Was part of an online group themed around something nerdy, I really loved the group and the content they produced. I joined and soon noticed that more and more of them were coming out as transwomen. I saw the social contagion happen in real time over the course of a couple of months. I had originally supported trans people, but I started being irked when I saw these men, who seemed to never have spoken with a real female, claim that they were now 'women.'

I was once at a public event with them and there was a Q&A where they were asked whether there were any women in the group, and a TiM perked up and was like 'OH ME' and then they pointed to 2 or 3 other TiMs in the group. I was the only real woman there, and I wasn't pointed out.

Soon I started experiencing blatant misogyny from the members of the group, and when I pointed out the mental illnesses and sexism prominent among the TiMs and the fact that I was the only biological woman in the group, they attacked me and tried to destroy my reputation and called me a 'TERF.' I had never heard of that term before, but I left there and discovered GenderCritical :)

I don't trust TiMs anymore, and I don't trust autistic men either. The internet is filled with a lot of sick people who love to bully others. I've moved onto better things in my life now.
