5 Peachy Posts Worth Revisiting from 2025
A year of writing at the intersection of womanhood, policy, and reality.
As 2025 comes to a close, I wanted to pause and look back at a year of writing that was often uncomfortable—but necessary. Some pieces reached wide audiences. Others found their way to a smaller circle. All of them were written in good faith and grounded in material reality, even when the conclusions weren’t easy or popular.
If you’re new here—or if you missed a few posts in the blur of the year—these are five worth revisiting as we head into 2026.
I shared a similar year-end reflection last January. If you’re curious how my thinking—and the broader landscape—shifted from 2024 to 2025, you can revisit last year’s post here.

The Trap of Trans Activist Victimhood: Why Some Never Wake Up
The battle over gender ideology is often only framed as a legislative or legal fight but laws alone won’t dismantle the deep-seated victimhood narrative that fuels the movement. As wisely noted by Kaeley Triller Harms:
This piece reached the widest audience in 2025, likely because it put words to something many people have sensed but struggled to articulate: that gender ideology is sustained less by evidence than by a carefully protected sense of victimhood. It explored why self-correction can be so rare—even in the face of clear harm—and why women and children often absorb the consequences.

From Representation to Erasure: Black Women Once Again Used to Prop Up Transgenderism
On International Women’s Day, we honor women’s struggles, strength, and achievements. But we must also face the forces trying to redefine and erase our womanhood. Today, as we celebrate women, the transgender movement is making another push to force the public into accepting gender ideology. This time, they are back to using the Black female form as the…
This post resonated strongly with readers because it named a pattern many Black women recognize immediately but are rarely given room to discuss openly: the repeated use of the Black female body to legitimize an ideology that ultimately erases women. By looking at how “representation” is used to shut down dissent—particularly on International Women’s Day—it addressed race, sex, and power without detours or euphemism.

The Kirk Assassination and the Death of Debate
The political assassination of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy. I say that plainly. A husband and father is gone, and his family and supporters deserve compassion and space to grieve. But what we’re watching unfold in the aftermath isn’t just grief—it’s a campaign to silence dissent. And it’s one that twists the very First Amendment that Americans across the …
This piece generated some of the most divided responses of the year because it challenged an assumption shared across political lines: that grief should suspend debate. The reaction—supportive, critical, and conflicted—was a reminder of how unsettled our collective commitment to free speech has become when emotions run high.

Warnings Ignored: How the Grace Hopper Incident Exposed Systemic Failures
In October 2023, the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC)—the world’s largest conference for women in tech—should have been a moment of empowerment and progress. Instead, it became a stark reminder of how fragile women-centered spaces can be. After opening up admission to nonbinary people, the event s…
This post sat a bit outside my usual cultural commentary, which may be why it flew under the radar. It treated the Grace Hopper incident as an early warning—showing how women-centered spaces, labor markets, and immigration policy collide long before the consequences are widely acknowledged. It’s a quieter piece, but one that reflects how often women notice what’s breaking first.
A Timely Reflection:
What Good Is Title IX If No One Enforces It?
This weekend in California, a male athlete stood atop the high school girls' track and field podium—not once, but twice. The trans-identified athlete took first in the girls' high jump and triple jump, and second in long jump. Each girl was bumped up one spot—forced to share the podium with the male who took her place.
With major Title IX cases now before the Supreme Court, this piece remains especially relevant. It documents what happens when sex-based rights exist on paper but not in practice—how girls are displaced, officials defer responsibility, and enforcement erodes well before courts are asked to intervene.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting The Peachy Perspective this year. Whether you’ve been here since the early posts or found your way in recently, I’m grateful for the time and attention you’ve given my work.
In 2026, I’ll continue writing at the intersection of womanhood, policy, culture, and motherhood. I’m thankful to do that work alongside readers who value clarity, accountability, and reality-based discussion.
Onward into 2026.
