It's a great feeling. Thanks for sharing. The more women show courage, the more contagious courage will become.

Sure, I lost one friend...but I peaked three others. I can no longer stand by while TRAs mount an assault on my right to exist in peace and security.

I realized that peaking people is a skill I actually needed to practice and develop. Sure, the violent, hateful behaviour of trans-activists does most of the work, but getting people there by asking the right open and closed ended questions was important, as was nudging the conversation to a point where well-meaning but poorly informed people have to confront what they're defending. A lot of people aren't aware they're defending men who literally raped babies and todddlers and are now shoving their way into women's prisons.

"You mean those people with the pink and blue baseball bats and axes who say they're going to smash women's heads?" "You mean those people who keep spray painting death threats on rape shelters?" "Are you talking about those people who think it's hateful for women to have to ovarian cancer support groups without men in them? You think that's hateful?!"

Thank you, for your courage. Peaking others may not be easy but it does clear up many things in our relationships.

Wohoo! Terfing merrily sounds like a great hobby. Mind giving some useful hints? I tend to go into a full-on rage mode when I try to speak about issues that are close to heart and... Let me tell ya, it rarely works. Any conversation starters etc. that don't come across as super aggressive? Nothing against being an aggressive woman btw - it's just that I literally go a bit too far. Shouting my opinion at others sounds terribly TRA. I prefer a coherent and fact-based discussion.

I for once like to use the "OMG, do you know what I have heard about...." phrase now and again. In showing disbelief I may prime their response to TRA behavior. I never start raging at the beginning only if they give me a hint they feel the injustice during our convo. I like to do these talks when the person I'm talking to is in a good mood OR when he/she is in an absolutely foul mood because other people have slighted them - when their sense of justice is already triggered, so they might be more sensible to injustice against others. Well, those are some of my tactics. They may apply to others or not. I just hope we won't stop with our fight for women.

This is always so good to hear! Keep spreading the word! It's hard to ignore the absurdity and toxicity of their movement once it's been brought to light. It just doesn't hold under scrutiny, it breaks down when one asks the simplest questions.

We are all indeed, wee terven beasties, aye. Now let's wait for Mel Gibson to make a movie about this. I honestly don't have a clue which side he'd pick (and misinterpret, heh).

As a thought-contagion, anger is the fastest transmitter (I’ve read/seen somewhere) 😊 I’m having an easy time convincing my friends to be GC, but a faster spread of the idea is hard for me when I’m too gentle by nature lol

Huzzah! Yeah I have a few dudefriends who are peaking over a few things that have happened recently (JK Rowling, Graham Linehan being banned)
