【☆】 BYF ⭑ This is a multifandom shitpost blog. I post ocs, occasionally fanfic and art, and any random ideas that I get.

⭑ I am 18, and I sometimes post 18+ content, typically without warning. I will try to keep anything NSFW under a cut and w/ a warning but do not expect it. Topics typically include: smut, drugs, relationship violence. If you are sensitive to these please leave.

⭑ Ships are fictional, and can only cause harm when someone is deliberately using a ship/media (regardless of what content is involved) to harm someone- which isn’t the fault of the ship or media but the person using it to harm. Ship what you want, I don’t care, it’s not my problem. For a lack of a better word, I am proship.

⭑ I believe in hazard consent (link for info).

⭑ I will complain about fandom shit on my account, and I will typically leave it untagged. If you see me complaining about something- It's just how I feel, and my feelings+opinions do not dictate if a media/ship is 'good' or 'valid'. With that being said, I am not a fan of heavy shipcourse, especially if it's with intention to harass, bully, or get someone off the platform for their ship. No one should be hurt for a ship.

⭑ I do not make post id's but will provide one upon request.

【☆】 DNI ⭑ Block don't report

⭑ I cannot stop nor do I care to stop if people like/reblog my content while they are on my DNI. All I ask is that if you are on my DNI, please don’t try to talk directly to me or follow me.

⭑ general Dni (homophobic, racist, ableist, etc), radqueer, truscum, transmeds + sysmeds, anti-ship. Wilbur Soot and Iskall apologist. ⭑ I block/delete unwanted comments freely.

꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ roleplay information ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦

-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ REQUESTS : ASK FIRST

⭑ I do not roleplay smut. Do not ask. I will block immediately if you do.

⭑ I am ok with 18+ RP (aside from ^^ ofc), but please discuss topics with me beforehand.

⭑ I will not start a roleplay immediately- please talk and plan things out with me.

⭑ Things I need prior to starting an RP: Fandom(s), Characters we are playing (main + side), what topics you’d want to engage with, potential triggers + things to avoid, general idea for a plot, schedules + timezones to discuss when we will be rping

⭑ If I do not schedule a time to RP then responses will be spaced as I am busy. It will be easier and more efficient to plan times to rp beforehand.

⭑ Generally don’t care about what level you write at, but please be literate and have semi-good grammar. I try to keep my responses over 4-5 lines of text unless the situation calls for less.

⭑ Please be willing to work with me! I want the RP to be 50/50- I wanna fulfill all your ideas as much as I want mine to be fulfilled, so lets work together and talk about it.

⭑ Ship RP + gen RP is all good with me, love oc’s and rewrites, I am chill with canon and non-canon but I may not be as canon as wanted. I don’t have a designated list of what fandoms/characters I will rp, but if I am not familiar enough then I will decline. If it’s not on the list below, I definitely won’t. Full original RP is cool, too.

Hiiii :3

John Doe side blog for (@misterredroom) (remember! I follow back with @akaiheya-mrr)

As you read you can call me John or Jonjon or even Doe!!! :3 I’m a happy John Doe irl and if you’re not ok with that then feel free to block or leave because I don’t have the time for youuuu!!

DNI:

Basic criteria (racist, lgbtphobe, transmed/truscum, anti neos/xenos, anti otherkin/irl/therian etc, anti yandere, ableist)

Antis/antiship/anti fiction/pro censorship (I believe fiction is fiction and it is very important to tell the difference between fiction and reality. And I believe people should not be harassed for things that they like and that censorship does not help but rather hides the fact that horrible things happen in real life)

Minors (remember, this blog can be +18 and I don’t want you to be seeing things you shouldn’t be looking at!! You can always blacklist the tags but better safe than sorry, so please wait until you’re older!!!)

If you make fun of someone for their interests

If you make fun of people for their irl types or forbid people from dating because of their irls/kintypes

BYI

Remember that I am TAKEN!!!! I have my own y/n and I love them so much!!! So if you’re here to get with me then I’m sorry but it’s not happening!!

Again for minors or anyone in general: This blog may contain themes that are extremely violent or even s3xu4l so please tread with caution or don’t look at my account!! Block me, blacklist tags, do anything you need to leave if you feel uncomfortable.

Again, I am a John Doe irl and people who are anti irl are not welcome here!!! (Actually why are you even here??) This is also something I cannot control, so please PLEASE don’t make fun of me for my irl type.

By the way I’m a feminine dude, but don’t be pervy to me!!!

Here’s a Google doc carrd thing because I can’t be bothered to make a carrd because it’s confusing (and another thing like carrd but I unfortunately forgot the name of it blehhh)

Includes my pronouns page as well so you know what to refer to me as and any other information that you should know :)

And I think that’s all I have to cover!! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy your stay!!!

[ask-the-gae-person]

Hello..

My brother insisted on me starting one of these accounts, though I'm not sure why.. Nor do I know what to expect. Nonetheless, here I am.

Some information about me,

My name is Kallik, a 28 year old, gay, asexual, that goes by she/him pronouns. I like reading, birds, rain, vulture culture, dark academia and suits.

I hope this will give you some information to go off of.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~★★~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Rules~

No homophobia, transphobia, or anything of the like. I will not stand for these things.

Gore is okay, as long as it's not too graphic, however, I do not want anything sexual.

Please be nice to me, and everyone else here, this is a safe space.

Outfit requests are alright, so are roleplay, as long as they don't break any rules above.

~DNI~

Pro-Isreal, anitsemites, neo nazis, transphobes/homophobes, purists, aphobes, transmeds, truscum, terfs/swerfs, anti-mogai, anti-endogenics, sysmeds, MAPS, anti contradicting labels, anti-kink.

Overall, just don't be problematic, please. Thank you.

Good Day!!

Welcome to the Traffic Delivery Service, here to serve your letter needs whether it be writing to someone, receiving a letter from them, or replies to such.

This delivery service is centered around 3rd Life, Last Life, and Double Life SMP. It is targeted towards Kins, IRLs/DAs, and introjects of any sort (fictives, factives, mixtives, canon divergent introjects, etc).

If you would like to have a letter sent to you, please provide your name, the name of the recipient, which source you/they are from, and any information or tone you’d like this letter to reflect.

You are more than welcome to send in letters yourselves. It will be tagged accordingly as to who it was sent by, and who it is intended towards. Any format is welcome, as long as it leans toward a letter format in the end. That means, please don’t go “SCREW YOU (so-and-so” in the mailbox.

Cursing is welcome here. Say shit, fuck, bitch, or anything else as much as you’d like. All is asked is that you please avoid slurs in general.

This service may plan to extend more than past letters, such as sending recipes or ‘packages’, but that is up for debate for the near future.

It is also highly suggested that you leave nsfw-related things as underdetailed as possible. The manager of this corner of the internet is a minor, and a is sex-repulsed aceflux. Letters that have some nsfw themes , if any, will be tagged with “#spicy habanera”.

This service is ran by one person, as of currently.

Hello! You can call me Mod Scott, or Mod Ren. I am a minor, and a fictionkin of a few characters within the Traffic SMPs. Specifically, c!Scott, c!c!Grian, and possibly c!Jimmy. I use they/it/daze/birch/blo/king + more. I am a (respectful) singlet , and I look forward to seeing as to how this account goes.

The DNI of this account consists of: usual DNI criteria (which means no discourse, MAPs, Proshippers, TERFs, Truscum/Transmeds, etc.) Syscourse is not welcome here either.

[wolfyweirdo]

Hi. I’m Fen/Wolf, I’m 20 and I’m alterhuman, POSIC+, autistic... and a buncha other stuff, but that’s about all I’m willing to put here. I use he/it pronouns and ‘the wolf’/wolfself pronouns. I’m trying to socialize a bit and get out there, so I thought I’d make a tumblr blog for these specifically (mostly cuz a lot of my friends don’t know about this stuff) I don’t bite, feel free to interact if you want to be friends & you can like this if you’d like to be moots, I’ll dm you the url I follow/like back from.

DNI and warnings under the cut.

DNI: -If you post lots of discourse of any kind. I don’t dislike being informed, I’m just easily overwhelmed and prone to doomscrolling. I may end up unfollowing mutuals that do this a lot. If you’d like to inform me of something (such as me interacting with someone shitty, I don’t mean to) you’re free to DM me though. -Transmed/TERF/Truscum/etc -Anti-MOGAI/neopronouns/etc -Proshipper/’fiction doesn’t affect reality’/etc. You make me really uncomfortable please respect my boundaries and don’t interact with me. -Purely NSFW/18+ blog. I’m an adult but I don’t like it. My account is SFW and there’s really no reason for you to follow me if your content is entirely NSFW material. Extended About, I guess: I’m alterhuman, specifically a psychological therian. A lot of my experiences are delusions, Please do not reality check me. I’m diagnosed and my therapist knows about all of this. I suppose some of my therianthropy is also spiritual. I have two boyfriends, two dogs, and a lot of stuffed animals. I’m POSIC(not objectum though, I don’t think) and emcom. I have a special interest in canines, and I love dog sports. Agility and flyball are some of my favorites. I love animals in general, but especially canines, please talk to me about canines oh my god. I’m also Wiccan and I have a stimboard blog for animals if you’d like to check that out?

[gendercrab]

Nice to Meet You <3

My name is Charlie, Sunny or Lykos! I go by a lot of other names as well.

My pronouns are it/its, they/them, pup/pupself and quite a few other neopronouns. We interact from @jayplat. I'm a dog! I'm alterhuman, an endel, otherkin and an aliaspecter. I have a lot of other identities not listed here.

As for MOGAI and LGBT+ identities, I'm transmasc gendercrab genderfluid pupgender and gender collector. I'm arospec asexual and biromantic.

info: 20s, autistic, amistic, physically disabled, POSIC.

This blog is where I coin gender terms, both for personal use and by request. If you want to request a term, feel free to send an ask!

Before you Interact please be aware I block exclusionists, TERFS, antikin, antiMOGAI, truscum, anti-objectum and others who make me uncomfortable.

BYI is only for direct interaction and DOES NOT APPLY to terms I coin. Any term I coin is free to use to all unless stated otherwise or created for a specific group of people, as I personally do not believe in locking gender identities behind walls

Honestly we are pretty lax on this, so even if you fit into categories we are uncomfortable with, it's okay to interact. The listed things we would very much appreciate you keeping distance though

Notes: we do not partake in shipping discourse on this blog. Please keep it off of my posts. I will not state my opinion on proship or antiship.

BYF: I am a host of a system. I am pro m-spec gay and lesbian. I'm a paraphile, but will not discuss that with anyone publicly or privately unless I know you or I reach out first. I am firmly anti contact and believe in recovery from what is possible to recover from. Check out my main account (@jayplat ) for more information.

Check out the tag #sunny coins

Check out the tag #my gender identity

Some tags For Genders I Coin

#posic companion gender terms this is for POSIC+ companion genders. They can only be used by sapient objects. (Check out @pupstash for our posic and objectum stuff!) HERE is a link to the POSIC gender collection, currently not being updated

#phasian system is to track all of the terms for the Phasian Gender System

#sunnys cat system is to track all of the gender terms related to cats, excluding "catgenders" (ex: Nonbinary Molly)

#transspecies I use this tag when I post new flags for transspecies folk! Currently I'm only focusing on canid folk but open to expanding!

#aliaspec is the tag I use for any posts regarding aliaspective identity HERE is the info carrd

[lithiumislost]

Hey there!

We're True Crime Come True, a system of unknown numbers.

Please don't treat us like the same person.

We're probably going to start signing posts; some of us might make sideblogs for ourselves

When we're co-fronting, we might banter and tease each other, it's all light-hearted, don't worry!

Dni under the cut

More About me/Views/Etc.

Hello everyone~! This post will explain more about me, my views, and anything I flnd important to add. This will be kinda long so please buckle up ;3 

General Information

Age: 19 

Gender: Demifluidflux trans guy 

Pronouns: He/him, they/them is cool too

Sexual orientations: Gay, Demisexual

Romantic orientations: Gay, Demiromantic

Alterous Orientation: Homoalterous

Other: Polyamorous

Relationship status: Taken

I love anime, video games, drawing, singing, and just browsing the web. I like to learn new topics, and explore new ideas and sciences. I want to be a therapist someday, but if it doesn’t happen, that’s chill too. I’m polyamorous currently in a monoamorous relationship. I don’t usually participate in discourse but I do have opinions/views on different topics. I am mentally ill and prefer not to be attacked. If I do something wrong or say something offensive, I don’t mean it, or I’m simply uneducated on the topic when I thought I was. I’m happy to take polite criticsm and never mean to do harm to others. So nothing I say is ill-intended. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Views on certain discourse topics

Aspec Discourse: I believe that aromantics and asexuals are inherently LGBTQ+ and should be welcomed. However, it’s up to them if they choose to identify with LGBTQ+ or not. 

Nonbinary discourse. Yes there are more than two genders. And no it doesn’t mean “Neither male or female” Nonbinary means: “Not explicitly a single binary gender” Which can mean someone can be both binary genders, one binary gender and other nonbinary genders, no binary gender, etc etc. So yes. I CAN be a guy and nonbinary. 

Xenogenders: I may not be able to comprehend it 100% But I KNOW that gender is diverse and confusing and you can label your gender however you want. Just be you! You have my support.

Nonbinary Gays/Nonbinary lesbians: YES nonbinary people can be gay or lesbian. Many of them are nonbinary women or men. Meaning they identify with womanhood/manhood no matter how that is. Maybe they have a primarily woman or man gender, maybe they’re man/woman aligned. Whatever. You do not get to dictate who is gay enough or lesbian enough :) 

(NO)MAPS: Are scum. Do not interact, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.If you support them then get the f**k off my blog please! I am a CSA survivor and will NOT tolerate pedophilia.

Am I a transmed/truscum? Am a tucute?: Well, no. I’m none of those. I do not believe dysphoria is required to be trans. As many studies show gender incongruence is all you need, dysphoria manifests in some trans people as a result of incongruence. Gender euphoria also exists. This is not a topic I would like to debate. However, I do believe that dysphoria or incongruence should be medicalized in SOME form in order for trans people to be able to get gender affirming treatments. (Hormones, surgeries). I would love to live in a world where those things are free regardless, however :/ (P.S. I am dysphoric)

Kink/BDSM: Well. I participate in BDSM and kink, but I do not post about it or discuss on my blog. I have spaces for that and this isn’t one of them. So no worries about running into any kinky posts on my blog. That wont happen. If it ever does, it was an accident. 

Transtrenders: I DO believe that RARELY, some cis people will pretend to be trans, not necessarily as a “trend” but to gain something in return, usually online. They may use it as an excuse to chase other trans people, or to have more “power” in a trans based argument. However, when people are accused of being trenders, they are usually not, they are just not what YOU feel gender should be. And people who fear they’re trenders? Impossible. You would know if you were faking. 

Self Diagnosis: I’m divided on this. You shouldn’t self diagnose many things. Like a heart condition, or cancer, or other extremes. But if you know you’re depressed all the time and can’t see a therapist, you probably have depression. If you haven’t been diagnosed with PTSD but experienced something trauamtic and show symptoms of PTSD, You probably have PTSD. If you were confirmed to likely have a certain mental illness but perhaps didn’t fit the “age requirements” for said diagnosis, you can probably take that as an unofficial diagnosis. As long as aren’t flaunting it to seem “cool” (and most don’t) and are using those self dx’s to find help resources online and such, you’re probably good. 

Fujoshis: Touchy topic I know. I do not agree when this word is used in specific contexts.

1) when girls think MLM relationships are “hot/sinful/sexy/dirty” , especially IRL MLM relationships, I think that’s fetishization, much like how many cishet men view WLW relationships  2) when it’s directed as a hate word towards gay trans men. I’ve been called a fujoshi for being a gay trans guy, and many of you probably have to. It’s wrong y’all. Gay trans men are gay men. Gay nonbinary men are gay men. 

Pansexual vs. Bisexual: Both are valid labels. All multisexual labels are valid. Labels are for you to feel comfortable with, and as long as you aren’t choosing one over the other due to biphobia/internilized homophobia, you’re probably good. Bisexual attracted to all genders? Valid. Pansexual with preferences? valid. Bisexual attracted to many genders? Valid. Pansexual and feeling attraction regardless of gender? Valid. Bisexual and identify the same way? Valid! 

Genital preference: Another touchy topic! The sad truth is that genitals DO matter to many people. Maybe it’s from truama, or an actual repulsion to a genital set. However, it should never EVER be used to excuse transphobia. You can not want to date a trans person who is pre-op, that’s fine, your loss not theirs. However, you cannot use that genital preference to see them as lesser, or as not “real” men/women. I personally have a preference for penises, but it’s only a preference. I would still potentially date a trans guy who is pre-op or never-op, but I prefer penises. But as I’m also gay, I likely wouldn’t date a trans woman who is pre-op/no-op. Because well, she’s a woman. So to summarize, genital preferences are OK as long as you aren’t a dick about it, or transphobic. :) 

Trans people and gender conformity: Alrighty. This is a favorite topic of mine. Do trans people owe gender conformity? Do nonbinary people OWE people androgyny? Nope. Cisgender people are gender-nonconforming all the time without dysphoria. We see butch cis women and Fem cis dudes all the time. So I say, why do trans men and women owe something different? While it is true that early in transition being GNC CAN cause dysphoria, that isn’t always the case. Early in transition I usually avoided feminine things and interests unless I was in the comfort of my home, but now I’m open to, and embrace my feminine and androgynous side. I’m in no way a woman, I just happen to enjoy some stereotypical feminine things. Many trans men do. As for nonbinary people, they can present however they want. Androgynous, feminine, masculine, fluid presentation, mixing it up, genderf**k, whatever. Their body, their choice. Sometimes you may be able to “tell” someone is nonbinary by looking at them, and that’s totally okay. There is no “looking nonbinary”. All looks on a nonbinary person are nonbinary. 

Anti/Anti-Anti?: Honestly I’m still confused in all of that stuff. Fiction CAN and HAS affected reality. That’s not to say that you can’t enjoy certain thinsg seen as “taboo” but there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed. PEDOPHILIA. You should not write, nor consume, fiction that presents a CHILD with an ADULT. It’s true that some pedophiles will write these to bring minors in and harass them. Even then, it gives stories for those sick f**ks to read. Do you REALLY want a pedophile reading your story? I guess I’m anti-ish. You can enjoy things that are otherwise problematic as long as you don’t let it affect how you treat people in the real world. Maybe you liked reading that fictional story about kidnapping and got off to it or something weird like that, as long as you aren’t trying to kidnap anyone or shit like that, I guess you do you, keep it to yourself though.

“NB” - Nonbinary or Non-black?: I went with POC voices on this. I will no longer use “NB” to mean nonbinary on my blog. You will likely just see “nonbinary” or “enby” used by me. 

Aspec, autistic spectrum or Asexual/aromantic spectrum?: I’ve seen very little evidence or claim on the side of “autistic spectrum” being the term. Many responses ive seen and sources claim it means asexual/aromantic spectrum, and has even been echoed by autistic people, a lot of them. If I see evidence suggetsing otherwise, I’m happy to change my language. I don’t want to be ableist. 

Butch/Femme, lesbian terms only?: I say no. I’ve seen a lot of articles, personal accounts, and history on the use of butch and femme. And none suggest they were terms only used by lesbians. From what I can tell, this idea seemed to be spread by “radical” lesbians and TERF’s. In history, many lesbians tried to distance themselves from all men, and encouraged non-lesbian women not to associate with men. This is obviously just a small tidbit of what they did in that time. However, I personally don’t use butch or femme, and don’t really plan to.

Specifically “weird” or crazy seeming kinks/BDSM styles: All I say is, you do you. If all parties are adults and consent to it, good on you. Just, keep it to yourself or in spaces dedicated to those things. As long as you don’t get off to ACTUAL CHILDREN, or try to bone or jerk it to an animal, you’re probably okay. Also don’t do incest, that stuff is bad. 

!!If there’s a discourse topic you’d like to see here, you can PM me or send me an ask. I’m happy to shed my opinions on stuff, but they will go here!!

“You don’t need dysphoria to be transgender.”

“You don’t need dysphoria to be trans.” 

This is a sentence that can make people feel strongly. This is a sentence that has sparked up countless debates. People push and pull on either side of the argument until the sentences exchanged dissolve into petty insults; into worthless exchanges. No one seems to get anywhere.

I think the biggest problem here is that lots of people see this as an open debate, when in reality there truly is only one correct side. This correct side has scientific analysis and data to back up their reasoning, while the other side simply makes claims based off of their own opinions of what exactly gender is. Definitions are not taken into account. Data is not taken account. The only thing taken into account is one’s own warped definitions, opinions, and sick ideas of “inclusivity.”  

Another problem that usually arises is truscum leave areas of the conversation open, instead of closing and filling in all of the gaps. This leads tucutes to jab at areas where the argument has not yet been developed, only briefed upon for fleeting moments. They take words and twist them, purposefully misunderstanding them to make up for their lack of any real argument.

So here, in this post, I will leave nothing up to debate (well, you can still express your opinion and explain why or why not you agree or disagree with me, but factually, I will be correct), I will tie all loose ends. I will cite my sources and be thorough. I will fill in the gaps.

Truscum, terf, tucute, feminist, transphobe, lgbt, cishet, and so on, I welcome you all to read this post and give me your input.

Now, onto the main post: You need dysphoria to be transgender.

Firstly, let’s get some definitions out of the way.

Google defines the word “Transgender” as, ‘denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex.’

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the word as, ‘of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity differs from the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth; especially : of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity is opposite the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth.’ (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transgender)

“Gender” is defined by Google as, ‘the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).’

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “Gender” as, ‘the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex.’

The term “Gender Dysphoria” is defined by Google as, ‘the condition of feeling one's emotional and psychological identity as male or female to be opposite to one's biological sex.’

And by Merriam-Webster Dictionary as, ‘a distressed state arising from conflict between a person's gender identity and the sex the person has or was identified as having at birth; also : a condition marked by such distress.’

Keep in mind (tucutes especially), I am not choosing to define these words the way that they have been defined. These definitions have been worded carefully and are based upon factual evidence. How you or I may define these terms is irrelevant, because these are the correct definitions, and they have already been decided upon. Unless new data comes up stating otherwise, which I doubt will happen, these definitions are static.

Now that we have defined these key terms, we should move on to the argument, and it’s simple, this sentence will sum it up: You need dysphoria to be transgender.

Why, though? Isn’t being transgender just an identity? And can’t anyone identify as whatever they please? And after all, gender is on a spectrum, and non-dysphoric transgenders aren’t hurting anyone. Maybe truscum should stop being gatekeepers---the LGBT community doesn’t need that kind of negativity.

These are common arguments I see tucutes making. First, I’m going to address the “why?”

Now, my favourite place to gather information from is the DSM. If you’re not already aware, the DSM stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM) (and before we go any further, I do want to say that the DSM I’m using for reference is two editions out of date. The current version of the DSM does not include transgenderism in it, as the DSM stopped considering it a mental illness in 2013 [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/where-transgender-is-no-longer-a-diagnosis/]. Furthermore, recently the WHO (World Health Organization) changed the classification of transgenderism, following in the DSM’s footsteps, just five years after the fact. However, despite the fact that my references are slightly out of date, I assure you they are reliable sources, and that the diagnosis that I present is still valid.) The DSM is basically just a big book of diagnoses for any and all mental illnesses. It is a book used religiously by psychiatrists, and me too.

The DSM I’ll be using for reference is the DSM-III (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-009-9562-y) (which by the way, links countless references that you can check out.) In this book, we see the diagnostic criteria for transsexualism (transgenderism, GID, GD, or GI, whichever term you choose to use is fine. Though some of these terms may be classified as out of date, they all mean the same thing) as (a) sense of discomfort and inappropriateness about one’s anatomic sex, wish to be rid of one’s own genitals and to live as a member of the other sex, the disturbance has been continuous (not limited to periods of stress) for at least 2 years, absence of physical intersex or genetic abnormality, not due to another mental disorder, such as Schizophrenia.

Here what we see is what I’ll call The Pattern of Distress.

Now, if the criteria provided by the DSM doesn’t cut it for you, then let’s take a look at some other symptoms of transgenderism.

Psychology Today has this to say about transgenderism.

‘Gender dysphoria (formerly gender identity disorder) is defined by strong, persistent feelings of identification with the opposite gender and discomfort with one's own assigned sex that results in significant distress or impairment. People with gender dysphoria desire to live as members of the opposite sex and often dress and use mannerisms associated with the other gender. For instance, a person identified as a boy may feel and act like a girl. This incongruence causes significant distress, and this distress is not limited to a desire to simply be of the other gender, but may include a desire to be of an alternative gender.’

(https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/conditions/gender-dysphoria)

Now, what I want to address first is what I called the Pattern of Distress.

From each symptom of transsexualism, we see one consistent thing: Distress is caused by one’s biological sex. This is the key symptom of transsexualism, and this distress is otherwise known as Gender Dysphoria.

“A sense of discomfort and inappropriateness:” Distress. “Wish to be rid of one’s own genitals:” Distress. “The disturbance is continuous:” Distress.

All of these symptoms include distress. This distress is Gender Dysphoria, which is needed to transgender. You know why? Because distress is a key symptom of being transgender, and distress is equivalent to Gender Dysphoria.

Transgenderism and Gender Dysphoria are synonymous. Which is another thing I want to briefly touch on. In the medical world, these two words are, more or less, the same, and warrant the same diagnosis.

So, I think I’ve proved my point significantly. There’s no way around it: Gender Dysphoria is needed to be transgender.

Now, let’s move on to arguments I see tucutes commonly using. The most used argument that I’ve seen is anyone can identify themself however they please. The only way to be transgender is to identify as it. However, this argument lacks any evidence to support it.

Firstly, this implies that being transgender is simply a choice. If all you have to do is identify as transgender to be transgender then hypothetically, anyone could be transgender. And then, if being transgender is a choice, that would mean that it’s not a serious condition, and therefore things like top surgery, bottom surgery, and HRT would no longer be covered by insurance, and would be classified as cosmetic procedures. There would also no longer be a medical diagnosis for transgenderism, and it would not be a valid disorder, because, after all, you can just identify yourself as transgender and then you are. By that logic, being transgender is clearly just a choice and a choice does not warrant the need for a diagnosis.

Furthermore, what would be the incentive for people to not discriminate against people who identify themselves as transgender? After all, who would make a conscious decision to become the other gender. Who would pay thousands of dollars to mutilate themself in an irreversible way. Who would want those pink, puffy scars on their chest, or the pain of taking hormones? Surely only a freak would. So again I ask: What would the incentive be? (Also any discrimination would not even be classified as such because being transgender would a choice.)

See, this wishy washy idea that anyone can be transgender as long as they identify that way is extremely dangerous. It’s important to consider the consequences before we decide that being blindly all-inclusive is a good idea. We must consider the risks that these ideas pose. All of them.

But, now, let’s go into why someone can’t just identify as transgender and...be it.

First we must ask the question: Why is someone transgender? What makes this disorder valid?

The simple answer here is that there is an observable neurological difference between the transgender brain, and the cisgender brain.

‘In particular, researchers are identifying similarities and differences between aspects of the structure and function of the brains of trans- and cisgender individuals that could help explain the conviction that one’s gender and natal sex don’t match.

The results may not have much effect on how gender dysphoria is diagnosed and treated, notes Baudewijntje Kreukels, who studies gender incongruence at VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam. “It’s really important that it will not be seen as, ‘When you see [gender dysphoria] in the brain, then it’s true.’” But the insights from such research could go a long way toward satisfying the desire of some transgender people to understand the roots of their condition, she adds. “In that way, it is good to find out if these differences between them and their sex assigned at birth are reflected by measures in the brain.”’ (https://www.the-scientist.com/features/are-the-brains-of-transgender-people-different-from-those-of-cisgender-people-30027)

‘Several studies have looked for signs that transgender people have brains more similar to their experienced gender. Spanish investigators—led by psychobiologist Antonio Guillamon of the National Distance Education University in Madrid and neuropsychologist Carme Junqu Plaja of the University of Barcelona—used MRI to examine the brains of 24 female-to-males and 18 male-to-females—both before and after treatment with cross-sex hormones. Their results, published in 2013, showed that even before treatment the brain structures of the trans people were more similar in some respects to the brains of their experienced gender than those of their natal gender. For example, the female-to-male subjects had relatively thin subcortical areas (these areas tend to be thinner in men than in women). Male-to-female subjects tended to have thinner cortical regions in the right hemisphere, which is characteristic of a female brain. (Such differences became more pronounced after treatment.)’ (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-there-something-unique-about-the-transgender-brain/)

The cause of these neurological differences is not yet known, and it is extremely difficult to pinpoint where they stem from, however, it is speculated that it starts from the development of the baby in the mother’s womb.

‘One prominent hypothesis on the basis of gender dysphoria is that sexual differentiation of the genitals occurs separately from sexual differentiation of the brain in utero, making it possible that the body can veer in one direction and the mind in another. At the root of this idea is the notion that gender itself—the sense of which category one belongs in, as opposed to biological sex—is determined in the womb for humans. This hasn’t always been the scientific consensus. As recently as the 1980s, many researchers argued that social norms in how we raised our children solely dictated the behavioral differences that developed between girls and boys.’ (https://www.the-scientist.com/features/are-the-brains-of-transgender-people-different-from-those-of-cisgender-people-30027)

So, if there is a clear difference between the brain of a cisgender person and of a transgender, and this clear difference is the cause of Gender Dysphoria, then that means that you cannot just identify as trans and just be it. You must have the transgender brain (which causes Gender Dysphoria) to be trans.

Now, onto the whole, “gender is on a spectrum” myth.

There’s this idea that’s been going around that is less than factually correct, yet it spread like wildfire simply because it allowed Tumblr’s narrative on gender to flourish.

Is gender on a spectrum? No. Biologically, there are only two genders, and there always will be. Now, I know some people will be happy to argue that gender is different from sex (I used to be one of those people), and while there are only two sexes, there can be millions of genders. And gender isn’t biological; it can shift and change...but this simply isn’t right. (Take a look at the definition of “Gender” again.)

You see, there is a clear difference between the male and female brain (this is part of the reason why transgenderism is valid.) An example of this is brainmass; a male brain is slightly larger than a female’s (for more information on the neurological differences between the sexes, you can read this wiki article, though it is a little dry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroscience_of_sex_differences.) And (with the exception of intersex people) you will either have a female brain or male brain. Your brain will usually correspond with your sex, the only exception to this is transgender people, who have a brain that acts more like that of the opposite sex.

Therefore, gender is not on a spectrum. Nor is is a feeling. Nor is it something that can shift or change. Gender is innate; biological; ingrained in you from birth. And though it’s fun to think that you can shift throughout the “gender spectrum,” and be a boy one day and a girl the next, it is impossible.

(I think people are mistaking gender with gender expression. These are two separate things.)

“But non-dysphoric transgenders aren’t hurting anyone. Let people live!”

See: Firstly, this implies that being transgender is simply a choice…

The last argument I’ve come across is that truscum are gatekeeping, and I’m gonna give it to you straight: We are. And we have to. You know why? Because we cannot blindly accept everyone into the trans community. The more we accept non-valid trans people into the community, the more we water down what it means to be transgender. The more we water down the severity of the condition. The more our community becomes a joke to society. And the more we are at risk to the demedicalization of transgenderism, to the shift of surgeries and HRT from medical procedures to cosmetic. The more we are risk to discrimination not even being classified as such.

All of these are things clear issues that come along with supporting a factually incorrect narrative. I understand that wanting to include everyone stems from a place of kindness; of not wanting to hurt anyone, but sometimes people need to be told “no.” They need to know where they belong and where they don’t, and they need to understand that being transgender is not quirky, cute, or fun. It’s a serious, painful disorder that is not to be taken lightly.

Hey, I don't wanna argue or anything but that post about the hormones and shit I just??? That's... The point of being interviewed for hormones, if you don't have dysphoria they don't prescribe unless you've lied. That person is not in the wrong at all, if they went into that field denying non dysphoric people hormones would kinda be their job? The point is to lower the amount of people who go on hormones and regret it and suffer the medical consequences. People who aren't dysphoric don't (1/2)

(2/2) need hormones? Dysphoria is a disorder, I don’t care what anyone says, I’m dysphoric and I can say for certain that my dysphoria is maladaptive thus a disorder, and the medicine for that disorder is hormones. You wouldn’t prescribe antidepressants to a non depressed person so why give hormones to someone who in all honesty, doesn’t need them? If they are unhappy with their body to where only hormones can fix it then hate to break it but…That’s dysphoria. I hope this doesn’t come off rudeOkay, dear, let’s break this down so maybe you understand where I am coming from.The point of being interviewed for hormones, if you don’t have dysphoria they don’t prescribe unless you’ve lied.That is the thing, though. Literally anyone can lied to get hormones if they percieve that is the only way they can get them and not everyone will want them because they fit into a especific kind of dysphoria. Someone that only ever experiences social dysphoria would have to lie. Someone that only has gender euphoria by presenting as another gender than the one assigned at birth would have to lie. If your therapist happen to be from the old school of transmedicalism and you happen to be non binary, you will have to lie too. Anyone whose dysphoria is weak, not present a lot of time, and is just a tiny bit of why they know hormones is the right way to them, being social dysphoria and/or gender euphoria much bigger factors, would have to lie too.People have always been doing this. It’s nothing new and it shouldn’t be encourage as the only way to help people. A therapist should help you to work out what is the best thing for you and they are not going to be able to do that if they ever want to hear just one story, and your actual story gets thrown out as “another trender.”If you narrow down gender dysphoria to it’s most clinal terms, meaning something that negatively impact your life to the point you can’t function anymore unless you transition (wich is a cruel ass requirement to ask of someone before they can get help, tbh), and this feeling has to be constant and present during at least six months, you are leaving outside a shit ton of people without resources, without support and without being able to do what they feel is right for them.That person is not in the wrong at all, if they went into that field denying non dysphoric people hormones would kinda be their job?I don’t know with what definition of gender dysphoria that person is going to “evaluate” their patients. They could do with the “you must HATE your sex to be able to transition.” It could be “you only feel distressed about your sex to be able to transition”. Or maybe “social gender dysphoria is unvalid and/or just sign of being Gender Non Conforming”. It could be a “disconnection betweet your brain sex and physical sex”. All of those are different version of the exact same thing that truscums have told me and they are not the same thing. And it doesn’t matter what defintion that person adheres to from those options, though, because all of them are going to inevitable going to left someone out, even if they fit all requirements with another person. It’s not strange that a single trans person has been denied prescription by a doctor and had to go to another, tell them the exact same thing they did with the previous one, and then get hormones. Trans people have always had to resort to things like that because there has always been gatekeeping, wich has lead to a lot of suffering on the trans community.Just because this person doesn’t think someone doesn’t need hormones, doesn’t mean that they don’t, actually. The mere fact that someone thought about it, asked an appointment and put the issue over the table means there is SOMETHING there and an actual good therapist should try to help you discover the best path to feel most authentic, not decide that you aren’t suffering enough to “deserve” hormones.The point is to lower the amount of people who go on hormones and regret it and suffer the medical consequences.No.That has never been the point. Whoever told you that has lied to you.If that was the point of medical gatekeeping, then there wouldn’t be any detransitioners ever. A lot of detransitioner people don’t even regret their transition, more so the negative effect that had on their life because of transphobic family, coworkers or society in general. If that were the point then no trans person ever who was denied medical treatment should have commited suicide because, after all, “they don’t really need it”, do they? If that were the point then there wouldn’t exist people who actually regretted it in the past, when requirements for transition were a lot more harder than now, but they do. If that were the point then no one would have had to lie.If that was the point, then places where the depatholigization of trans is already a thing, informed consent and medical trans care are of much easier access would be drown on those regretful people, but they don’t. I know. I live on one of them.That is just an excuse for gatekeeping for a system that if could, would not have trans people existing in the first place. Pretend as if put all trans people into this tighty neatly box where you have to need hormones THIS MUCH before you can dream on it is supose to help is ridiculous. People who aren’t dysphoric don’tneed hormones?Again, what people define as gender dysphoria itself is going to vary. You don’t get to define what a stranger need going by just one element of their whole character that by itself is an arbitrary thing. Maybe they don’t have either body gender dysphoria OR social gender dysphoria. Maybe they just have gender euphoria and when they get to present as their true gender, everything is great, fits into place, it’s exactly like it should be, and when they are forced back to their assigned gender is just dull, grey, nothing. And they don’t want to live on the grey, they want the colors and feel right, to everyone to stop forcing the grey on them. Do they “need” them or not? Or they first have to stop functioning before that?This not even taking into account things like how sexual trauma, neurodivergency and other factors can fuck up the relationship one has with their own body, so you are again priving them of any kind of help or support by not actually listen to them and what they might know is right for them. All of those things can either cause someone to not recognize/ignore the signs of dysphoria on them or to experience dysphoria only to discover later that transition wasn’t what they actually needed to do in the first place.If they are unhappy with their body to where only hormones can fix it then hate to break it but…That’s dysphoria. Hate to break to you, but that is wrong. If that is your entire idea of what dysphoria is, you are leaving people with less common symptoms of gender dysphoria out to deffend themselves. That is what medical gatekeeping has always done and is not a good thing.And no, you weren’t rude. If anything you have been the most considerate person with this stance that I have seen in a long time, so I appreciate. But please understand that your experience, althought perfectly valid and absolutely worthy to be listen to, is not universal and is not right impose it as such. If you have any more questions you can send me a private message and I would be happy to answer.
