I decided to write out my journey to becoming gender critical, in the hopes that it will help others find their way.

My journey to gender critical had nothing to do with the far right. I was left-wing, I talked almost exclusively to left-wingers, and they (inadvertently) convinced me they had lost the plot. Labeling any dissent "far-right" is a scare tactic to make people fall into line.
The mask has well & truly slipped.
JK Rowling has fallen from someone who people loved and 6 years ago had what she called a ‘middle aged moment’ when she liked a transphobic tweet, to someone who is now outright transphobic.
She’s a symbol of the brainwashing of the far right

JK Rowling was the exact moment I realized something was wrong with this trans ideology. Before that I was nice even though I didn’t agree with some of their stances. But seeing the bullying, death threats, and evil behavior I knew that this is not the right side of history.

Or you could have a culture that transes kids, and blocks the puberty/hormones/growth that would cause natural desistance.

Women should not have to be therapy humans for unhappy men. The idea that the government decides this for them should be of concern.
"Thomas says competing as a woman makes them 'happy,' and that they were 'miserable' competing with the men. But female sports do not exist to serve as group therapy for miserable males."
