Roughly speaking, it is someone who believes that trans people exist and are that way because they have a medical condition, gender dysphoria.

I think many/most believe it is solved with medical transition, but not all-- the "medical" part actually comes from the belief that being transgender is a medical condition.

This is in opposition to radfems' view, as I understand it, because I think radfems tend to believe that transgenderism doesn't exist and they are anti-trans in general.

Oh I see lol. I am neither a radfem nor transmedicalist. I was a former trans female so I see things a bit differently...

I don't really agree with either of them and how they go about certain things.

Edit: I forgot to say thank you for letting me know! I saw transmedicalist posted everywhere and had no clue what that was.

Aw no worries! I'm not radfem and I'm not sure how I feel about transmedicalism, either.

edit: Also super glad you were able to detrans/desist and make your way here :)
