Sorry if these poll have been conducted already. I just wonder what the average age of a woman on Ovarit is:)
I'm on the upper end of the 31-40 range, where the largest portion of respondents are. Here's what's interesting to me about that: I grew up in the 90s, went to college in the early 2000s. I literally can't remember a time when I didn't know that gays and lesbians existed (the first wedding I ever attended, before I started school, was a same-sex wedding). I knew people in high school who were openly gay and I've known TIPs since I was in college nearly 20 years ago. As far as "trans rights," I've been groomed for over a generation to believe that trans-ID people are the most oppwessed wittle babies that ever lived, and that anyone who doubts their claims to be the genders they claim to be is an evil bigot. It was also easier to sympathize with TIPs back then, where there were far fewer of them and they all seemed to be making good-faith attempts to at least try to pass. For most of my life, I was a TRA-lite; never literally believed that anyone changes sex, but assumed I was being told the truth that we all absolutely needed to play along and say the slogans or else these innocent victims would all be murdered in bathrooms or succumb to suicide. Today, most people I know are like this, and I mostly have to hide my views in real life. I have decades left in the work force and life would be so much easier if I hadn't peaked. There are tremendous incentives to swallow the gender agenda and tremendous downsides to rejecting it, even privately.
Yet here I am. Over the past few years, I've had several private, hushed conversations with peers who share the same doubts I had when I stood a few meters away from the peak of Mt. Gender. Looking at how the population of gender pretenders has exploded with unhinged bullies who seem to have everything handed to them, this gives me hope for the peaking of young women today once they hit their 30s.
To those women younger than me who have peaked, I have so much respect for you and I pray for your safety and your success every day. Being a young woman is fucking ROUGH no matter what, and the risks of dissenting as a young woman are almost unfathomable. Getting older makes it a little easier, since many people are going to dismiss me as an evil Karen no matter what I do.
I’m hoping there’s more of us in our 20’s that are peaking, and just aren’t saying anything. I wish we could speak up louder and make it known, but given that most of our worlds at this point are online due to a huge surge of use of social media and other online programs as a main social point, there’s the extreme risk that one little thing will get you bombarded with hate, threats, and isolate you from everything and everyone with how relentless TRAs and TIPs are. My public-facing presence is still silent on all gender and trans matters, because I’ll be attacked no matter what I say because I’m “a privileged cis woman”. The last thing I need is TIMs trying to hunt me down, figure out my address and workplace, and try and ruin my life.
Hell, even most people my age or younger don’t know how to post on forums like this, or navigate things beyond short form media like Tik Tok, IG Reels, and Twitter. I don’t mean that in a “I’m smarter and better” sort of way, but more that I’m worried what social media is increasingly doing in silencing women and making them far more vulnerable to those who want to mislead them take away their rights.
Under 20 here. Can't see much hope from my generation, but who knows.
There is hope, @SnowWhite. I think as your generation gets older they will see through the trans bullshit but it's going to take a while before you hold real power. However I also think Milliennials are going to snap very soon. It will have to get worse before it gets better but the tide is already turning. Weirdly I think it's Gen X and Boomers who are most entrenched in gender woo because they don't really understand what's going on and they just think it's gay with extra steps. That's my experience with people I know, anyway. The Millenials I know are mostly secretly horrified at trans demands and are pro women-only spaces and categories. The Gen X and Boomers I know are all "oh I'm super tolerant I don't have any problem with trans people" in a thoughtless, "not my problem" sort of way. But that could just be my circle.

I can really relate to this and have taken basically the same approach as you do. it's better to keep my views on those topics very opaque unless I'm here. because many of us have to keep the tervery very private, it's hard to tell how many other people among our peers might secretly have peaked or at least are having some doubts about trans ideology.
so far, I haven't caught any inklings that someone I know might be peaked or at least skeptical about trans ideology now, but maybe if they're out there, they're keeping their heads down about it too.
I actually find the results a bit surprising! It looks like we're mostly millennials/Gen Z, but I thought there were more Gen X women on here (I'm an older millennial in my late 30's). It's great that so many younger women in their 20's are waking up to the gender cult/pro porn/pro prostitution nonsense pushed on us by "liberal" feminism. This gives me some more hope for the future.
I agree - I thought the results would show a slightly larger portion of users in the over 40s ages, but so far it has a generally bell curve distribution with 40% being age 30s-40 and the next largest percent as age 20s-30 at 26%, which is the age category I'm in.
Looking at the poll now, I've noticed that I forgot to include 20. If you are 20, really sorry about that!
21 to 30 technically. I'm the caboose of the Millennial train, literally just 1-3 years shy of being considered Gen Z.
lurkers will see these results and say "terfs are all middle aged white women" because if you're over 22 you're ancient and WOC don't exist to them
Years ago a TRA told me she was glad people like me were dying out. I was 27.
Makes sense. They're men, so to them women above 20 have "hit the wall". We're all decaying here !
It’s true, my fingers are turning to dust at this very m
Well, it is a well-known fact that at any time after the age of 30, a woman's face can just drop off in the night.
Do they have mirrors
Judging from the selfies they post: they have them, but they never clean them. Maybe mirrors too dirty to properly see your reflection are the key to delusional self-confidence.
lmao wow. I once got called a boomer by men when I was celebrating how they had to show proof of age by uploading an ID to watch porn
Middle aged women have experienced youth and beauty and male attention and make bullshit and seen how fleeting and fickle the attention is, and how horrific the bullshit can be.
We are very scary because we see them for what they are and we have the audacity to call it out.
Yep, it's this. We know male attention is worthless. Less than worthless, it actively degrades women.
And this is why it's so tragic that the wisdom of older Women is discarded and devalued. We know a deep truth and exactly as you say it terrifies the life out of men of ALL ages.
From 16th century witch hunts to 21st century Karens, men have done a good job of demonising older women, trashing their views and alienating younger Women from their true inheritance.
Too true and the combination of female socialization and reproductive drive tends to make us a little blind when we’re young. I wish we could better help young women by getting their blinders off a little earlier so that they could really live for themselves.
Except that it looks to me like we’re skewing kind of young, which makes me so happy. 66% between the ages of 21 and 40. Those are young women.
I thought the same. I was surprised the most populous group is age 20-40.
Tbh, I feel like life only starts in your late twenties. I mean before that I was still figuring out what I wanted
Late 30s for me. That's when I started living for myself and not for an idea of how other people (men, I mean) wanted me to look/act/live.
