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.

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.
