What peak transed you

I know this has probably been done to death, not sure if there is another thread somewhere, but briefly, what was it that peak transed you? I don't mean long philosophical essays, but was there something or a specific incident which suddenly made that lightbulb switch on?

Firstly Jenner getting woman of the year in OUR centenary year. Then I went stratospheric with the cotton ceiling. I just keep fuming about every new appropropriation. But worse they appropriate the things we can no longer name.

International Olympic Committee deciding that all that’s needed to complete against women is one year ‘living as a woman’ and testosterone down to a level that’s still 3 times more than a woman will have.

Me too, hamilton. Prior to that, I had been completely, unthinkingly pro-trans. I would scold people for their "transphobia" and think myself very fine indeed for being such a champion of diversity.

Then I watched a former Olympic decathlon champion be given an award for women and said "hang on, there was not then, and is not even now a women's decathlon event, what fuckery is this?".

Then Caitlyn made the remarks about getting dressed and all I could hear was the resounding clanging noise of scales dropping from my eyes Grin. No way back.

The realisation that a Trans identifying man, that putting photos on Mumsnet, asking how he looked, was a AGP. Good grief! I was so innocent and couldn’t understand why some of the other posters were such ‘transphobes’. I’m cringing, thinking about it.

This article which was replicated on Crimewatch and in other papers.

This is a man, a convicted rapist who was on the run. But respecting his gender identity was more important than clear, factual information that could help to apprehend a dangerous criminal. So we ended up with this shit show- woman who may be dressed as a man ( as clearly hoodie and trousers are men's clothes, I apparently cross dressed today). Would be funny if we weren't talking about a violent serial sex offender.

Initially the sports issue

When I came across some of the sickos on twitter who claim to be trans, but clearly aren’t, yet demand access to women’s spaces. Coz they are a woman.
The aggression & disrespect for women pushed me over the edge.

Caitlin Jenner - "the most difficult thing about being a woman is deciding what to wear".
