āterflies: On the topic of @idontlikecispeopleāwho ostensibly coined...ā
Is your name 'transmeds'? No. I wasn't saying *you* asserted the entire discourse started with her.
If you say something in a response directed towards me, in a post made to disprove one of my claims, Iāll obviously take a comment like that as being directed towards me. Especially given that itās ambiguous enough to look like itās directed at me.
I said it like twice and Iāll say it one more time. The arguments over whether or not you need dysphoria or incongruence or whatever the FUCK were started by who cares in the year of why bother.
IDCP coined the termĀ āTucuteā for her mindset ofĀ āyou donāt need dysphoria/incongruence/whatever to be transā because she thought whether or not one was cis/an oppressor class and trans/an oppressed class was a choice, and coined the term āTruscumā for her opposerās ideas ofĀ ābeing trans isnāt a choice, you need dysphoria/incongruence/some other word for the concept of a disconnect & desire to be the other genderā.
This is a smaller facet of the overall discourse you talk about. I have never seen anybody claim that she started the entire debate, only that re-sparked it by giving both sides a name and adding a new fold to it.
The tucute movement as it is right now as I fucking type is probably different from IDCPās original vision, maybe not, but I donāt know anything about that. All Iām saying is that people who useĀ ātucuteā andĀ ātruscumā should know where those terms came from and consider the implications and ramifications.
