Originally, there was r/TrueTrannies, which was fairly active for a small sub of maybe a thousand members. TT started getting overrun with spam, and the mod/creator was absent, so users broke off into their own subs ... r/Transmedical and r/Truscum.

r/Truscum took off because it was the first created and advertised, and the term "truscum" strikes a nerve among trans people who are being excised from their own community by radical activists.

Both believe you have to have dysphoria to be trans, and dysphoria is a medical condition - the reasons can vary though, even among their users. Generally speaking, dysphoria is believed to either be a mental health issue or a biological issue (brain/body mismatch), and typically transition is the cure. They don't all believe you have to transition though, because again, medical condition. ... not all medical conditions get cured, some are just accepted and lived with.

AHS and Reddit believe whatever you identify as is real, and dysphoria and medical conditions are not necessary (and may even be ableism or hate speech). They hate r/Truscum because it exposes their lies and deception. That sub will be banned the moment they can find even a slight reason, and believe me, AHS tries to invent reasons whenever they can.

Disgusting.

That is the thing. Transsexuals and transgender are not the same, no matter how much liars in the media and the LGBT community (that true transsexuals are not a part of) want to tell you. So anyone who says a person born feeling the other from age 4 and who wants complete transition with HRT and surgery is not the same as crossdressers, gender variant, "women" with penises (that they are proud of), non-binary, etc., are seen as being hateful.

Genuine transsexuals tend to be more likely to be right-wing, hyper-religious, homophobic, or even white nationalist than transgenders. It seems that those in power saw this and created transgenders to dilute the influence of actual transsexuals.

The only good thing I see some out of the transgender community is that a lot fewer non-transsexuals are getting the surgery. There is no overwhelming social advantage to do so now, leaving the surgery more to those who personally feel they must have it for internal reasons, not social advantage.
