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
If you, quote, unquote, “don’t feel like a girl,” but aren’t dysphoric, you’re not trans.
You’ve hijacked the transgender term and turned it into something that exists for the soul purpose of grabbing oppression points.
You can feel like how you want to present yourself is opposite to the traditional, but if you’re not dysphoric, you’re not trans.
You’ve turned it into a quirky label instead of a serious mental illness.
And I also have trouble taking transgenders seriously on this hellsite.
I said “transgenders” instead of “transgender people” because it seems like you don’t want to be seen as a person, you want to be seen for your adopted oppression.
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.
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.
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.
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.
unpopular opinion but we should make hrt and surgery easier to get, not harder. informed consent should be an option for all fully-informed adults and it really doesn’t matterthat a handful of trendy cis people might take advantage of that and transition when they don’t need to.
like sorry but i’ll prioritize giving trans people access to the healthcare they need over protecting stupid people from their own bad decisions any day. i can’t believe that’s even a question.
i can honestly say with absolute certainty that i’d be dead without informed consent and like seriously, i can’t fathom why so many of y’all wanna shoot yourselves in the foot in the name of “protecting” tucutes from getting dysphoria.
like some of you really care more about the tucutes you claim to dislike than you care about yourselves and your trans siblings and it really shows. it also sucks.

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.
So, to any inclus, exclus/transmeds, block magic/dayz for antisemitism. Do not interact with or harass or send threats to him though. Please.
So let’s start from the beginning to understand the situation. magic/dayz posted this:
To which I sent this ask that he replied to (but didn’t add my tag because I figured maybe they’d listen if I didn’t use my openly inclus main blog):
Ok, ok. I figured this could be a kid who just doesn’t understand why this is not good. I wasn’t able to screenshot my original reply to him from the notes because he blocked me immediately after sending me this.
(@rittz is an exclusionist who basically said that the anon I sent was right about the antisemitism)
But what I said in replies was basically, antisemitism is deeply rooted and often heavily influences media. Even if the people making a show don’t intentionally do something antisemitic, this is so deeply rooted that people often make antisemitic caricatures without fully realizing that they’ve done it. That doesn’t make it any less antisemitic. I remember using Mother Gothel from the Tangled movie’s design as an example because it ticks a lot of boxes.
I was upset and frustrated so I sent this anon that was more aggressive than I meant it to be and tagged it this time:
And his response was this:
And after that came this because I was upset that he kept brushing off a Jewish person telling him he was saying something antisemitic:
And there we go. I think I explained things pretty well in the asks about whats bad and why even if they were much more aggressive and emotional that I’d have liked.
Yall realize that you don’t have to agree with every single thing someone says, right? You can be friends with people that have different opinions. There’s no need to block people over stupid shit like you being a truscum and them being a tucute and vice versa. We can hear each other out and respect our opinions and continue to coexist normally. Why do you want to limit yourself to people that think exactly like you all the time? You wanna live in an echo chamber?
Y'all do realize the more you call trans kids “transtrenders” and that they’re “faking it” the more parents aren’t gonna support even Actually Real Dysphoric Trans People, right?
i actually experienced this last summer.
my mom is friends with this trans woman, who was really sweet and she was super cool, but then i tried to come out after my mom expressed how much she liked her trans friend and how amazing she is. i told my mom about my crippling chest dysphoria and how much i’d love to be called by he/him pronouns and my preferred name. i told her about how i’ve always felt this way and i’ve known since eighth grade.
well the thing is, her friend is a transmed.
my mom is an uninformed person on trans issues, because she didn’t really care about them until recently. she took resources from her transmed friend and it ruined my life. she went off about how i’m not really trans because i didn’t come out sooner, i have piercings, my hair is always a crazy color, i still like girly things, and my glasses are weird. she kept yelling about how i didn’t have dysphoria before, so i obviously have the wrong definition. she told me if i was trans it would’ve been diagnosed by my therapist already, and it was just a cult bandwagon phase. i was locked away from the outside world for a month.
when my next year of high school rolled around, i was out as trans. my partner provided me with a binder and all was well. i came out to all my peers at the beginning and about halfway through the school year to my teachers. it was quiet, under the table. i told them my mom didn’t know and under our school guidelines, they were not allowed to tell my mom that sort of thing. well, one of my teachers ended up being lgbtphobic and i didn’t know, and announced to the class that she didn’t “agree with the lifestyle” and that “gay marriage isn’t what god wanted.” my mom got an email that day about me being out as trans at school. i wonder who could’ve sent it?
my mom blew up. she was sending me treat after threat because i was a trender, all i did was lie for attention, that i chose to be trans because it was trendy and that real trans people wouldn’t flaunt their transness. of course, she got these resources from her transmed friend. she pulled me out of public school and cut my contact with the outside world for three whole months. i didn’t get back into school until february.
DO NOT TELL ME THAT PEOPLE WITH DIFFERING OPINIONS ISNT TRANSPHOBIC AND HARMFUL BECAUSE EVEN AS A DYSPHORIC TRANS PERSON, TRANSMEDICALISM HAS RUINED MY HOME, MY FAMILY, AND MY LIFE. I WILL NOT STAND FOR TRANSMEDS OR PEOPLE WHO ALLOW THEIR INTERACTION. THEY ARE EXTREMELY HARMFUL AND NEED TO BE STOPPED BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE RUINED.
I Have a point for transmeds to consider:
If Every Single Non-Dysphoric Person Turned Out To Be Cis
it wouldn’t matter. Even if all of them turned out to just be experimenting, or trying it for attention or any of your worst fears - it would not matter. All this does is normalise the trans experience. It brings awareness, it makes it acceptable for people to “test the waters” and (if you were right and they arent trans) that allows dysphoric trans people who’ve repressed their dysphoria to ‘try it’ too.
The perks of accepting nondysphoric trans people far outweigh any Potential detriment.
I feel like the rise of fear and unhappiness about this is directly linked to awareness of detransitioned people and the long wait time at GIC’s. We should not hate de-transitioned people, more often than not they made a mistake and experienced dysphoria as a result and thats a horrible thing we should empathise with. The long wait times are bad.
I’ve said before, in the UK GIC’s are not psychological places or support groups. They are for medical transition only and wont really help with legal paperwork either. If you only want to socially transition do not get referred to a GIC here - hit up some support networks (like TMSA-UK). That said it is not non-dysphoric trans people or even people who are mistaken about their gender identity that are the problem. Its lack of funding and lack of doctors - and thats something that needs to be fixed.
