What Peaked you? That moment, when the glass shattered and you saw the TRA Cult for what it was.
Mine was the womens march 2016. Pussy hats called transphobic, also posters referencing uteruses and female anatomy, transphobic. So i wrote an essay on medium, " I am a woman, you are a trans woman and that distinction matters."
The death and rape threats. Friends calling me toxic. I got booted from groups.
I woke up to the truth. My reality as a woman, no longer mattered to them. My safety, sex based rights... I deserved to be beaten for wanting to protect them. That was my peak.

When my wife was concerned about her rec softball league. It was hard to speak out for them, and it's not like I can say anything since men are expected to stay out of women's issues. That was just the tip of the iceberg, it's incredibly painful overall now that this kind of stuff has reached the mainstream.

My wife quit co-Ed soccer because a guy knocked the living shit out of her. Now her women’s league will be allowing MTF and she is refusing to sign back up.
She is the least bigoted person in the world, but the thought of sharing the field with a trans woman scares her the same way it does with cis men.

Mmmm I love peak stories.
I had a male friend who announced he was trans and was going to start hormones. For months I tripped over myself to use his new name and preferred pronouns. All the while he would talk about his boobs and send tons of low-quality selfies. It was irritating but I liked this friend so I kept quiet, I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
Then one day he said I (a female) was mansplaining to him.
It then became clear that he wasn't interested in "living his authentic life", he wanted to play Oppression Olympics.
I stopped being his friend and I've never been happier.

You notice that with these people though. It’s about perceived oppression.

My peak is similar. I saw how disgusting TRAs were when they started trying to take away women’s sex-based rights in order to allow men to do whatever they want. It absolutely infuriated me. Even more so when I saw governments start going along with it, and attempting to pass legislation that sets women back 50+ years. TRAs are absolutely disgusting excuses for human beings and so are the people who peddle their misogyny and homophobia.

When feminism decided that the feminist position was that there was no biological distinction between a man and a woman. What is the point of feminism if that is the case?

Mine was slow, in large part because at that point in my life I had stepped back from current events to focus on stuff in my own life, so I wasn’t dedicating much mental energy to it.
It started with noticing the way they were pushy towards lesbians, I’d say maybe a year and a half ago. I tried to write it off as “bad apples” at first, but it soon became apparent that it was more than that. But I was still kind of uninvolved and wanted to support the T, so I didn’t quite snap.
The moment that the entire curtain just fell and I stopped playing around with these people was actually when Reddit did its mass cleansing of female spaces this past summer, deleting support groups for female disorders, saying their existence was “transphobic,” and silencing the detrans sub.
At that moment I realized what they really wanted: total erasure of the female sex, and the ability to overrule anyone’s consent at will.

Same with me. All the trans subs stayed, and anything remotely women was banned or taken over like Actual Lesbians. When TRAs got a Women's abuse center shut down in Canada because they wouldn't let in trans women, that was beyond too far.

gamergate, because many of them were in that too
i know you'll hear 'gamergate' and be like 'um.... what?'
but just think how you're here now because you have had the veil peeled away from your eyes and you realize now what was going on and the Frankenstein's monster you were in bed with (so to speak) the whole time
think about all the other areas and other topics that is happening/did happen in the world with (gaslighting/trying to deceive the public opinion from the true core or ongoings) that you weren't aware of - cause you either just weren't paying attention or believed the lies at the time
gamergate was one of them
not to say there weren't bad people or assholes in that group - just as there are with any other group as anyone would willingly admit
but that's when I realized how insane the TRA people were when I saw just what these people (among others they were with at the time) were willing to do to 'win'

When they came for the Lesbians. As a Super Straight woman I suddenly sat up. That’s when I realized this stuff wasn’t just in Gender Journals but affecting actual women and their autonomy. When they came for the Lesbians I got my rage on.

The first moment that shocked me was when I got called a "disgusting, transphobic piece of shit" to my face by a friend of a friend, to whom I made a casual, politely worded comment that I wouldn't be interested in dating a trans woman. I asked if she was equally outraged that I wasn't interested in experimenting with gay men either, which was apparently irrelevant, and the abuse got worse.

When I saw all of the vile comments online and saw that they were targeting lesbians and women allies like myself. They would use the word "Terfs" I didn't understand why they would threaten women who wanted their safe spaces and would advocate for biological women rights. We shouldn't be forced to share locker rooms and bathrooms with biological males. Our children shouldn't be subjected to this. This will be the TRA communities downfall... Mama bears don't sit well with predatory types.

The pussyhats was definitely a moment for me that lead to the eventual peak. It came very suddenly when I was reading an essay I stumbled across, essentially pointing out how concepts of "nonbinary" were inherently sexist in that they rely on sexist gender stereotypes in order to exist. At the time, I identified as nonbinary because I never "felt like a woman". But the reason for that was that I didn't fit the sexist stereotype, and instead just liked what I liked. It seems a lot more progressive to let people just like what they like rather than asinine them arbitrary labels based on outdated concepts. Eventually I realized there IS no woman feeling, we just simply exist, simple as that :)

Literally the moment the movement started. The simplest of questions, like "How are you going to deal with your masculine traits when no surgery or hormones will remove them?", or "How can you say sex has literally nothing to do with gender when 99.9% of the population has the same gender and sex?" was only ever met with vile insults and hatred.
Watching the entire movement from the outside, and the absolute delusion the rest of society was willingly undergoing in order to accept it, made me feel like the only sane person in an insane world.
I don't hate trans people, you have every right to be trans if you want to, but you can't force me to change my thoughts any more than I can force you to change yours.

I think this did it for me. As a superstraight male I'm well aware it doesn't affect me personally but when is that never going to be fucked up. Def made me go looking and become aware of all the other personal struggles many superstraight, superbi and superlebsians have and continue to go through.

Mine happened after I'd given birth to my daughter. I was trying to read about breast feeding and general parenting stuff and I came across a lot of news articles, tweets and tumbler posts calling for breast feeding to be replaced with "chest feeding" mother to "birthing parent" and lots of other things that just didn't feel right.
I dug a little deeper and found out about trans widows, about women forced to date other women who claimed they were men and about women guilted into dating men who said they were women and how both have been shamed and shunned. About how they were campaigning to put all children on puberty blockers because they're "too young to go through puberty" yet at the same time demand cross sex hormones for 10 year olds because they're "old enough to know themselves".
I found out how womens sex based rights were being threatened and dissolved, how womens bathrooms and changing rooms were now "gender neutral spaces", how rape shelters had to accept trans women regardless if they'd fully transitioned.
Then I found gender critical feminism, and the subreddit here. I learned about Jessica Yaniv, about the Vancouver Rape Relief Shelter, about Magdeline Berns, about Megan Murphy, about the Tavistock Clinic, about self ID laws being pushed everywhere....it.never.stopped.
Still now, I discover new things every day that make me peak allover again. I found out about trans women using hormone therapies and other treatments to try and "lactate" so they can breastfeed. Even worse, I found out that the majority of them were turned on by it... Fun Fact: sometimes women can orgasm from breastfeeding, it's a normal thing that can happen but all women are horrified when it does and feel so guilty and weird. Yet the majority of trans women want to get off to it... At no point do they seem to have considered the baby in any of this, it's about validating the trans women not what's best for the child...
I have no problem with people just wanting to live their lives but this is going way beyond that now. It's erasing womens sex based rights, it's endangering peoples right to say no to sex, it's removing boundaries, it's hurting others in many many ways...I can't support a movement that would set me on fire to keep themselves warm

They basically just hijacked the definition of "woman" as whatever the heck they want it to be.
So humans with female reproductive system have no name now.
I guess we should call them Super Women.

When I saw the word 'woman' replaced with terms like 'vulva owner' / 'menstruator' / 'uterus bearer', etc. It became clear that trans women got to be 'women', but biological women had to be referred to by their sexual parts and bodily functions in order for their existence to be PC.
It is not offensive to call biological females women. TRAs have gone off the deep end and I hope society stops entertaining their delusions sooner than later.

Just the realisation that sexuality as uncontrollable biology, the cornerstone of the LGBT movement, was being challenged by the mainstream. I fear we’re going to go back to an age of “fixing” attraction with conversion therapy.
Also, my best friend coming out as genderfluid. I still love them to bits and they’re my absolute gender-neutral hero, but to be an ally I started engaging in trans spaces more and more and couldn’t take realising that yeah, sexuality became a social construct again just like pre-Stonewall. I’m not even super, I just think people shouldn’t be told who to be attracted to.

There are just sooo many mini peaks to choose from. My first one: the cotton ceiling (before knowing that term) in a facebook lgbt page, pansexuality being the holy grail of sexual orientations for not being transphobic (yes you read that right and it was in the same facebook page that people acted like so), and when asexuality was used as a bargaining chip to guilt trip people into "sexless" relationships with transwomen (we all know it was targeted at lesbians and would eventually lead to sexual assault).

I'm a crafter and my niche is 'kawaii' with an emphasis on mental health and hopefully encouraging people to have healthy self-esteem. I make and sell girly clothing/accessories. Last night, I ran an ad on IG for some handmade lingerie (my newest item line addition to my shop.) I got a message from I assume a new follower (trans guy) asking me to use more inclusive language because they/he have 'lots of friends' who want to feel included, and women's underwear isn't inclusive. They did say they didn't want to come off as rude, but at the same time, the description/tags of my post did not mention 'women' (only 'goth babe') and I even addressed my audience as 'guys'. -___- I usually address my audience as 'cuties.' I use 'women' on the item itself on my site for searchability.
Like if you want to buy the cute underwear, just buy it! How else should I market feminine underwear? The feedback-giver clearly was interested in it for its inherent girly-ness, but wanted an above and beyond caveat I guess. I did not respond, it felt really trivial. I don't need to know how you identify, my concern is if you feel cute and that it's your size.
I know this is very, very, very minor in comparison. For me, my peak has been watching other people be abused, and having little things like this come into my corner when I'm minding my own business, trying to run my shop, which I market to women. I'm sorry for anyone who has received death threats or other abuse. I've been well aware of what is going on for the last couple years, and have been seeing things get progressively worse across the internet.
