I will never get over the fact that "truscum" and "tucute" were either invented by, or popularized by a natural born woman on Tumblr going by the handle of "idislikecispeople" and she identified as an MTF. Yes, human being born with vagina, identified as MTF. This is the Patient Zero of this whole fucking mess. The fact that both these factions have such little shame that they use these terms to describe themselves after all these years tells so much about them. I much more have respect for individuals who call themselves transsexuals or transmedicalists. It feels like the ones who call themselves Truscum (either ironically or seriously) either just gave up and accepted their shitty label, or they were too weak and lost the battle. And the people they lost the battle to were mentally ill teenagers who wanted to call themselves 'bunself/leafself/starchildself' pronouns. Either way, fuck them, how could they allow Tucutes to hijack the T and fuck everyone in the LGBT this hard?

If I have to pick a side between truscum and tucute, of course I will pick truscums true transsexuals with dysphoria every single time. I feel so sad for true transsexuals. Not only are they suffering from a mental health issue that makes them obsess with their body to such a degree, they feel like their true lives can't even begin until they chop their tits or dicks off, now they have to put up with a horde of pretenders who want to steal the label for themselves and kick the true T out, calling them 'transphobic.'

But transsexuals aren't perfect either, a lot of them try to push the ladybrain issue, or the female soul born in male body thing. Contapoints and Blaire White don't do this, they at least admit they are basically men with extreme body mods who feel relief from dysphoria by becoming (their societally-warped idea of) woman-like.

At this point, even if all the tucutes desisted and moved on to the next trend tomorrow and only transsexuals were left, I still want to separate the LGB from the T. Our original point stands. Gender issues have fuck-all to do with sexual orientation issues. The T were allowed in as a courtesy because a huge chunk of them started out life as a gay man or lesbian. But looking back we now see that we should have never allowed this. We should have said 'You're straight now, hunty. Go fly on your own wings. I'll support you as a friend, but you can't sit with us.'

Holy shit, I had no idea! That's insane - and so symptomatic of what we're seeing.

Yeah, I take issue with that as well. I get that they want to refer to science as an explanation for why they feel the way they do, but afaik, there's no bulletproof medical explanation to what causes gender dysphoria. For being generally sensible about themselves and the reality around them, it's more than a bit baffling to see some of them refer to ladybrains and male souls.

Yes, basically. Their issues are not the same as ours.
