I know people hate them and I think they pretend to care about trans people but cause more harm than good? And I think they’re related to transmedicalism but I don’t know what that is either… Also why does it look/sound like “true scums”?? Do they call themselves that?! X3
(btw I just noticed I can’t find this comm at all in Jerboa, the search thingy only shows 10 comms and this one isn’t one of them when I search for “trans” :< so I had to go to my profile and find the last post I made here)
Transmed = If you don’t medically transition you’re not trans
Truscum = If you’re not crippled by dysphoria, you’re not trans
They’re both gatekeepers that have latched on to whichever particular form of gatekeeping aligns with their own experience of being trans, and decided that that is the only way to be trans.
