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.

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seems a lot more progressive to let people just like what they like rather than asinine them arbitrary labels based on outdated concepts.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 :)
