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

I mean I don’t watch KG but I’ve gotten the same response w ppl getting pissed off when I talk about my top surgery. Like not bragging or anything just bringing up that I’ve had it. I understand it can be hard to wait but at the same time you can’t take that out on other ppl
Yea I don’t like him but Jesus Christ him mentioning his top surgery, or anyone for that matter, isn’t a threat to people who haven’t had it? Weird thing for people to get pressed about. Jealousy issues for sure.

Making it easier and cheaper for trans people to get hrt and surgery under insurance
Making de-transitioners less common
Medicalizing being trans is NOT about:
Telling anyone if they are or are not trans because their dysphoria doesn’t match a “one size fits all” model
Remember that wanting to make detransitioners less common doesn’t mean it’s not okay to detransition! We make mistakes! We have phases! We just wanna prevent people from medically transitioning and finding out the hard way :)
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
Funny how this community preaches self expression and diversity until that self expression is a trans man being traditionally masculine or a lesbian “dressing straight.” It’s not diversity if everyone looks the same. It’s not self expression if they’re being forced to “look gay/trans.” Self expression can be in the form of falling into a gender role.
What’s the most ridiculous definition of bi and pan you’ve heard
I want to work on a new infographic and/or detailed discourse post. What are some of the most ridiculous/biphobic definitions or “distinctions” you’ve heard someone say. Please reblog/comment and share. Screenshots encouraged if you got them.
Some of the ones I’ve heard:
“Bi has preferences, pan does not”
“Bi is two genders, pan is all”
“Bi people care about genders/genitals, pan people care about personalities”
“bi is men and women, pan is men, women, and enby”
“bi people only like men and women, pan people like intersex people too”
“bi you’re attracted to people based on sex, pan you’re attracted to people based on personality.”
“I’m pan so I like men, women, and disabled people!”
I saw a screenshot of that on FB and I can’t for the life of me find it again.
oh boy I have one for you, courtesy of italian twitter:
translation:“I think [pansexuality] is a "more detailed” bisexuality, for example a bisexual could be racist, so love both sexes but not someone who’s black. Pansexuals can love anyone without any distinction"
I desperately want to tell you that this was a troll but I would be lying
The “bi cares about genitals, pan cares about personality” is honesty the worst one of all of these, not because it’s the worst thing you can say but because it’s so commonly used. It sets the idea that bisexual people are shallow and only care about look where pansexuals are pure angels who care about more than physical attractiveness. It reinforces the idea that pansexuality is the better version.
the truscum community has turned from having intellectual discussions to cringing about teenagers using bun pronouns and it doesn’t help our case and is honestly just annoying.
I would much rather talk about how the concept of pronouns like it/bun/gore are harmful than mocking some kid who wants attention. it’s also just rude, kids are cringe and were just putting them out here to publicly humiliate.
unless the kid is being absolutely horrible I think it’s just not right to do that. they probably have their own mental health issues and attention issues that they need to work on, a bunch of people making fun of them won’t help them or our cause. it will just make us look mean.
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.
The way I was so confused before reading the comments,,, why tf is “gore” one of your pronouns like nya, whatever I’ve seen it before, cats cute and all whatever. Still dumb but ok. But GORE??
The use of “nya’s” makes it clear these aren’t PRONOUNS. They are simply NOUNS. They’re nicknames for the person. We do not conjugate hers, his, or theirs. None of these “neopronouns” are pronouns, they’re proper noun nicknames that you demand people use in place of normal simplified speech.
We’ve all watched Kalvin Garrah at one point or another. Whether you like him, used to like him, or never liked him, you’ve heard of him and you know what kind of content he makes. I used to like Kalvin Garrah. I stopped liking him around 2 months ago. I stopped liking him for a number of small things that added up to big reasons. One of the main reasons I stopped liking him was because I realized that Kalvin is always contradicting himself. He makes fun of people’s appearance 24/7 EVERY video. (PSA: I’m okay with that, I know a lot of people aren’t which is fine. It’s like watching South Park) My problem with Kalvin doing it is because he’ll make fun of trans people with, for example, dyed hair and calls them “transtrenders” but then he’ll post a picture with someone that is trans who looks an awful lot like the people that he calls “transtrenders” and he’s cool with them. He believes their valid 100% even though he just got done saying someone is a “transtrender” based on their appearance. Which by the way, the reason I started writing this is because I wanted to see what was going on with Kalvin recently and I started watching his ordering a snake video and oh my god. HIS GIRL LOOKS LIKE SHE WEARS PAJAMAS TO SCHOOL AND EATS HOT CHEETOS FOR BREAKFAST. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE’S NEVER BRUSHED HER TEETH IN HER LIFE. I also heard he’s friends with a terf and somewhat agrees with them. Don’t know if that’s true but if it is WTF. He called someone the R word which I know some people mean it as stupid but still. I just don’t think anyone should say it. Kalvin and his friends are known to use slurs 24/7. The only one they don’t use (on camera) is the N word. Because the person Kalvin called the R word has Autism it leads me to believe that Kalvin doesn’t do his research at all. Which , I don’t know why, makes me feel weird. When I first started watching him I didn’t know anything about being trans so, when I heard him talk about it I just instantly believed him and because he was so confident in what he was saying I thought he was educated. Not saying he’s dumb I just thought he knew what he was talking about. I thought he did his research. I know this is super long and stupid but I always see tucutes getting attacked by transmed people because they don’t like Kalvin. I know that tucutes attack transmed people too. I don’t know I just wanted to put this out there.
If you believe that being trans is just a matter of socialization and personal self-expression, you’re part of the problematic mindset that keeps transgender men and women from being viewed as individuals with a rare physiological condition which requires specific and beneficial medical treatment.
it’s good society’s made it so trans people are more accepted, but the rise in trans men very much has to do with these teenage girls thinking being trans is the new trend. they confuse body image issues, trauma, mental illness, etc for gender dysphoria. lots of it is fetishization of trans men too, peep all those uwu soft gay boi “trans guys” popping up lately. it’s all confusion.
i’m not saying any of this from a place of hate, but rather experience. i detransitioned from being a trans man. i’m lucky my insurance blocked my access to hormones or i would’ve fucked up my life entirely. i went to gender therapy too and every time i had an ounce of doubt about my identity, she continued to push being trans onto me. this is common for most gender therapists to do. it’s repulsive.
anyways that was my quick rant. rogd is real, though i agree the studies are lacking.
this is facts. i went through a trans phase for 3 whole years of my life. i think my about page even still says he/him bc i’ve been too lazy to change it to they/them. gender therapists are so afraid of going against the public agenda and getting complaints of transphobia against them that they’re afraid to question whether someone’s “dysphoria” could actually be a case of body dysmorphia, autism, etc. and someone was like “it’s ableist to think autistic people don’t have an understanding of their own identities,” but i genuinely didn’t before i had the autism diagnosis. i chalked up my blunt way of speaking and my being “different” to others to being trans. and i came to this conclusion of being trans after spending too much time on social media and seeing the “trans is beautiful” rhetoric everywhere.
there’s a major ethical dilemma in the medical field. planned parenthood currently provides HRT to legal adults on an “informed consent” basis, even offering same-day prescriptions to those applicable. this completely bypasses the first rule of receiving HRT found in the WPATH SOC7: a well-documented and persistent case of gender dysphoria. what happened to “live as your preferred identity for at least a year?” i lived as mine for THREE before realizing i wasn’t trans. fortunately i realized this right before becoming a legal adult so i dodged a bullet of mistakenly getting HRT, but what about the people that come to this conclusion too late? that turn 18, get a referral for hormones, and only THEN realize they’re not trans? the medical field needs to stop this “affirmative action” model for their patients where they affirm their gender identity and take action with no questions asked. the prohibitive model obviously is just as bad because people don’t take too kindly to you insinuating that they’re not who they say they are. clinicians need to thoroughly evaluate their patients and try to find a root cause of gender dysphoria just in case it happens to be influenced by other aspects such as social media, body dysmorphia, autism, etc. otherwise this is downright medical malpractice. i’m not by any means suggesting that transgenderism isn’t real— there are many who feel genuine dysphoria over being born in “the wrong body” and HRT and surgery ARE the best paths for them. but now that the frequency of trans referrals has surged in recent years due to almost aggressively positive coverage on social media, we need to take extra precautions to not misdiagnose someone, as it can be catastrophic.
I never use this blog anymore, but I think I ought to outline this thought anyways.
There’s nothing wrong with not having dysphoria.
There’s nothing wrong with not having dysphoria and also wanting to change your name, or your pronouns, or drastically alter your hairstyle/clothes/gender presentation. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying when strangers can’t tell your gender, or think you’re the opposite gender. And you can do all of this without dysphoria.
What it means is that you’re GNC in an extreme way. And thats ok! It’s just a different experience from trans people who suffer from dysphoria that we need to medically alleviate.
And I’m pretty sure these two groups of people have historically intermingled a lot, sometimes used each others’ labels. And that’s also ok. I’m just saying, it might be time, in the modern day, to separate into two different labels, because we know more now, and we have different experiences and different needs (even if we also have some shared ones). Because we now know the neurological differences between the two, as well as differences in social needs.
If you don’t have dysphoria, you’re not trans, but like, that’s ok? And I’m not gonna gatekeep you from changing your pronouns or anything, fr man that is your own life and business not mine, as long as you’re not hurting yourself I support you 100%. All I’m really saying is that we’re both valid, but not the same, and it might be best to differentiate ourselves as two similar but distinct groups with similar but distinct experiences and needs.
hey lmao i changed my name to gus/reno and also im a tucute and use neopronouns and i dont reeaally feel like using this account ever again but if you’re chill with me i run an active (we have like. 40 people) discourse server and im potentially looking for a new mod or two
uhh, hi! i made a discourse server! again! because i want to be active in this stuff without the toxicity of tumblr beyond me!
i’ll make an official post soon but it’s still in its baby stages so ;;;
everyone is welcome! we have multiple fun bots, discourse channels, channels to show your art or your pets or the like, etc. feel free to promo this to your friends! keep in mind that we do have measures in place to prevent raids.
i come back from the dead to say genital preference isn’t transphobic because penises are, 99% of the time, male anatomy, and vagina’s are, 99% of the time, female anatomy.
you can’t go around lesbians and say that they have to like penis otherwise they’re transphobic. for people who are all about comfort and respect, you sure hate giving lesbians the respect that they deserve.
y’all say all men are trash, but when someone tries to include transmen you say that they aren’t. admit your transphobia and leave, sweethearts, because trans men are men through and through and if all men are trash, you need to include us too.
tucutes, banning me because i shared my opinion in a discourse server and they’re busy with their fingers in their ears going lalala:
The following are popular beliefs but untrue:
That any and all discourse must be “neutral”;
That “neutral” means giving any and all viewpoints the same platform, no matter how demonstrably true or immoral.
Truscum: joins a server with anti truscum and states beliefs that invalidate trans people
Truscum: is kicked
Truscum:
Truscum: *Make several unfounded statements that disrespects the identities and existence of several people because ~“It’s my opinion uwu”~ no matter how racist, transphobic, ableist, classist, etc. it is*
Anti-truscum: *Give actual scientific sources and disprove several of these statements, continually talk about how the woman who is frequently cited as coining the term “truscum” isn’t a “"cis girl”“, she’s a transwomanwho was mercilessly harassed by these assholes, had her nudes spread around by truscum, and was accused of her genitalia being fake because "It’s a different color from the rest of your body, obviously a fake”, even when she provided pictures of her estrogen too. And that continuing to call her a “cis girl” even while knowing this just serves to add onto her harassment and a way to misgender her. Make clear that people have something called boundaries and that we don’t want our safe spaces to be constantly invaded by entitled assholes who think that their opinions should rule our lives and dictate our lived experiences*
Truscum, immediately:
i logged back in and saw that people are still spreading this post around.
i’ll never come back to discourse on tumblr while it is still like this. every single one of you will harass someone to the ends of the earth just to prove that you’re right. you almost cost me my life, and that still could’ve been worse.
if you know what’s good for you, and you want to be considered genuinely good people, you need to listen. you won’t continually harass them. when they say they need to stop, they need to fucking stop. it doesn’t mean they consider themselves in the right 100% of the time, in fact, maybe they’re resigning because they believe you are right.
this is my formal apology for the post: i’m sorry. now please, leave me alone, and anyone else involved, because discourse shouldn’t have to be as goddamn lethal as i and all of you made it become.
thanks to the informed consent model, i start T on Friday transmeds stay bitter while you’re on your waitlists and continue to enable the system that makes it as difficult as possible to access trans resources and medical care
you do realize that transmeds can also use informed consent, right?
like. it’s not a tucute only zone. we can and do get hrt without sucking wpath’s cock first all the time.
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
