Social media really helped to peak truscum me. I used to think that they were the semi-sensible trans, because they know how to behave better in public than the trenders. In reality, knowing how to act just makes their ideology all the more insidious.

Glad I'm not the only one...I used to be a fan of Blaire White, but I can see completely through this trans façade. Those types of trans people(transmedicalists), might seem more "reasonable" but they're still part of a hurtful ideology. I see this ideology as grossly misogynistic/misandristic as well as homo/biphobic.

If they are legitamentally struggling, then I can understand, as I detransitioned myself and was raised in a toxic environment and had different cultural expectations. I just wish the T knew they don't need to transition(there are still some countries that force transitioning for homosexual people)...They need to get help for it(no shame in that). There's also a Swedish study that trans individuals who get surgery have a high suicide rate, to prevent that, I think we should talk to the those who are considering transitioning and advise of the dangers and side effects of it and let them know it's OK to be gender non-conforming or homosexual/bisexual.

Sources: The gay people pushed to change their gender; SEXUAL ‘CLEANSING’ Iran is forcing thousands of gay people to have gender reassignment surgery against their will or face execution

  • Note: One of the articles claims that Iran is not 'forcing' sex reassignment surgery, but that people are pressured into it, while the other suggests the opposite---people are gettinng force to 'cleanse' homosexuality. I wanted to provide both articles for slightly different perspectives.

Later he moved to Canada and set up a support group, the Iranian Railroad for Queer Refugees.

I can't really criticize him considering that he's a gay man that escaped that horrible situation and is now trying to help fellow gay/lesbian people who are going through a similar situation.

But I can't help but wonder, gosh, that name is in bad taste. The whole point of the article is that they go through all these issues precisely because they're gay and lesbian. Trans and queer people wouldn't go through the same situation. They are gay and lesbian refugees.

What is truscum?

The transgender community is split into a couple camps - truscum would've been your older-school transexuals who still believe you need dysphoria to be trans - they call themselves transmedicalists. Tucutes (seriously not kidding on the names these guys chose for themselves and their "enemy") are the heterosexual AGPs (for the most part) who are pro-self-id, anyone/everyone is trans! crowd. They don't like the truscum for being "gatekeepers."
