    thats basicly how i fell into it too, someone recommended the GC sub to me on reddit and while i dont do the whole "feminist" movement thing I totally grokked it. it was like finally someone else understands how i feel!! someone else recognizes this is crazy!! im just SO TIRED of woke authoritarian bullying all over the internet. it shouldnt be radical to say basic facts!

    The worst part is I think that authoritarian crap is what puts A LOT of people off actual women's rights. People who otherwise believe in equal rights take one look at the whole carbuncle that is modern "feminisim" and will say "I'm not a feminist," to avoid be lumped with the crazies.

    This. Oh, damn. So many people I know - both men and women - would have identified (heh, the irony...) as feminists just some 5 years ago but now they stay well away from that word. And they also feel like there is no need for feminism anymore, because - and I quote - "now all they talk about is some ladydicks" etc. And it does seem like it, doesn't it? I would agree with them if I had not been a feminist since I was 13yo. This new "woke feminism" has been poisoned by the cancel-culture hive-mind Twitter/tumblr army. I am happy to say I am a feminist once more; only, I will now make the clear distinction that I am a RADICAL feminist (even though the ideas and goals and ideologies in "radical" feminism are hardly radical at all but oh well).

    can we import and save the peak trans threads? really liked those.

    i thought it was great for a safe place for just women to exist on the net. u dont even need to agree w/ every single thing about gen crit fem, i dont think. shame its been taken.

    I'm starting to think that maybe it would be good to set up a website just with all the peak trans stories, because those seem to interest (and peak) LOTS of people.

    I don’t mind writing my peak trans experience again.

    There was so many! And the most telling thing was not a single one was "duuuh I think trans people are dumb and should be killed duuuub" Each post was an example of how our rights as woman are being taken from us, how men are making us feel uncomfortable or harassed and we can't talk about it because it's hidden under this woke blanket of silence!

    I was so blown away when I discovered the concept of peak trans - completely encapsulated my own WTAF-is-going-on awakening.

    Wow crazy, when I subbed I think it only had 20 something thousand. I do think our growth put a big fat target on our back unfortunately.TRAs cannot stand dissenting (logical) opinions simply existing, they dont give a rats ass about conservative rhetoric that vilifies men for being feminine.
