Hello. I'm sorry your reddit community got the axe as well. I'm not trans or detrans, but I am grateful your community exists to help those who are. What an Orwellian shithole reddit has become.

I peaked a few years ago (not sure if I ever really accepted the movement to begin with, to be honest). The first time I peaked was hearing about transwomen participating in women's sports and receiving scholarships designated for women. Before that, I just kind of accepted it as "well, if they want to suffer as we do, why not?" I didn't realize there could actually be consequences to this train of thought.

I've peaked many more times since then, including hearing about children being trans and parents assisting them with transition, watching I am Jazz to try and understand (didn't work and honestly made it seem even more like abuse), hearing about people suggesting to children that liking "feminine" or "masculine" things may actually mean they're trans, reading about women being removed from rape shelters because they were made uncomfortable by someone who was born male (male was prioritized in a female rape shelter), witnessing the blind acceptance of this movement that's supposed to be about love and acceptance, but then finding that they're more hateful than a lot of actual transphobes I've met.

I'm tired of hearing how transwomen's lives are harder than my own as someone who was born a woman. I'm tired of children learning to consider that they may be a different gender rather than just having preferences that were traditionally assigned to another gender. I'm tired of every single feminist topic being co-opted by the trans movement. I'm tired of them making EVERYTHING about trans rights (i.e. those BLM profile pics that say Black TRANS Lives Matter and any other instances where it wasn't about them or they were assumed to be included, but felt the need to bring attention to themselves).

I would literally describe myself as a "more liberal" person, but I'm finding it harder and harder to do that knowing that so many far left liberals are censoring "wrongthink". I can't believe we got to this point where even Reddit wasn't a place to discuss purely feminist issues. Pay no mind to the subreddits that glamorize and fetish the rape and abuse of women and children, but if you say a negative thing about a man in a dress who claims to be more oppressed and expects you to agree with every delusion, YOU are the bigot here. Why can't women have a subreddit that doesn't include people born with penises? That's one of the least feminist things I've ever fucking heard. Why is that bigotry, but fetishizing the oppression and abuse of women is not?

FUCK the trans movement, and not in the way they want us to.
