what happened

[boreal-sea]

I would like every transmed to know they are wrong.

Non-dysphoric trans people are trans, and they can go on hrt. It will not "prove you're actually cis" or "cause dysphoria". It has only made me happy.

I have to shave twice a week now. If I was a cis woman who cared about facial hair, I think I'd be pretty upset about this change, but I'm not. I love it.

[deathtokillian]

Yo just blocked a transmed that followed me, so now I feel like I have to make an announcement.

If you are a transmedicalist or truscum you are NOT welcome!! And can fuck right the fuck off! Idgaf.

[receivingtranny]

just saw a post saying that men shouldn't be allowed to become therapists because they *will* rape women/girls or at best... mentally ill women and girls *will always* catch inappropriate romantic/sexual feelings for a male therapist (not even gonna touch the flaming pile of internalized misogynistic shit lying within the later statement) and just...

what the fuck you guys.

like yeah fuck the "not all men" attitude that's just a fucking scapegoat abusive men love to say for why they never hold themselves or other men accountable, but actually *genuinely* saying all men will rape and abuse if they became a therapist does nothing to offer solutions that will actually make therapy safe for people.

because i'm sorry but i've had nearly 40 therapists in my life and unfortunately i've had a mix of really harmful experiences from both male and female therapists. the best therapist i had was actually nonbinary. the second and third best were male.

i've had both male/female therapists try to convert me to christianity and say my illness was god punishing me for sinning. i've had female therapists enable my father to continue being sexually/psychologically/physically abusive under the guise of "you're probably just being a dramatic teenage genderfuck" they didn't say genderfuck but they definitely thought my queerness had given some reason for why my dad should be the one to help "get me on the right track".

so i ask you radfem bioessentialists, in your utopia without male therapists, what's your solution for people like myself? multigender/nonbinary people who are seeking therapy, or *gasp* perhaps even schooling to become a therapist? do i get a female therapist because i was AFAB? or no since i identify as a man and have a penis now I must be planning on raping her so i'll need a male therapist. but wait, i'm AFAB and i identify as a woman so he must be planning on raping me. so another multigender AFAB person i'm guessing? wait but if i identify as a woman and a man... and they identify as a woman and a man... who's the one planning on raping the other in this situation? I just wanna make sure I know what to do here, being part man and all, is it in my nature to rape her? or is it his nature to rape me? or do we just rape ourselves all the time since we're both men and women simultaneously.

sorry not to sound like an asshole there at the end with the sarcasm, but like, i was human trafficked for several months and am now severly agoraphobic and even i'm not this terrified that everyone i meet is going to rape me. so idk man. get a grip? have some compassion beyond yourself? some critical thinking skills maybe?

People act like truscum stopped being a thing in 2020, when in reality truscum opinions have just all become mainstream for most binary trans people. If the average 2025 binary trans person talked to a queer rights activist in the 2010s, they would be called a transmed extremist. Like, trans women saying they were biologically female because of E used to be something you only heard in conservative Blaire White style circles, now it's something you hear from Marxist Leninists and anarchists. Nonbinary people can no longer trust binary trans people to be our allies.

The Comparison of Sysmedicalist and Transmedicalist: From a former Truscum.

The debate on the moral validity of the term “Sysmed” is repeatedly brought up within pro-endo and endo-neutral spaces. As a former Truscum, while I agree that the core of sysmedicalism and transmedicalism are not the same (dysphoria vs trauma), I feel that the arguments used to justify the projection of these beliefs are very similar to another. Transmeds and sysmeds are parallel in the use of fake claiming, black and white view of the science behind their arguments, and the idea that in order to be valid one must dislike their identity.

To begin with, the idea of sysmedicalism is on who is genuinely plural and who is not. Sysmedicalists are the gatekeepers of the system community; if you do not have trauma, you are immediately viewed as fake before you can defend yourself. If not fake, then sysmeds will be pushed that endos have trauma that they have repressed. This is an argument that can be seen through the disorders most anti-endos struggle with are inflicted in order to cope with past trauma. This is a standard view in the transmedicalist community in relation to gender dysphoria. If you are a non-dysphoric transsexual, you either are ignoring it or faking it. This is also an argument that can be understood: It’s very difficult to be transgender in an unaccepting society and an uncomfortable body, so repression may be done to cope. However, these arguments deny the fluidity of gender and plurality. They state that these things are intrinsic to struggle, and if you did not struggle then you are lying to yourself in one way or the other. It denies the liberation to label diverse experiences that do not fit in the perspective of these severely hurting people. In return, they use fake claims to express the insult they feel over the idea that someone is like them but not did not endure the same they did. Endogenics are not claiming to have a dissociative disorder, they are claiming plurality. Nondysphorics are not claiming to have gender dysphoria; they are claiming transgenderism. These things, again, are not exclusive to trauma or gender dysphoria. The term plural was made with the intent to self-identify and find liberation beyond the binary view of gatekeepers, as was the term transgender, which was made without medical transition in mind. Sysmeds and transmeds also argue that these “fakers” are taking up vital resources needed by those who are suffering. This is entirely unfair, as the reason these resources are limited is because of the lack of acceptance of both things, which the plural and transgender acceptance movements have opposed. “Trenders are taking surgeries they don’t need!” is matched against “Endos are taking DID specialist they don’t need!” and the only reason behind them is that it’s the only area they can find acceptance even if it’s inside strict spaces like needing gender dysphoria diagnosis and needed trauma. Truscum and Sysmeds have some responsibility for upholding these views on ourselves by pushing how plural and transgender experiences are completely disordered and only bring misery; obviously, seeing this come from them would cause cis and singlets to believe our so-called wrongness. Those who do not appeal to the painting of wrongness must be faking right? In my experience, and this is entirely on perspective, I was influenced to be anti-endo and anti-tucute by cringe culture that circled Fake DID videos and Transgender Cringe videos. Even while I was singlet, I denied my own plurality because I was afraid of being like those I saw in the videos. While I was truscum, I denied my genderqueerness because I didn’t want to prove these horrible transphobes right. I recognize now how often Anti-endos and truscums bring up cringe subreddits to back up their points, and it reminds me of my fear back then. In order to accept myself, I had to break free from the bars put up by society and those within the community. As always, this met with backlash, but I realized that either way, I would be despised for being who I was. Truscum and Anti endos put up this illusion that the people they hate are the reason for systems and trans people being even more stigmatized when in reality the oppressor is going to hate us all the same. Calling the ones who don’t fit in “fakes” is not going to make you “one of the good ones”, and the fact that both truscum and sysmeds are against acceptance movements is hypocritical in their stigma argument. 

--------

-------

To continue, it’s often that sysmedicalist warp their argument to make it seem that endogenics are claiming to have DID without trauma. Their sources are almost always DID articles rather than articles of plurality which back up endogenic existence. Doctors who are in favor of endogenic existence are perceived as ignorant of dissociation and for the denial of resources to those in need. In science, it must be met with an open mind and the possibility for more. Research is constantly shifting and changing, and the medical paradigm is never stagnant. How does this compare to a transmedicalist however? The sources they use to justify their argument are just gender dysphoria articles that don’t include the full range of transgender people. The perspective they have is closed around sources with obvious limits when the proof against them is open minded and includes professionals they deem as liars. Personally, I never understood why they would both say how ableist the realm of psychology is towards systems yet use its strictness to hurt other systems.

--------

---------

Furthermore, misery is at the core of both of these beliefs, and to which I understand these beliefs come from both fear, feelings of powerlessness, and self-loathing. To refute endogenics, anti endos bring up how miserable it is to be a system. They push their preference to be singlet and final fuse as a reason for why they are actually plural. This is familiar to transmedicalists; there is a video by Kalvin Garrah where he states that if he had the option to be a cisgender girl, he would do anything for it, as dysphoria is one of the highest forms of suffering. He argues that in order to be actually transgender, you would have to hate being trans. These feelings are valid to oneself yes, but they are projected onto endogenics and non-dysphorics as an answer to why they don’t exist. Plural and Transgender joy is rejected in these spaces because it goes against the guidelines they follow in order to be valid. If your entire existence is only because of disorder and pain, then if you’re happy in it, aren’t you as bad as the others? These are traumatized people who go after others in order to uplift themselves and appeal to singlets and cisgender people. These spaces have intersected because of how similar the arguments are(This is not to say that there isn’t an exclusionist issue within endo spaces, there definitely is, but what they are doing is just hypocrisy), and they constantly feed off gatekeeping to make themselves feel valid enough.

-------

-------

In conclusion, truscum and sysmeds use fake claiming, closed-minded arguments, and projection of misery to debate why those who are unlike them are illegitimate. The medicalization of transgenderism and plurality compared to the push of acceptance is going to instead further the stigma. This essay was written to compare the two in the sense of their use of arguments, not to say that they are purely the exact same, even at the core. This essay is open to discussion as I would like to improve my writing for the future. The future is plural, which is why we fight.

I’ve seen a lot of transmedicalist garbage recently and I have to remind you all

We are not fighting for the right to conform

We are fighting to not have to conform to be accepted by society

We are fighting for the right for everyone to exist how they want

Medical transition is not required to be trans, and is often inaccessible

Social transition is enough for many trans people.

Who are you to police what anyone does with their body

[lust-for-ultraviolence]

Transmedicalism is the idea that being transgender is primarily a medical issue related to the incongruence between an individual's assigned sex at birth and their gender identity, characterized by gender dysphori.Many transmedicalists believe individuals who identify as transgender without experiencing gender dysphoria or desiring to undergo a medical transition through methods such as hormone replacement therapy or sex reassignment surgery are not genuinely transgender.They may also exclude those who identify themselves as non-binary from the trans label.

Exclusionist is someone who attempts to gatekeep the LGBT+ community by claiming that certain groups aren't "really" LGBT+ based on their own definition.

Example, asexual people are not lgbt for being asexual, they must be either trans or homo/bi-romantic. A cis het ace is not welcomed into the community. They also usually believe pansexual is a transphobic version of bisexual.

These are shortened definitions.

If this poll causes too much trouble, I’ll delete it.

[trans-bastard-dude]

oh great i saw something that made me mad, buckle up it’s rant time.

Transmedicalism is dumb. the idea that we have to tie shit to medical bs is dumb. you don’t need gender dysphoria to be trans, that’s fucking stupid

“but you’re making trans people look bad” we already look bad. being trans is a form of being queer. lgbt were called queer as a slur at the start, queer fucking means WEIRD. we are, in the society as it stands, fucking weirdos. own it. be the weird bastard you were born to be

“but being trans has lead to me suffering so much it must be a medical thing!” nah. you suffer because your situation is utter ass. i do not need to fit into your silly ass box to be trans, i’m me and me trans. you’re dysphoria and situation being terrible doesn’t mean everyone else’s should be.

the idea that dysphoria is needed to be trans is also dumb because like… cis people get it to. let’s say for example that a woman gets a double mastectomy due to cancer, she might feel like shit after and feel better after getting breast implants, that’s a form of gender dysphoria, but she ain’t trans is she?

and it only takes certain types of dysphoria and euphoria into account, like what about the tran gals who feel the most like women when they’re being tomboys? it’s all just so… STUPID

like come ON, why do i need to suffer to be? i suffer enough, let me be me. if you class your existence by your suffering, you will die a broken person. i do not need to suffer to be a man.

if you follow my page and are a trans med, truscum, whatever the fuck you call yourselves, leave and don’t let the door hit you on your way out.

may this post become a blocklist for all those who are sane as i am.

"real trans men want to go on hrt" "real trans men want surgery" "real trans men only present masculine" shut uppp omfg literally the only requirement to be a man is that you must be swift as a coursing river, with all the force of a great typhoon, with all the strength of a raging fire, mysterious as the dark side of the mooooon

[scrimbly-mc-scrombly-iii]

transmeds when they realize invalidating and being transphobic towards other trans people won’t make transphobic cis people accept them

[angelic-transsexual]

"if you could be cis, would you ?"

not i fucking wouldn't. not at all. that shit is not me. sure you can be trans and wish to be cis but simply not all trans people want to be cis. if i was a cis man i wouldnt have the life and experience i do. i see nothing wrong with being trans and neither should you. i actually did want to be cis. when i was a trans med. i only felt this way because i had self hatred and hated being trans. trans medicalism is harmful to every trans person, even trans meds themselves. a lot of trans meds have some sort of internalized transphobia. when i first came out at 15 i was shamed and basically told i wasn't "really trans" because i was feminine and not masculine. that shit is harmful. gender dysphoria isn't even exclusive to trans people. some cis people CAN have gender dysphoria. this is not a requirement to be trans. when i was a trans med i also thought there was only 2 genders. but i had to unpack that shit and so should you. because the statement that "there's only 2 genders" is rooted in colonization. you are supporting a colonizer idea. i love being a gay transsexual, i would not want to be cis. i am who i am because of things like being gay, trans, autistic, etc. and no i am not "making things my whole personality." taking pride in all of my identities is not me "making it my whole personality." there's trans people without gender dysphoria. just like theres cis people with gender dysphoria. and no, medical transition is not a requirement. trans does not mean transition. plus not everyone can afford such things. trans meds please rethink your ideas and see how harmful they actually are.

Trans isn’t a Neurological disorder, transmeds are just neurotrenders :)

FUN FACT: Gender incongruence (or being trans) isn't a neurological disorder and transmeds are hypocrites who love being neurotrenders by falsely claiming they are neurologically disordered because the 70+ articles they source-dumped said so (the articles didn’t lol)

How to call out transmed lunacy: 

STEP 1: Inform them about the WHO’s ICD-11, the APA’s DSM-V, the WPATH’s Standards, and other equivalents like the APA (the psychological one) and the WMA’s consensus on dysphoria being a requirement (hint, they all ruled dysphoria ISN’T a requirement).

if not enough, 

STEP 2: Ask them if they paid top-dollar to get an MRI scan to “prove” their neurological illness. I GUARANTEE you they’ll say no cuz 

MRIs are Incredibly Expensive, and

Insurance companies ain’t gonna cover an MRI for some whiny transmed trying to prove that they are “trans-brained”.

MRI’s can’t find “brain transness” cus it doesn’t exist

Hospitals and clinics have to use MRI’s on people with, y’know, ACTUAL or POTENTIALLY REAL neurological problems!!

Have fun being hypocrites idk, keep that nonsense to urself lmao

I don't know why people like Contrapoints. I mean I know why, she's charismatic and is good at convincing right wing people to look into the left (sometimes, more so in the past). But it's very clear her view of trans people and trans rights only includes passing binary trans people.

Like, her entire "transtrender" video, where she has a Douge Walker style clipless review of whether or not nonbinary people deserve to exist. The first part is literally a fake debate with herself, where the version of her playing an enbyphobe makes actual arguments, and the version of her arguing for trans rights is a cartoonish stereotype of a nonbinary person that the audience is meant to laugh at, that wouldn't be out of place in a Steven Crowder skit. Then after the fake debate, she has a centrist voice of reason explain to her sympathetic transphobe character that passing is what makes trans people valid.

Like, if you're ok with that, would you be ok if she made a video called "cripples" where she played a eugenics supporter making actual pro eugenics arguments, and the character (also played by her) arguing for disability rights is a parody of how disabled people look and act? If you wouldn't be ok with that but you're ok with her transtrender video, might I ask why it's more ok for you to argue against one groups rights but not another's? And this is just one video I'm talking about, have you seen her entire shitty voting video which treats leftists like children that need to be taught to fall in line? Have you seen her newest video where she claims being male or female and being allo are inherent human traits?

And the worst part about being critical of her is she puts so much effort into making being critical of her hard. Like, doing Channel Awesome style sketches in your video essays is a very good way of taking stances without actually having to confirm that's what you believe. Or her canceling video, which while making some good point, frames all online criticism of her as a personal attack, which makes posts like this seem immoral to anyone reading them whose seen that video.

Maybe it's just the transandrophobia denial that seems to come from her way of thinking that's making all of this seem so real to me. Like, I don't want anything bad to happen to her, but if you're reading this, I want you to really consider why you and so many other people on the left consider her important, or why you want her to be the main voice of the trans community when her view of gender very specifically excludes people like me from having rights.

'You need dysphoria to be trans' motherfuckers when they realize the 'trender' they 'called out' for having xenogenders is a dysphoric trans person: erm actually you're still not trans cuz I don't understand you! >:(
