but please don't mistake that for sympathy with transmedicalists, because they are the worst.

What do you mean by this? Trans people that recognize they're mentally ill and that they don't redefine the sex binary are miles better than tucutes

Both groups are definitely problematic (sorry for the wokeie term, but it fits) but for different reasons. Transmeds think they can rewrite the fabric of their bodies with drugs, surgery, etc. to project a facsimile of the opposite sex. Tucutes think they can rewrite the fabric of society and human experience with language/thought policing, cancel culture, etc. to project a fantasy of the opposite sex. Both are irredeemably toxic movements. The only "trans" that wasn't was the pre-2000's time when being a "gay, boy, transwoman" (to quote Marsha P. Johnson) was not seen as an oxymoron.

Not to mention both can influence kids in negative ways but the Transmed approach can cause irreversible physiological damage to developing children in a way that "tucutes" can't.

Perhaps so, but they still believe they are actually men/women with "different biology" - which completely contradicts the definitions of the two terms. Essentially they engage in doublethink. Miles better than cringey teenagers, but still far from the sanest

Transmedicalists adhere to extremely sexist notions "I'm a woman because I'm attracted to men and want to be submissive to them, therefore I have a female brain", believe in psuedoscience that has been disproven ("brain sex") and are EXTREMELY nasty to people with certain sexual medical conditions.

Also nobody has been a "tucute" since 2015. It was a stupid term taken off by a certain crazy user on Tumblr, who has since been accused of being a "cis woman posing as a trans woman" (??) and "tucute" simply referred to her followers/fans, not non-transmedicalist trans people.
