Just in case y’all weren’t convinced yet that a lot of truscum/transmed ideology is followed by alt-right or anti-feminism or literal nazi’s, here’s your proof
This is taken from the account bepisdog.
My guy, being a transmed just means you believe that you need dysphoria to be trans. Anything else is not transmedicalism. I completely disagree with many of this guy’s points and yet we are both transmeds. Having one thing in common doesn’t make us the same and you are generalizing by saying it does.
Yeah I know what transmedicalism is, I was a trasmed, and this person followed me before I blocked him. My point is that the ideology is followed by sh¡tty people saying and doing sh¡tty things completely unchecked.
But isn’t because they are transmeds. Every community has bad apples, it’s just how the world works.
Just because a shitty person shares an opinion with another group doesn’t mean it’s automatically shitty. Their transmedicalist views are separate from the others. I absolutely disagree with the shitty things that person says, and they are absolutely not welcome into the transmed community. Agreeing with one opinion doesn’t mean you condone everything they do.
This post is bad, ur bad, and anyone who uncritically reblogged this is bad. Seriously. Stop fucking shaming people for their pronouns and genders wtf???? Gross
You just defended space alien as a legitimate gender, good job.
Do you fucking transtrenders have any idea how difficult you’re making it for legitimate trans people to be taken seriously? Do you even fucking understand what a gender is? A gender isn’t a fucking aesthetic. It’s not a feeling, an animal, a colour, a fashion, or any other sparkly snowflake bullshit. A gender is literally the way your brain is biologically wired. There are millions of people who suffer and face dangerous discrimination because their genders don’t match their bodies, and you tweenyboppers are making it into a fucking trend that you can wear like a brooch or a scarf? Fuck you.
legimate autistic trans person: this mogai shit, especially neurogenders and your “autigender”, harms us
some cis kid: lmao mean gatekeeper
Me, neurodivergent and nonbinary: neopronouns arent necessary and saying that people like me “need” them to “properly express” our gender makes us out to be dumb toddlers.
Some cisgender neurotypical: you’re ableist >:((((
Out of curiosity, how many transmeds here actually believe that you need debilitating gender dysphoria in order to be a valid transgender person. Tucutes always explain transmedicalism to me (a transmed) by saying we think that you need to absolutely hate yourself to be seen as valid. I know I don’t believe that and I don’t think any of you (minus possible radicals, but radicals are always shit) actually think that.
People getting mad at Kalvin Garrah showing that he’s had top surgery and saying that doing that means he hates people who can’t transition and is classist is so funny. You’re just jealous.
No they’re getting mad at him because he is immature and toxic.
Oh no, these people were just straight up mad for him lifting up his shirt.
Somehow both Kalvin and the posse of anti-Kalvin tucutes are equally childish and it’s hilarious to me.
I don’t like the dude either but this is just funny
His haters are honestly far more immature (and pretty dumb tbh) like they seriously think this guy is gonna change his opinions at all because they spam him and get pissed at every little thing he does? They’re giving him money attention. I’d be loving like if I were in his shoes. He could probably get top surgery another 20 times with the money he’s gotten from their interactions on his social media
everytime I see a post like “I believed in transmedicalism before I understood better” the person mentions something about how they used to deny they were trans because they didn’t experience “debilitatingdysphoria”. not that they didn’t experience dysphoria at all but that it wasn’t debilitatingand I’m just like
that’s not what transmedicalists are saying though…?
some of you are just making up standards without ever even speaking to a transmedicalist, based on gossip from friends or w/e, then act enlightened when your views change from what you THOUGHT transmedicalism was.
literally all it means is believing you need some dysphoria to be trans, for the simple fact that the unease is an indicator that your gender isn’t matching- and that’s any level of unease. that’s ALL. everything else are standards made up by people who disagree despite not really understanding
as much as everyone says they hate transmeds and they’re against transmeds, every trans person I’ve ever spoken to describes some level of unease with their birth gender. they describe it in different ways and to different extents, but the very basic indicator of “hey, something isn’t right”, is something even people who claim to have no dysphoria, end up talking about experiencing
what I’m getting at here is that dysphoria encompasses a lot more experiences and “levels” than you’ve been led to believe and the issue here isn’t one of transmed vs everyone else, it’s of poor medical labelling and people thinking they have to be miserable when that’s literally not what anyone is saying
This was long coming, I just don’t care for it nearly as much as I used to. Besides, I’ve met someone who made me reevaluate my views on discourse (pro tip: don’t fall in love with two enbies in a row?) and whether I need to be engaged in it per se? It’s difficult to explain, my stance hasn’t changed much, I just don’t care for it.
Y'all might have noticed that I haven’t engaged with much discourse lately as it is. Let’s just say my mental health didn’t take the hit of losing a support system as well as I hoped it would.
On the bright side, I don’t think I’ll try and kill myself ever again. And I’ll definitely purge much more of my online presence over time, once I have it.
I’m still going to be on this blog, don’t get me wrong. Just less.
They were right when they told me I’d know who my real friends were. And I’ll cherish these people more than I could ever before.
In a year, their fucking waiting lists for the NHS Gender Identity Clinic have gone from 12 months to 24 months, due to “An increase of illegitimate cases”, referrals for people that are made to the Gender Identity Clinic, which go through the entire system, get an appointment and aren’t even actually trans. The clinic has to see these people anyway, at least once, which takes up valuable appointments for real trans people in desperate need.
This is the sort of shit I mean when I say that transtrenders are stealing resources. I don’t mean “oh boo hoo they’re taking our binders”, I mean you’re taking up our appointment spaces for no reason, denying people the healthcare they need all because you want to be a real trans boy uwu
am i the only one who thinks that the concept of “internalized bigotry” the way some of y’all throw it around is just…fancy gaslighting? like regardless of what the term originally meant (and i realize that it’s being misused), telling a trans person that they have “internalized transphobia” just because they’re transmed or telling a woman that she has “internalized misogyny” just because she doesn’t consider herself to be a feminist is…really fucked up.
like shockingly enough, minorities are not a hive mind. we don’t agree with each other on everything. someone holding a different opinion than you is not the same as racism, sexism, homophobia etc and to act like minorities are incapable of forming different opinions on their own without the influence of their oppressors is so fucking condescending.
like if your bio has ‘truscum don’t interact’ in it but you go out of your way to interact with truscum first then like…i Really Don’t Know What to Tell You.
I’ll never understand the tucute/mogai/inclusionist obsession with intentionally going into transmed/anti-mogai/exclusuonist tags just to flip their shit at the people in those tags.
like if you have no patience for differing opinions then like…stay out of those tags? don’t intentionally look for posts that you already know are going to piss you off? that just doesn’t seem rational or healthy at all.
honestly I take for granted the fact that trans and ace discourse isn’t more prevalent in the ‘real world’ like I’m not naive enough to think it’s isolated to just this hellsite but also the average person understands that you need dysphoria to be transgender and that asexuality isn’t ~kweer~ and i don’t think anyone truly appreciates the fact that coffee shops aren’t plastered with “truscum don’t interact” and very few people will actually harass or hate you for saying that asexuals aren’t lgbt.
it might not just be a 'tumblr problem’ but thank god that it’s also not a 'real life’ problem because I might actually hang myself if I had to deal with lgbt-phobia from conservative assholes and 'allies’ alike.
and like honestly you all knowthat when someone says “you need dysphoria to be trans” they mean “you need genderdysphoria to be trans.” trying to claim that you don’t need dysphoria to be trans because “dysphoria” means “a state of feeling very unhappy, uneasy, or dissatisfied” is just…stupid.
use your context clues. holy hell. do you do the same thing when someone with an eating disorder claims to have “anorexia” when what they’re referring to is ~actually~ called anorexia nervosa? no, because you’re an intelligent human being capable of basic reading comprehension and you know exactly what that person meant. literally nobody is saying that you need to be “very unhappy, uneasy, or dissatisfied” to be trans. they’re saying you need a disconnect between your birth sex and your gender identity. you know that.
how do you handle concepts like lesbians (who could also be people from the island of lesbos) or homophobia (which could also be the fear of things that are the same)? how do you handle homonyms and homophones? do you shit your pants every time someone uses an acronym with multiple meanings?
The disconnect between your agab and you is called gender incongruence
nope! understandable and valid mistake, though; lots of words or phrases sound like they absolutely should mean one thing when they actually mean something slightly different. gender dysphoria is“gender incongruence.”
A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics
A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics
A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender
A strong desire to be of the other gender
A strong desire to be treated as the other gender
A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender
and there’s a separate list of criteria for minors, but it mainly relies on sexist stereotypes (in typical dsm fashion) and also says nothing about “dysphoria” in the broader sense of the term.
you only have to hit two or more of those, too, not the whole list.
the disconnect between your assigned sex at birth and your gender identity is called gender dysphoria. it’s what makes a trans person trans.
and like honestly you all knowthat when someone says “you need dysphoria to be trans” they mean “you need genderdysphoria to be trans.” trying to claim that you don’t need dysphoria to be trans because “dysphoria” means “a state of feeling very unhappy, uneasy, or dissatisfied” is just…stupid.

honestly i’m convinced that transtrenders who are “faking it for attention” or “pretending to be trans” are far and few between and the majority of the “you don’t need dysphoria to be trans” discourse just stems from people genuinely thinking that gender dysphoria only means suffering, self-hatred, severe physical/body dysphoria, and the intent to medically transition (which it doesn’t).
like i have a friend who, when it came up in conversation once, said that he believed you can be trans without dysphoria. his reason for thinking so was that he has a trans friend (post top surgery, a few years on t) who (inb4 someone tries to claim quotation marks are indicative of sarcasm or disbelief, i’m literally just quoting him) “loves his body.”
so we’ve got two problems here. one, dysphoria doesn’t mean hating your body. yeah there’s an overlap—a lot of trans people dohate their bodies—but it’s not a requirement to hate yourself. you just need dysphoria of some kind. two, conflating post-dysphoric with non-dysphoric. of course someone who’s transitioned (either medically or socially) is going to have less dysphoria or even none. that’s the whole point of transitioning: it’s how you alleviate gender dysphoria. the alternative is conversion therapy, and i don’t think i need to explain why that’s bad or ineffective.
and this was an actual IRL friend, not some random stranger on tumblr with their fingers in their ears, so we actually had a civil conversation about it instead of suicide baiting, calling each other clowns, shitposting and then blocking each other. I elaborated on my above points. you can have social dysphoria but little or no physical dysphoria. you can have moderate to severe dysphoria about your secondary sex characteristics and it doesn’t necessarily mean “hating your body.” someone who has already transitioned can be “non-dysphoric” because their dysphoria lessened or completely went away after transitioning. it’s not the same thing as having never been dysphoric—ie being cis.
and that was the end of that debate because we were both in agreement that you need gender dysphoria in order to be trans. you need a disconnect between your birth sex and the gender you [are/identify as/however I word this yall are gonna complain so just take your pick] in order to be transgender. that’s literally it. you don’t need to hate yourself, your existence doesn’t need to be constant suffering, you don’t need to medically transition, you don’t need to be gender conforming, you don’t have to “look or act a certain way.” you literally just need gender dysphoria.
like half of yall don’t actually think you can be trans without gender dysphoria, you’re just choosing to skew the meaning of words in order to stir up drama.
if tucutes actually had dysphoria (or even just an ounce of empathy and human decency) then they’d understand why making fun of a trans guy for having big lips, calling a trans woman ugly as fuck, or just generally mocking and belittling trans people (or anyone, for that matter) for their appearance is a really shitty thing to do. just saying.
if gender was a social construct then trans people wouldn’t exist! if words and in particular pronouns weren’t gendered then there’d be no such thing as misgendering! tucute rhetoric is just transphobia masquerading as inclusivity and acceptance!
transmeds: dysphoria = trans, and “non-dysphoric trans person” is an oxymoron, because if you have zero discomfort or disconnect from your birth sex, then there’s no reason for you to transition. It’s like wanting to call yourself autistic and use accommodations intended for autistic people when you have zero symptoms of autism.
some of yall: this evil disgusting bigotry literally drove me to attempt suicide and end up in a psychiatric hospital
oh no all y'all “tumblr trannies uwu” are going to come after me in a few years because I will not only have a degree in biology but I’m also currently a psych major and none of this changes the fact that I will always be “truscum”
