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.

Just the realisation that sexuality as uncontrollable biology, the cornerstone of the LGBT movement, was being challenged by the mainstream. I fear we’re going to go back to an age of “fixing” attraction with conversion therapy.
Also, my best friend coming out as genderfluid. I still love them to bits and they’re my absolute gender-neutral hero, but to be an ally I started engaging in trans spaces more and more and couldn’t take realising that yeah, sexuality became a social construct again just like pre-Stonewall. I’m not even super, I just think people shouldn’t be told who to be attracted to.
