   @RadLola Part of my peaking moment was also finding like-minds. I was an intersectional feminist who supported the T, but honestly didn't know any of the details. When I started to hear those details, I was like wait a minute...that's not right. And went searching online.
   
   When I found something called "gender critical" and read what they had to say, they were basically saying what my common sense had been starting to tell me, in a much more articulate way.
   
   I look at gender critical(ness?) as coming natural to me. I already agreed with it, before I ever discovered it. If that makes sense. The trans stuff was forced. I wanted to make it work, because I was told it was feminist. But that didn't last long. It all ended when I started learning about what gender ideology really was.

     @FemaleIsNotAFeeling I was writing a long post but to sum it up it was when I first read about radical feminism in adolescence that I was introduced to gender criticism, after doing an internet search for feminism and going through the wikipedia pages of different strands of feminism. Before that I was a kid, never reflected on that and I thought gender was synonym with sex. I remember liking/relating to the things said in the radfem page much more than I did in the others. "Oh this makes sense". Then I never thought of it for a while but I think not long after I came across a video of Magdalen Berns and this was when I started reflecting about the subject of gender and femaleness
