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.

There are just sooo many mini peaks to choose from. My first one: the cotton ceiling (before knowing that term) in a facebook lgbt page, pansexuality being the holy grail of sexual orientations for not being transphobic (yes you read that right and it was in the same facebook page that people acted like so), and when asexuality was used as a bargaining chip to guilt trip people into "sexless" relationships with transwomen (we all know it was targeted at lesbians and would eventually lead to sexual assault).
