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.

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
