I peaked left after peaking trans too. It's been politically pretty rough for GC rad fems especially if you lean left on other political issues.

Biden says VAWA in the same breath as TWAW and I'm like, NAAW.

I am happy to know I am in good company.

I think I'm going through the same peak-left situation currently. Now I'm not about to throw the baby out with the bathwater but I'm deeply uncomfortable with this whole purity of thought, and the ideas that some concepts are beyond the scope of debate. I'm really worried about what the future may hold, although knowing I'm not the only one does help

Agreed.

My issues is that with the right, it's the fight I understand for women's rights. With the left it's bottomless... like, hoisting the trans stuff onto a new generation of young women who will take tens of years to clean up. I'm having trouble deciding which is worse.

I thought that too. With the right, I know my enemy but with the left, I’m backstabbed.

So right now it's 'is the devil you know worse than the devil you don't.'

Someone on spinster insinuated 'hope for a split congress and presidency then use 4 years of gridlock to bide time'
