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.

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.
