OPPRESSED_REPTILIAN

I'd rather not use GC terminology. Again, associating with radfems is going to damage any good we try to do. It's like fighting against animal abuse by siding with PETA or trying to support single mothers by siding with the#BossBabe MLM facebook psuedoscientists. People are not gonna empathize with any rational or legitimate reasoning (such as TRAs being homophobic or toxic) when you're siding with an organization that is equally destructive. I have made so much personal progress by opening up people to new ideas & getting them to see the destructive reality of the LGBT+ by not associating myself with anything radfem/gender critical and going it alone. The minute you start putting labels on, or using their coded terminology which is rarely seen outside of their spaces, people will automatically reject whatever you say because it's a "terf thing" and they have a kneejerk reaction to radical feminists. Which isn't unreasonable, imo, even if most people dislike radfems for entirely different reasons like "transphobia" than the reason I can't get along with them.

Weird terminology anyway. If you're constantly "peaking" it's not a peak, is it? Just call it what it is - TRAs being stupid. I'm also still surprised that some of you guys are surprised by things like Eddie Izzard or whatever. Another male announced he's a "lesbian", truly shocking, not like we haven't seen that five hundred times before. Sorry if that comes off as rude, I'm just very cynical and bitter because... given the state of the world, nothing bizarre, insane or offensive comes as a shock anymore.

To answer the question, I don't "peak". I haven't ever thought there was a shred of legitimacy in transgender ideology since I was... maybe 12 years old? And that was only because I was raised with the belief that whatever adults say is true and that if you question it, you're misbehaving. I was told people can change from male to female, so I blindly believed it. As I got older and independent, though, I realized this was simply not the case.

I got into radical feminism briefly as a late teen/young adult, partly because they were the only vocal group speaking up against transgenderism, porn etc, and because I really fucking hated men because of what I experienced in my life. But since I too am male, radfems hated me and were quick to point their hatred towards me too. I am GNC, intersex, and didn't go through "male socialization" or identify with toxic masculinity, so I thought I'd be more safe among a female-dominated community than a male one - but it turns out they fucking hate intersex people with a passion, because we're, in their eyes, just the same as trans people and apparently me being a GNC/intersex male means I'm "a fetishist appropriating women" even though I was born like this, and never chose to be this way. But meanwhile they worship self proclaimed "Homosexual transsexual" fetishists who get off on being feminized because they think being attracted to men makes them less of a man, or not a man at all, for some reason.

I "peak radfem" then. I also "peak leftist" earlier this year and detached myself from left-leaning ideology. I "peak LGBT" earlier this year and decided I don't support a unified LGBT, and I think even the gay "movement" has a lot of problems it needs to address, especially regarding discrimination, and I believe that removing the T isn't a magic cure-all, especially if gay male spaces continue to hold toxic, discriminatory ideals (And I mean actually discriminatory, not "boohoo they won't fuck a woman" - it's incredibly common to see men bully eachother among gay male places for some reason)

And weirdest of all is that, while I'm trying to avoid it, I think I might go full circle. Part of me wants to adopt some stupid "nonbinary" label or something just so people leave me alone and/or I get tons of benefits I couldn't normally access.
