I hope this doesn't sound flippant because it is my honest, experience-informed answer: the best way to peak people is to give them permission to be politically incorrect. Demonstrate to them that you are someone safe to tell the truth around. They will eventually (or maybe quickly) let themselves use their powers of observation and reasoning, which is all it takes to falsify the trans web of lies.

I find pointing out women will have no ability to request a female only doctor without fear of backlash and hatred tends to drive the point home to a lot of people.

Mine is listening to trans people.

I do not make any effort to curate. I aim people at public, mainstream trans forums, at content that trans organizations produce, and at the stories that trans people hold up as great examples of "trans voices."

Trans people peak normies, because the whole concept of trans is now a creepy religion that most people don't find appealing in any way.

Women's sports is my go to, it's backed by a mountain of data about why SEX MATTERS. You'll get hit with the classic TWAW or (my favorite false analogy) about racial segregation from the activists, but most normies know there's something rotten in the state of Denmark when it comes to women's sports. It's my entrance point to other issues like women's prisons and the sexual mutilation and chemical castration of children (so-called "gender affirming" care). In my experience, it's become a lot easier to talk about these issues in recent years because more people are gaining awareness of the harms of gender ideology.

Most common response I get: Be Kind!!!!1 which is easily dismantled by reminding people that gender self-id is not very kind to women

Most TIMS are heterosexual and 85% + keep their penises. "You will be undressing with a heterosexual man with a fetish. That's it."

and

Child detransitioners.

Nothing. It doesn’t matter what I say. The response is always either “that’s a right wing conspiracy theory!” , “those poor trans women. Have some empathy!” , or “why do you even care?”

For me it's transbians.

At first I thought it was an online phenomenon. Then I met one at work... It's the most uncanny creature that I've ever met.

Im not ever trying to "peak" people. The entire concept just sounds like trying to drag someone from one cult to another and i never cared for this language. If the subject comes up, I discuss the apparent sexism and homophobia upholding the ideology as well as the complete lack of logic behind all of their reasoning. I dont ever talk about it with the express intent to change someone's mind, i just say my opinions about the subject like i would with anything else. If they decide they want to have a friendly debate, that's fine by me and we engage.

I would say that virtually every single conversation I've had with someone about this, they said I was right. So either they agreed before or I changed their minds about it. But like I said, I'm not trying to convince people. I just thought about it critically and it seems like when people see someone else just thinking about it critically without being concerned about coming across like some kind of perfect "progressive" or not giving a shit if someone calls me a heathen for caring about logic, sexism and homophobia, they realize they, too, are actually allowed to have their own opinions and think about things logically and no, they're not evil for it. Especially when they can recognize that my thoughts don't come from some right wing nut place but come from genuine concern about using your brain and social issues we've been dealing with for centuries.

I usually bring up transbians and point out how homophobic genderism actually is. No one has been able to prove me wrong yet. Everything about genderism is inherently hateful toward lesbians.

That said, I don't normally engage people about genderism unless I have to. It feels too dangerous for me. I've already lost my entire community to this idiocy (LGBT center in my town). I don't need to lose what precious little I have left in my life.

My therapist is a captured lesbian and I'm afraid she'll find out I'm a TERF. I want to argue with her but I need to maintain a relationship with her for my mental healthcare. It's maddening.

For me the answer is “other.” Every time I manage to make a woman friend, she moves far, far away, which means most of my friends are men. And I’ve found the best way to peak men is to bring up TIMS in women’s sports. This is despite the fact that most of my male friends are into board gaming and don’t watch sports. But they can clue right in on the complete unfairness that is to women. From there I’ll bring up autogynophilia and the fact that almost all TIMs are straight. If they aren’t through hearing me rant, I might bring up how they’re doing this to kids due to homophobia.

Other: I talk about my personal experience with my TIM AGP ex husband and his raging porn addiction and preference for underage girls.

I was totally pro-trans before because I was truly ignorant and thought, well, I don't understand gender dysphoria and frankly some TIMs are really unsettling for reasons I can't quite articulate, but who am I to question the lived experience or these poor tortured souls who say transitioning literally saved their lives?

Wasn't until I saw how the sausage was made with my ex, so to speak, and now I feel like an idiot for ever having fallen for that nonsense. The misogynistic and fetishistic aspect of it is so glaringly obvious to me now, and my ex is no different than any random perv on /r/MtF

I don't generally bring the subject up because it is hard not to sound like a loon if you constantly bang on about it, but if it does come up, I speak about it mildly but using the basic, common language that everyone used to. I do not use: cis, trans, reassignment, sex change, identify as, gender identity, natal sex, etc. If someone relies heavily on such terms I ask if they can replace each term with a simple phrase to help me understand what they mean. Then I keep asking questions to clarify. It's kind of feigning ignorance of the politics and the culture and framing it as them doing you a favour by explaining it in simple English. Often this is enough to reveal how nonsensical the arguments are

I just point out how shoddy the science around transition is. If you actually take a look at the data, it's hard to come to any other conclusion than that transition is dangerous, unevidenced, irreversible, does not lead to reductions in suicidality, does not lead to good health outcomes, and is pushed onto children without thorough diagnosis. And you can point out that transition doesn't substantially affect male physical advantages (or other traits) to justify protecting women's sports, bathrooms and prisons, etc.

Basically, I tell them that I think adults should be able to do what they want with their own bodies, and that trans "women" may need their own spaces separate from men, but that children shouldn't be allowed to undergo transition and that women's spaces need to remain female-only.

I just had this convo with my grandparents (they're very liberal, generally) and it went pretty well!

The Staniland Question peaked my extremely liberal progressive husband.

Talking about the sports thing seems to be the way to go, even a lot of the tra's secretly think it's unreasonable

Okay, so this might sound weird, but mine is literally 'the concept of gender identity is fundamentally dubious'. As in, the core idea of gender identity , not norms, not social-construct, but as a supposed innate neurological characteristic is unfounded.

IDK, I might bring up detransitioners in service of that point, and relatedly the massive increase in trans identification amongst specifically female teenagers, but fundamentally, the concept of 'gender identity' is just invalid on the face of it. It has not be robustly demonstrated as a consistent human characteristic, as distinct from sex.

Most TRA claims rest on the fundamental belief that 'gender identity' is real, as in, a real trait that all people have and can never change (if people detransition, they were supposedly never trans in the first place) and has always existed. Despite that claim coming from literally nowhere credible (unless you call the post-modern ramblings of somebody like Judith Butler credible). I'm not attacking anyone or making moral judgements about people when I say that (well, except maybe of Judith Butler...).

It might sound overly cerebral, but if 'gender identity' is just a cultural idea, not an innate trait, then 'trans' is a mental health issue subject to social contagion. This has all sorts of downstream policy and social implications, which is why TRAs try so hard to refute it. One, for example, is that we shouldn't give 12 year olds life altering drugs for something they would likely have otherwise grown out of.

For me, the issue with most of the other arguments is that they sound bigoted. They aren't necessarily (depending on what exactly it is you say), but all TIPs are not pedos and rapists, and making arguments around the point makes it seem like you're saying all TIPs are pedos and rapists. Even if that were to sway people, I'm not sure I want to have that influence.

I think I’ve only peaked one person (my sister) but I have made some people go from fully supportive to questioning a bit with transbians and TIM sex offenders. A lot of straight people I know seem shocked if I’m not fully supportive of trans rights because I’m a lesbian, so part of the LGBTQ+ in their minds, but when I simply ask if they think I should be forced to accept dick just because it’s attached to someone who says they’re a woman then they’re very clearly against that. TIM sex offenders tend to help with making most women see things differently as a lot don’t realise just how degenerate these men are. They often see them as no threat but statistics and actual examples can help. I’ve definitely still had women think these are fringe examples and “not true trans” though.

I’ve had the best luck with pediatric gender medicine. I think it’s because most people’s reaction to learning about pediatric gender medicine for the first time is “but they’re just kids, what if they change their minds?”, and then a TRA tells them it’s totally fine, no one every changes their mind about this!” So telling the not-yet-peaked that most kids with gender dysphoria outgrow it is basically telling them “your first instinct was correct.”

As for adult transitioners—trying to explain autogynephilia and transbians has gotten me nowhere. But telling the not-yet-peaked that most TIMs keep their penises has been pretty impactful. A lot of their support for TIMs in women’s spaces hinges on the unconscious assumption that these men are penis-free.

Honestly I don't bother with the extreme tra types. They're so far in the Kool aid it doesn't matter what you say. They'll think lesbians are bigots and cHiLdReN wiLL DiE without "care" and well those women are in prison who cares about them?

But normal people who are on the fence and still just think they want to go to the right bathroom? Usually the children thing, like how schools are encouraging kids to trans and lie to their parents. Most parents get extremely pissed when people keep stuff from them about their children and try to do their parenting for them. Followed up by all the boys in showers and the sexual assault that happen because of it. Having specific names help, too. So they can't just be like "well that doesn't actually happen."

Names and dates, prove to them they did.

Sports.

The best peaking material has been them actually interacting with AGPs more than whatever I could do. They generally don't believe me until they get ma'am-ed.

I tell people about the colonization TIMs like to do of lesbian dating apps and reddit, and how it is not a bug but a feature of maleness. They seem to not believe what I am saying at first or dismiss it as irrelevant. When I tell them single-sex spaces cannot exist anymore in a solid portion of the Western world, they also react with disbelief and that’s where I present them to Tickle vs Giggle.

If they still have doubts on the kind of people we’re dealing with, a quick scroll on lesbianfashionadvice seems to open their eyes as to the real nature of the people we’re talking about.

They’re also way into the genderwoo with the pronouns and I explain to them how I as a lesbian suffer from this and the satisfaction they see in a gay person agreeing with this says a lot.

i like the gradual approach of moving someone from TRA ideology ➡️ transmedical/truscum ideology ➡️ gender critical feminism. that’s how i did it.

most transmedical TIPs are against the sports thing, and transing children, and the “gender soul” thing cause they consider being trans a medical condition. they acknowledge sex as unchanging, usually. (the blaire white and buck angel types, what some people call “the good TIPs” cause they’re more tolerable.)

then, after someone is comfortable with the idea of disagreeing with SOME parts of the TQ+ movement, you can introduce them to the rest of it — and show them the most horrific things like the fetishism and homophobia of most TIPs, housing TIMs with women in prison, and the medical malpractice surrounding the whole industry.

I have some woke friends who genuinely want to make the world better, so they'll volunteer with homeless people, women's shelter, etc. Women's shelters are some of TIMs' favourite targets, all I do is mention how TRAs behave like males when they vandalize or leave dead animals nailed to the door, or use their own piss as weapons at rallies. TIMs do the peaking all by themselves.

Sadly not on the list. I literay just use AGPs to peak people. The second they question any TiP, they question ALL of them.

Told a few people about ‘transbians’ and it’s always met with mirth or anger

What do you do if they don’t believe most TIMs are hetero? Is there research you can cite?

Not in your poll, but by far the easiest way to peak someone is by talking about women and girls' sports and the blatant cheating that trans-identified males are being empowered to do by sports authorities, coaches, and their schools. Just showing them this video is enough to elicit agreement that males, regardless of how they identify, shouldn't compete it a category that is specifically established to exclude male advantage.

From there it's easy enough to bring down the whole house of cards that is gender ideology. The key question to ask is why are we privileging the feelings of a male over the rights of females.

Not just "TIM sex offenders" but all opportunistic sex offenders who claim to be trans whether they are or not, and specifically, the data that shows men who pretend to be women are just as dangerous as all other men. I point out that the issue isn't 'bigotry' it is the fact that nobody (judge/politician/bureacrat) has the authority make sexual consent decisions on our behalf about who gets to see us naked. I ask them to think about why voyeurism is prosecuted as a sex crime and why single-sex spaces are necessary in the first place. I also point out doctors/scientists learned about the Y chromosome since 1905 so when they developed cosmetic surgery on genitals they were lying when they called it a "sex change operation."

In America's supremely selfish society this seems to be what Peaks people the most: TIM perversions that directly involve them.

Sigh yeah. In general in my life, when I've tried to complain about or change something, the response from my peers has been, "but this doesn't affect you personally. Why don't you mind your own business?"

This isn't just trans stuff but housing affordability stuff and laws broken, etc...

Telling them to do as the TRAs say and 'educate themselves'. It peaked me. Trying to learn from them about why I was wrong to believe sex mattered. It's their own fucking madness and grossness that does it.

I find most women agree when they know the person they are talking to is gender critical and won't go running off shaking and crying if they hear the genocidal crime that is misgendering taking place.

This particular article is quite good at peaking those who have seeds of doubt already planted: https://www.transgendertrend.com/childhood-social-transition/

Another one could be, most TIM do not have dysphoria at all, the vast majority happily keep their penis.

For me personally, knowing about the fetish was a game changer. It completely reframes the whole subject away from ''poor mentally ill person struggling just to get through their day'' to the reality that we're dealing with. In that sense, I think awareness that this is a fetish, is a good thing.

Steph-on-knee

As far as I know I've not peaked anyone. If anyone changed their minds around me they did it quietly and without a fuss. I have had minor success in triggering shock and contemplation in some politically correct followers of trans ideology by mentioning some of the butchery done to "affirm gender". They had nothing to say to refute that aspect, I suppose because it's less a critique of the "poor, downtrodden, gender-dysphoric trans person" and more a reflection of the barbarism of the medical field that chases profits and advancement at the cost of human flesh (and countless amounts of dollars).
