Clearing up truscum/tucute ideologies

...See more I found this on a reddit post and it's really helpful so I'm gonna share it all with you! "The 'Truscum' side, which I will call transmedicalists, consider being trans to be inherently a medical condition by definition. The more nuanced and modern view is that being trans is not a medical condition, but dysphoria is, and there is a very strong correlation between being trans and experiencing dysphoria. So when someone pursues medical transition, it is a medical treatment for the medical condition of dysphoria, not medical treatment for the medical condition of being trans. The roots of the disagreement are almost purely semantic, but with any disagreement there are people who take things way too far and turn everything into *** show. the Transmedicalist version of taking things to far is essentially backing gatekeeping policies and insisting that everyone who has lower dysphoria levels than they do isn't really trans. I find this is usually actually about them trying to preserve their concept of a unified trans ideology and assuming everyone who disagrees with them about anything cant really be trans, therefore there is no within community disagreement, because everyone who disagrees isn't really trans. I have witnessed many cases of people with major physical dysphoria being accused of being a 'transtrender' just because they had a different opinion on something. The other side also has people who take things way too far. Some aren't content with the division of trans = identity, dysphoria = medical condition, and insist that dysphoria isn't a medical condition either, or that it is purely the result of social abrasion. They believe social dysphoria exists because of *** cis attitudes, and physical dysphoria is just a manifestation of social dysphoria. Taken even further, they may believe that people who pursue medical transition only do so to appease bigoted cis people. Their arguments can end up undermining access to care for trans people who need it, just as the pro gatekeeping transmedicalists can. It is important to note that the vast majority of people making the 'you don't need to have dysphoria to be trans' argument are people who have dysphoria themselves, which is a point most transmedicalists tend to overlook. To me, the argument of weather or not you need dysphoria to be trans is a disastrous side show that misses the point. The number of people who are trans, but having trouble coming to terms with it because they haven't learned to perceive their dysphoria yet, or they think their dysphoria isn't 'serious enough' to 'count' is astronomical. The number of out and proud publicly self identifying trans people who claim to have no dysphoria is minuscule if it even exists at all outside of specific cultural identities where that is expected. Shunning people who don't perceive themselves to have dysphoria but are considering that they might be trans will almost exclusively have the effect of harming trans people with dysphoria, by preventing them from going through the steps they need to in order to recognise it. This isn't to say that the 'dysphoria is a social construct' crowd isn't doing harm. I recently had a obgyn argue against going forward with my hysterectomy on the bases of 'you don't need to physically transition to be a real man so why bother.' Both sides have polarized edges that are making a mess and both of those edges need to get over themselves." - u/feiwynne I hope this helped somewhat!
Why are m-spec lesbians bad?

...See more There are many reasons someone might want to identify as an m-spec lesbian. * They have a preference for women but can be attracted to other gender(s) as well * They use the split attraction model (lesbian and multiromantic, multisexual and lesbiromantic, etc It's harmful, hateful, and outright homophobic/transphobic to assume someone will affect the community negatively just because of how they identify when it's only gatekeepers like these who harm the community most. Why is it so hard to just respect how one identifies??
What gender does this seem like to you?

...See more There are already some terms that I relate closely to, like versandrogyne and maverique, but I feel some sort of connection to lots of genders with those ones standing out the most. I don't feel like multiple genders, however. I feel like my gender isn't fluid or fluctuating, but I think it changes in some way I can't describe or figure out. I don't like the idea of not choosing a label at all and I like to use microlabels to more accurately describe myself. What does this seem like to you?

...See more I go by a few different names, but I'm most commonly referred to as Ash. I'm basically genderfluix and an oriented aroace. I have a bit of a pronoun hoard, but my favorites are xe/xem/xyr/xyrs/xemself and voi/void/voids/voids/voidself. I'm also polyamorous and voidpunk. (Edited to remove offsite link 5/26/2023)
Hellos. I'm new here.

...See more When I first started questioning my gender, I thought I was genderfluid. Turns out, I was right. I didn't realize it until like 6 months later tho. Before then, I was switching out my labels on a daily basis. It was very annoying and stressful. So now I know that I'm genderfluid, but it turns out that it's not so simple. I identify as blurgender (the genders I'm fluid between blur together so I don't usually know what gender I am in the moment) and I'm also starting to collect xenogenders. I did come out to my parents in April, but I didn't know they were transphobic. I had even tested the waters by asking their opinions about a transphobic tweet someone made and I thought it was safe to come out. Now they think that someone else is telling me to be this way, which is just ridiculous. Why on Earth would I CHOOSE to be this complicated??? Figuring out who I am is a struggle enough, let alone keeping the likes of them happy. It's gonna take a lot more than scamming me out of my hope and ultimately letting me down just because of some petty beliefs that invalidate other's feelings to keep me from being myself. I'm gonna save up enough to move out of their lives forever. Iceland maybe. But for now I just have to get by. I have about 3 ish years left to wait.

...See more Being genderfluid sucks. Sometimes I like my body and sometimes I don't. I could never get surgery to become one gender, or else I'd be feeling bad about not being the gender I was before. Guess I'll have to live with these issues forever...
