I feel bad for the truscum, I really do. I think we have more in common than we'd like to realize.

Honestly, if it wasn't such a mouthful, I'd like it if we were really LGBDropTheTucutesAGPsFujoshisandTrenders because although I disagree with them in some aspects, there's a lot of stuff in /r/truscum that I think most here would agree with. Namely, the co-opting of "queer" identities by bored straight people is terrible for both our communities.

Better not. I do understand where you're coming from, but although they do seem to hold some similar views, they still hold very... Weird stanpoints on "being cisgender vs being trans". For example, I remember once that I read there that they said that a full OP trans person is literally, exactly the same as a cisgender person. So.... Nah. Better just to stick to same sex attraction, because being trans is just so different.

Yeah, I think many truscums believe in some sort of special threshold where the rule changes. If someone doesn't even try to pass as the opposite sex they agree with us: LG people won't feel attracted to these people. This at least is a more sane view than what TRAs in general believe.

But many truscums (though not all) believe that at some point this isn't true anymore. To them, if you transition enough and pass enough, then LG people have no reason to not feel attracted.

Still, overall I think we can at least have discussions with truscums, try to present our points, reason with them, etc. But if they dislike what TRAs do, if they dislike tucutes so much... Then they should be vocal about it. I know that truscums are often despised in LGBTQ+ communities but if they were more vocal it'd be harder to ignore them. People who dismiss everything we say because we're "cis" can't as easily dismiss them.
