I was the same! There was an artical in the papers years ago about how a "brave tra stood up against an evil hate shouting trf and punched her" At first I was all "yeah take down the person yelling hate" Then I actually read the article the "trf" was a tiny old woman maybe in her 60s or 70s and she was simply saying biology is real. The brave "woman" who hit her was an obvious male, 6 foot plus in his 20s with muscles.

That was my peak and it lead me to gc on reddit and I've not stopped reading since.

It wasn’t my first peak but one of the most chilling later-peak moments was watching videos of the protests against Megan Murphy and Jenn Smith. Anyway, the crowds protesting were full of the most cringey infuriating men I’ve seen outside of a Trump rally. Honestly might’ve surpassed that even. Smug, threatening, neck muscles bulging from screaming testosterone in a 6ft package.. Nothing inspiring or brave to be seen in the protesting crowds, just men shouting hate at women who wanted to talk amongst themselves, and doing everything in their power to silence an actual trans person who doesn’t buy their bullshit.

It was the creepiest cult vibe I’ve seen from a protest.

Edited after I found his name.
