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.

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."
