It’s the 21st century, ladies. If you’re actually dumb enough to transition to male on a whim and then regret it, that’s your damn issue and I refuse to compromise my quality of life for it.

2) in fact the most common transmed stance on gatekeeping ive seen is ”if you go on t and regret it because you weren’t really trans, that is entirely on you, and you absolutely should have done your research first.” im sure there are transmeds who want to increase gatekeeping but i think most of us want our ‘mones too much to, like, actively fuck ourselves over in the way you’re describing.

3) your insinuation that trans men encourage gnc women to go on T is patently false. trans men and particularly transmeds want MORE interrogation about gender, not less. if you show me one transmed person encouraging some random gnc woman to take hrt apropos of fucking nothing, ill eat my hat.

it’s okay if you’re just straight and cis. you don’t NEED to be anything else.

i’m not saying that to reassure straight or cis people that they’re still good people or whatever, because i consider those kinds of sentiments to be so unnecessary that i question anyone who thinks they’re important enough to preach out loud, you can go outside and no one will beat you up for being those things. you’ll be fine. you are never in danger for being those things like gay and trans people are.

Transexualism is a medical condition with criteria for diagnosis (namely gender dysphoria) and just saying you’re trans does not make you trans. You cannot choose to be trans.

1) if your answer is “that’s up for the person to decide,” that’s not an answer, which means you fail

2) if your answer is “anyone who thinks they’re trans probably is” then your answer inherently fails other people who question their identity, such as butch lesbians or genuinely effeminate men, which means you fail

3) if your answer is “a person can tell that they’re trans because of their comfort with certain gender roles” then you’re implying that gender roles can sometimes be authentic. this stance is pretty anti-feminist and gatekeepy, and this is coming from the guy who runs a truscum blog. btw, this also means you fail.

You have an opinion, it is your right to have that opinion, and I am not telling you that you need to abandon that opinion. I believe you are wrong, but I also acknowledge that there is likely nothing I can say, no amount of publications from reputable psychological sources I can cite, to change your mind. And I don’t care. You can believe what you wish, just as anyone else can. Racists, misogynist, bigots of all kind, they are just as entitled to their opinions as you.

That out of the way, dypshoria is the symptom that makes a person able to be diagnosed as transgender. Dysphoria is the discomfort that one experiences due to their body’s sexual characteristics being at odds with how they perceive it should be, and if a person doesn’t feel that way, I’m not sure exactly how or why they would consider themselves to be transgender.

I think the cancer metaphor is a little overused and not exactly the best parallel to draw. I think it might be more accurate to say that being trans is like suffering clinical depression. There are people who are sad or who are struggling at certain points in their lives, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have the same needs or experiences as someone who suffers clinical depression. There are people who struggle with apathy and listlessness for other health reasons, and though their behavior might appear like that of someone with depression, that might not be the case. However, to be diagnosed with clinical depression, someone needs to be exhibiting certain specific diagnostic criteria.

Being trans is very similar. Some people like to express themselves by dressing and/or acting in ways commonly associated with the opposite sex, but - unless they are doing so due to their deep-seated discomfort in their biological body and its sexual characteristics - they’re not necessarily trans. Some people might experience discomfort with their genitals due to past traumatic events or other mental health concerns, but doesn’t mean that they’re necessarily trans. 

Literally, no fucking joke, I was talking with my friend who is a trans man about how we’re terrified of being forcibly impregnated and how the constant threat of being raped & impregnated, and men’s continued willingness to act on that threat is a form of terrorism and sex-based oppression, and four fuckin trans women AT ONCE started ganging up on us and saying that we were making them feel shitty and privileged for not being able to get pregnant. They kept going on and on about how much they wished they  could get pregnant, and how complaining about anything related to pregnancy makes them dysphoric. And then one of them went on for like 4 minutes about how a lot of their sexual fantasies involve them being pregnant or impregnated. 

I shit you not. My friend was like “I hate having been born in a body that’s seen as a breeding machine and that I was raised and socialized to be basically a breeding cow for men.” and they were like “Well, a lot of trans women actually wish we were seen that way and this is honestly getting really terfy and is making us feel dysphoric and shitty and you need to change the way you speak about this right now. Complaining about pregnancy oppresses trans women and other infertile women and it’s actually a privilege that either of you can get pregnant. Stop flaunting your AFAB privilege. “ This is the same group of trans women who, immediately upon hearing me talk about my androphobia and penis-repulsion due to traumatic sexual experiences with males, asked “Well, what about girldick?” as if it made any fucking difference or was appropriate to ask to someone who just fucking opened up about sexual trauma.

And that whole interaction is why we need them. Not every single women’s space needs to be female only, but we still NEED them, for fuck’s sake. I’m not going to water down the reality of sex-based oppression by using degrading “inclusive” language when it’s already upsetting and degrading to talk about. You know who thinks of us as “womb-bearers” and “gestators”? Men. The men who have those shitty breeding kinks. The men who get off to the idea of using women as breeding machines. The men who impregnate their wives and girlfriends to get them to stay in abusive relationships. 

The types of trans women who react this violently to the thought of females having female-only spaces are the types of trans women who intentionally try to derail any conversations about sex-based oppression, accuse females of being TERFs for talking about their vaginas one fucking time, talk over females when they try to talk about female-only issues, and try to shame and guilt females into never talking about female-only issues with claims of the very mention of them causing extreme dysphoria or just being inherently transphobic. 

Having female-only spaces is for our comfort and for the comfort of trans women. It lets us talk about our shit that literally only affects us and therefore only needs to include us. I know it feels shitty to be “excluded” but this LITERALLY does not include you because you will NEVER have these problems. For us to tackle sex-based oppression, which only females face, we need to be able to congregate in spaces soley for us so that we can name our experiences in a completely uncensored environment and formulate a battle plan. 

Trenders/tucutes constantly implying that every feminine boy or masculine girl is trans is mainly to blame. There’s been a rise in this behavior because of the nonsense that they spew and it’s causing people who aren’t trans to convince themselves that they are because of how they express themselves.

“If cis men can do it, why can’t I?!” -a nondysphoric thinking they’ve suddenly fooled us all, and found the single string that makes our whole arguments about  passing invalid

- Cis men still put makeup on in a way that doesn’t try and reshape their face into a female face. Non-dysphorics don’t even try to put on make up on in a masculine way - Cis men can wear extreme eye makeup because right next to their winged eyeliner, there is a facial hair shadow or stubble. Non-dysphorics have non of that, especially if they’re wearing heavy concealer/foundation. - Wearing a shirt that shows off a gendered sex characteristic (breasts in this case) shows that the non-dysphoric DOESN’T have an ounce of dysphoria if she is able to flaunt around like that without distress of any kind - Having pastel hair along without passing at all immediately makes people in the public see you as feminine, and thus, as a woman. (Trans men want to avoid those possibilities, and that’s why you see more trans men with natural hair, than colored)

The Ultimate Truscum Masterpost! Where the douches can’t be fucking “”“reclaimed,”“” because they send people death threats, and it addresses all sides of this issue!

I drew this with my finger on my fuckin phone, inb4 y'all knock the quality of it.

Introducing: Fredrick: A normal fucking person who happens to hold transmed beliefs. He is 17.

Adrien: A normal fucking person who happens to hold tucute beliefs. They are in an abusive situation and are thus struggling with a lot of internalized transphobia. They are 13.

Madjesty: A non-dysphoric person, aka a cis person, who sends people death and rape threats for not calling “them” an “it.” “They” are 27.

I saw something like this so I made my own
