"Welcome the the club" indeed.

I don't necessarily agree with all transmed/truscum beliefs, but they are the sane ones of the TQ+, and I do wish they were allowed a voice. Despite the colonization over the past years, they're the closest we have to the true transsexuals who were once a part of us. They can at least represent the trans community and their unique needs, and understand that T and LGB are different. If they could actually be allowed to represent the trans community, I feel like it would severely cut down on tucutes/trenders, as well as detrans. And they would allow actual legitimate medical and scientific research into dysphoria and what should be done about it, instead of just hug-boxing every identity.

Not just allowed a voice; They are so heavily outnumbered that they will have to be actively and specifically selected out of the T to be platformed above others. Otherwise, no chance. Because they also quieter, tend to keep to themselves more and so not naturally going to be grabbing anyone's attention.
