Thousands of people shared their Peak Trans stories on r/GenderCritical before trans activists managed to pressure Reddit into censoring us. If you shared there before, please share again.
Many of us accepted the claims of trans activists, wanting to be tolerant and kind, until we really listened to what they were saying and compared it to our own knowledge and experience.
Can "woman" be just an identity, divorced from biology? Can penises be female? Can men give birth? Do trans women really have periods?
Is it fair for males to compete with girls and women in women's sports?
Should people be forced to "accept" that trans women are women, and be compelled to say so? Should people really be censored for disagreeing, or saying anything contrary about it?
Should women be called "cis women" even when they don't identify with sexist gender roles, just because they aren't trans? Doesn't the claim that gender is some kind of natural, inborn psychological phenomenon contradict decades of feminists saying gender is a limiting social construct that is forced on us by society?
Should girls who don't like dolls or dresses be treated with double mastectomies and lifelong hormones? Should we be cavalier about prescribing puberty blockers to children when they can cause life-long health problems?
Should women be shamed as trans-exclusionary for talking about our reproductive health and anatomy? Are "pussy hats" transphobic?
Is it acceptable for lesbians to be bullied for not wanting to have relationships with trans women? Doesn't the struggle against the "cotton ceiling" contradict everything we've been saying about enthusiastic consent and rape culture?
Should women be denied the option of not seeing a penis in a women's shower room? Is it really transphobia that makes women alarmed at seeing males in women-only spaces? Is it actually transphobic for women to not want trans women in women-only rape crisis centers, domestic violence shelters, or prisons?
Should women never be allowed to exclude males from any women's spaces, groups, or events? Are people who disagree with what trans activists say really all "trans exclusionary radical feminists" or "TERFs," even when they aren't feminists or trans-exclusionary?
Many of us called this “peak trans”—that moment when you realize “trans rights” are not really about supporting a marginalized population, but about undermining the rights of girls and women and bullying people into accepting transgender ideology. –Thistle Peterson: How I Became the Most Hated Folk Singer in Madison

It has very low rating on Goodreads, lots of one star ratings without any comment. Quite inexplicable /s.
I will read it and leave a good review (I am sure it will be well deserved, based on the previous “The abolition of sex”).
I recently read that Goodreads is has been overtaken by overly partisan cultural activists. It's too bad, I used to find it to be useful and balanced.
Yeah, Goodreads is a shit show. Handmaidens and wannabe activists just mass down vote any book/author that doesn't go along with their trendy politics
Funny.. it has excellent ratings on Amazon with extensive user reviews.
I assume Amazon only lets buyers of the product review?
Yes. Amazon only let's you review a product if you actually bought it from them. It helps prevent spam reviews
I'll have to buy this when I have spare time! I'm looking forward to seeing her examine this subject in depth
It is a comprehensive account. Her message is “You were told, you knew, and here’s the proof.”
