I was a lurker on GC, never posted. I peaked around 2014 when I was neck-deep in SJW ideology during my tumblr days and even got swept along briefly. I eventually realized that they were actually upholding the binary they claimed to be dismantling (by insisting you feel more like a girl when you wear dresses and makeup, etc). I was shut down for that wrong-think immediately and that reaction alone made me begin to question every facet of gender identity and its involvement/implication on other social movements. I began studying feminist theory and strongly identified as a radical feminist for awhile but honestly over the years I have grown very, very wary of ALL ideology and consider myself simply a discerning and compassionate humanitarian. But my passion for honoring biological womanhood has only strengthened over the years as I grew in my spiritual practice as an eclectic/non-traditional witch. Re-peaked briefly when I realized that men were trying to call themselves witches despite how fucked up that is in historical context. That make my blood boil. Re-peaked yet again when I began my training as a birth doula and realized that the birth community is being overtaken by libfems trying to enforce dehumanizing and reductive language, ie: Birthing people (NOT women). Chest feeding (NOT breast feeding). This REALLY makes my blood boil and I can't voice my concerns for fear of being ostracized by the birth community and never finding clients. Re-peaked again with JK Rowling and banning GC was the last straw. I'm here to stay because I NEED this community or I will lose my damn mind in this illogical, chaotic world.
