Maybe they used to be, but now that the definition of gender dysphoria has been broadened to include almost every feeling of discontent it really doesn't mean much. Truscum these days usually just means "I don't think emoji pronouns are uwu valid."

Remember when those old GPS systems used to say "recalibrating...recalibrating..." when you missed a turn?

Yeah, it seems everything has shifted dramatically again in the ~4 years or so when I really tried to understand transgender ideology and the community. Weirdly I never agreed with the unifying truscum tenet of needing dysphoria to be trans (like how I am going to know if any random trans person bothering everyone in the office has the requisite amount of dysphoria or not?), but I found them more likely to recognize their birth sex as a material reality, not insist they belong in anyone's dating pools, and not try to break down sex segregated spaces by brute force, though it was never a guarantee. If that has changed and I need to recalibrate, that's a shame.

Most of them support beliefs that have no basis in science. E.g. "I literally have a male brain in a female body, I was meant to be born male," "I am female and always have been, but I was assigned male at birth," and the belief that taking sex hormones to change fat distribution genuinely gives them a body of the opposite sex.

I took a look at r/truscum, and yeah, you're right. It's not the more logical, biology-recognizing people that I remember, and it does just genuinely read as "not like the ~other~ trans." I genuinely don't see any difference between this and any other trans sub except sometimes they complain about other trans people.

They’re every bit as misogynistic as all the others for one thing.
