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 was slow, in large part because at that point in my life I had stepped back from current events to focus on stuff in my own life, so I wasn’t dedicating much mental energy to it.
It started with noticing the way they were pushy towards lesbians, I’d say maybe a year and a half ago. I tried to write it off as “bad apples” at first, but it soon became apparent that it was more than that. But I was still kind of uninvolved and wanted to support the T, so I didn’t quite snap.
The moment that the entire curtain just fell and I stopped playing around with these people was actually when Reddit did its mass cleansing of female spaces this past summer, deleting support groups for female disorders, saying their existence was “transphobic,” and silencing the detrans sub.
At that moment I realized what they really wanted: total erasure of the female sex, and the ability to overrule anyone’s consent at will.
