sex education, but I wonder whether that'll last because it's so obviously based on lies.
The reason trans rights have been forced into retreat is that they weren't as solidly based as those other things. Cass has demolished puberty blockers, backed by most of the medical establishment. Self-id was unpopular in Scotland as soon as it was passed, and has obvious problems. And the more controversial stuff on ending single sex spaces could probably have been challenged all along under the Equality Act.
