The strong point of QT ideology is also its biggest weakness as far as I am concerned: they appeal to feelings and use guilt and fear to "convince" people that they are right.

It works... until people actually start thinking or have had enough, and by then they realize what is being said makes zero sense whatsoever (and are unable to unsee it no matter how much they might try).

This absolutely. Most non- LGBT TRAs I know are women who have fallen for the emotional side of it. I think there’s a fair few GC people (particularly the younger GC peeps here) who either supported QT or just didn’t engage with either side because surely TWAW/TMAM and all that goes with it is just being kind. Then you peak- you see something that cannot be ignored (sports, the VRR incident, e.g) and you don’t care about being kind because the other side have zero interest about being kind to women. Then you start thinking logically, and then the QT you’ve built in your head crumbles.

Thanks! Was my Twitter handle before I binned off that misogynistic hellsite.

Welcome to the sub! Saidit is much better than Twitter. We have some actual free speech here.
