I didn't hit peak trans until one of THOSE people was encountered in real life. You know, the rainbow haired barely-disguished men in dresses busting for the chance to use women's spaces. The ones that we all convinced ourselves and others were strawmen made up to discredit trans rights.

He latched on to me and decided we were instant friends. He had terrible body odor (fruitlessly covered up by cheap flowery perfume) and spent the entire lesson burping on me and loudly clearing his throat/gargling snot in that loud way that men do. The only indication in dress or otherwise that he identified as a woman was a female name, and rainbow hair. But the last straw was when I quitely stole away in the middle of the lesson to use the toilet without announcing anything, only to return to find him emerging from the ladies restroom to ask where I'd gone (thank god I used another up the stairs). Why would he do that? When classes ended for the day he asked where I lived, and kept bothering me for contact information on social media before I relented and took his phone number.

And then it just hit me like a truck that he was allowed to do all of this with no other requirement other than say he ''felt'' like a woman, and asking to be called a different name. And that he had a penis. And that he was so thoroughly socialized male that he didn't see how any of what he was doing should be uncomfortable or threatening to ''another'' woman.

Yes, I admit that I was selfish enough to see all of you as t-slurs right up until the kind of people you were warning me about actually exist and actually do this stuff.

This just reminded me; at uni, there's one of those "smash the gender binary" male feminists that has decided it's now trans. He doesn't shave the face (because beauty standards are anti feminist, enforced hair removal is sexist, therefore expecting a MALE who is larping as female to shave their beard is anti woman), wears ridiculous and poorly done lipstick (think blues, purples... the sort that need to be done perfect to look good) and embroidered all his jackets to say "she/her". And now that it's a woman, it will happily speak on behalf of women.

That is the problem with the "modern trans" community. They are not "transwoman" anymore, they are "fully woman" or even "better woman". They are going to places where they should not be, and instead of fighting for their own rights, instead of fighting for their own healthcare - they are hijacking someone elses, they are destroying other people rights.

Most transwomen I know and respect are about my age or older, they are 25-30 years already as transwomen, they lived through all the possible hell. And all of them disagree with "modern trans" community and with modern gender/queer theories. They are transwomen for so long, they fought for trans representation, for healthcare for trans, for world acceptance. And then some 18 years old not shaved guy saying "I am real woman and I feel like a woman and you all dont understand what to be trans" to them. It just a clown, not a trans. And worst part, is that those my friends can't speak, if they try - they are claimed "not a trans" or "wrong trans" or sometimes even "terf", if they writing posts to Medium - they are being deleted, if they are making youtube video - trolls coming and bombing videos, so they are giving up.

Wearing dresses or doing lipstic is perfectly fine, and I am sure most female feminists are okay to even call that person "she", but that is not the problem, the problem is that those are just Males who are following the trend and calling themselves "Women" (most of them dont even have gender dysphoria, many of them are just abusing new pro-trans laws to get away with crimes) - are trying to get in a places where they don't belong. And where they can't - they want to destroy those places, and leave no one happy. Problem is not in transwomen, but in self proclaimed trans-identified men and their allies. And, well, in huge money that are swirling around this. And more money would be pumped - the more terrible it will become. And we all know who is controlling 99% of worlds money.

Seems truscum died out. There was an insult for "you believe dysphoria is required".

Yeah, those old boomers, what can they know? They say "at least trying is requied". What a pathetic creatures. /s

(well, it is sarcasm, but something similar was said to one of my friends once)
