(This is a disorganized mess of ramblings, like all my posts)
I was first exposed to transgenderism as a young teen. To put it out there, the first thing I had ever heard of these people was from my parents. "Men think they can become women, and women think they can become men, lol retards." I think even without them openly disliking transsexuals, I would have peaked anyway. The very first I had exposure to online were FtMs probably about my age. I remember specifically seeing a youtube video, narrated with an obvious female voice, talking about how she was made fun of in school for liking sports. This girl immediately decided to be transgender. My reaction was "So these are just tomboys? That's dumb, tomboys are cool." The FtMs I knew personally were thanks to the yansim community (I deserve any autism ratings). They were pretentious at best, and annoying at worst. Both of the notable ones I'm thinking of were "non-binary" before deciding to be boys. Their interests were more stereotypically feminine than mine, and both had huge fetishes for yaoi, so there you go. At one point, I read a short story by an FtM. I noted that it had that overdramatic and whiny writing style that women tend towards. The more notable parts of it were her mentioning how she liked being around boys more than girls, and hated stuff like wearing bras and having a period. Again, I thought, "This is literally a tomboy, and that's pretty normal stuff". Also the name she picked was Tommy. Fucking Tommy. Not Thomas, some oldass 50s heartbreaker faggot Tommy. I could never understand this stuff, and I believe that's for the best. I've always been pretty self-confident about my personality and looks, and a common thread that linked FtMs and NBs to me were that they just had personalities that weren't hyperfeminine. During that time of my life, I was also pretty openly against stuff like the beauty industry, and stereotypes, and therefore didn't see this kind of stuff as any different. Diversity of personalities is part of what makes life interesting, and trying to mold people into being something they're not has always seemed cruel to me. Anywho, I continued just generally disliking them throughout the years, but I think COVID ended up doing something to people, where it turned normies into raging Tumblr activists overnight. Soon everything had to be activism... vaccines, BLM, trannies, etc. Like many people on this thread, I wouldn't say that I necessarily had one peak, more like several that just keep coming. I think my first biggest one was the sheer rage that the superstraight movement induced. Straight men and women, gay men and women, and bi men and women were sick and tired of being told they had to fuck these gross sexless cretins, and they stood up for themselves. I was on r/TumblrInAction at the time, and it was being targeted big-time for shit-talking trannies, as many other subreddits were. r/againsthatesubreddits featured many posts from TiA, fairly innocuous ones, and the trannies in AHS acted so rapey in the comments. "Maybe someday he'll learn that there's more to the vagina than the vulva. Hopefully he doesn't accidentally lose his virginity to a trans girl." (yes, they did fuck up their anatomy terms like that). Not to mention, you had these handmaiden/errand boys who weren't even trans trying to shame people for their god-given sexuality. It was clear that most of them were Zoomers who had no fucking clue what transgender people were actually like, they would often come up with these scenarios where some normal dude met an irresistibly hot woman in a bar, took her home to sex her, and the morning after, she reveals that she's transgender. Any sane person knew that was bullshit, because MtFs don't pass, and they would tell them so. I also remember seeing a lot of stuff online where subhumans would threaten physically harm people who dared question their shit. Anyone remember "There are men with vaginas, women with penises, and transphobes without teeth"? Great look for y'all. I think my most recent, and current peak is the acceptance of trannies being allowed to groom or blatantly talk about wanting to perform sexual acts with children. It was bad enough when LaBelle's shit got OK'd, and it was bad enough when Cuties got OK'd, and now trannies are acting like people's children are theirs to sterilize and traumatize. I almost hate their simps more than I hate them, they're enablers for the severely mentally ill.
I think I deserve MATI ratings, but I feel a lot better being able to talk about it, and I'm very happy that there's pushbacks in certain states as well as European countries. The pendulum is swinging back, stay strong everyone, let's keep it going in the right direction.
