Truscum and transmeds do have their set of problematic beliefs, to be sure. Some of them do truly believe it's possible to change sex, which doesn't help any of this.

They do at least understand the problem with trenders and tucutes and Q+ hijacking the movement. But they don't understand that their own lack of gatekeeping caused this.

If they had pushed harder about dysphoria being a true mental illness that needs medical support to find treatment/cure, and stuck with that ... we might not be in quite the mess we're in. I think they got complacent when they saw trans in general getting societal support, and didn't peek behind the curtain to see who or what was running things until too late.

I can sympathize with that.

I get annoyed when "TrueTrans" people say they just wanna live their lives quietly...well the community is in a mess thanks to opening it up to gender issues/rights, so they really haven't earned their retirement yet. They need to speak up just as loudly as the TRA's who they, quite frankly, have benefitted from.
