Good question, OP. And a bit of a mind-bender: kept going back and forth on it-- "truscum!" "no, tuctues!" "but truscum really hurt us tho!" etc. Then: "Well, they're just harmful in different ways." Followed by: "Guess it's a harmfulness-draw."

But when I really think about it... both "sects"' harmfulness here comes down to the same thing: gender overriding sex. That is, "trans-ness" itself. So, where us LGBs are concerned, perhaps you can't compare "truscum" and "tucutes" because there's actually no meaningful difference.

Both are devoted to the idea that gender is more important than biological sex. Otherwise, how could they even BE "trans"? So "truscum" and "tucute" alike are harmful to us, in that we're defined by, and they are at WAR with, the primacy of sex. Whichever of them wins... we lose. By being erased.

It's the basic ideology of "trans" that's the problem. The rest-- what ostensibly distinguishes the sects from each other-- just seems like packaging.
