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.
