idislikecispeople, The Most Infamous Dyscourse Blogger: Part 1.0, Rumors
idislikecispeople, also known as many names throughout her time on Tumblr (such as Adele, Kat, Mami, Samantha and Sayaka), was a former Tumblr blogger who became infamous for coining the term "tucute", among many other controversial things she has posted on her blogs. This was supposed to be one, very long masterpost about her, but Tumblr's post editor is a bitch and won't let me do that.
In this post, I'll be debunking or confirming rumors commonly spread about idislikecispeople. The rest of my posts about her will each be dedicated to a specific controversial belief she held or situations she got into. For simplicity's sake, I'll be referring to idislikecispeople as Kat for the rest of this post and future ones.
Rumors
Kat Coined the Terms "Truscum" and "Tucute"
Verdict: Partially True
Kat coined the term tucute, but she did not coin the terms truscum or transmedicalist.
Here's a screenshot of Kat's original definition of a tucute:
Transcript:
What is Tucute?
What does tucute mean?
Tucute is basically just the opposite of truscum, itâs a term and community for trans, nonbinary, and/or non-cis individuals created to separate anti-truscum from truscum and to serve as a safe place from truscum and from cis people, where they believe that being trans requires dysphoria, we do not,where they think that being trans is a medical condition, we do not,and where they deny numerous gender identities on the basis that it âdiscredits the trans communityâ we do not.
What are the prerequisites to be a part of the tucute community?
You have to be trans, nonbinary, and/or non-cis in general
You have to accept all pronouns and gender identities
You haveto believe that dysphoria is not necessary to be trans
You have to dislike truscum
You cannot side with truscum or believe in their ideology
You cannot misgender anyone no matter how mad they make you
You cannot be an ableist whatsoever
Did you invent the tucute community? Why?
I indeed did coin the tucute term and community and anyone who says otherwise are creeps who are trying to steal it from me and redefine it for their own nefarious doings. I started this community so anti-truscum could separate themselves from truscum and cis people who are a part of the truscum community, it serves as a safe space from both truscum and cis people.
Iâm cis, can I be tucute if I believe in your movement and want to help?
No, you canât be tucute if youâre cis, you can only be a tucute ally, and you need to be sure to never speak for or over a trans person.
I see a lot of tucuties being just as harmful as truscum, what will you do about it?
There isnât much I can do to them other than ask them to stop aligning with the tucute community, and of course, that doesnât mean they will. Also be noted that truscum and cis people will pretend to be tucute just to tarnish the name of the tucute community, so tread lightly, you might be talking to a wolf in sheepâs clothing.
Spread the word, use the tag #tucute and join the army today!

Kat Was a Cisgender Woman Who Lied About Being a Transgender Woman
Verdict: False
This rumor primarily comes from a post on Kat's oldest known Tumblr blog, chromaghost, where she claims that she wasn't MTF and only tagged a selfie as such because she thought that transgender people were "cool".
Transcript:
Anonymous asked: are you a mtf? i seen it tagged on one of your photos.
No lol. I wanted to post it to the tag because transgender people are cool :3
(source) (source) (source)
However, Kat addressed this post and made it clear she very much was a transgender woman multiple times on her later blogs. This claim can also be confirmed with nude photos Kat posted online, which I don't feel comfortable spreading, so you'll just have to trust me on that one. I also don't feel comfortable directly encouraging you to go and dig up those nudes, as most of her nude photos were either taken when she was a minor, spread without her consent and/or were uploaded because people pressured her into posting nudes to "prove" she was a transgender woman.
Transcript:
Anonymous asked: you bound with ace bandage in one of your selfies. i don't know what to think about you anymore. according to some people you're a 27 year old cis woman scamming us, but you say you're a 22 year old trans woman. i want to trust you but i don't know if i can. i'm sorry.
Rest assured Iâm not 27 years old lol. What youâre referring to is a less than graceful ~art piece~ we did (âPlaying a Boyâ or something) on deviantART when we were 16/17 (?) and really ill-informed. I ask you to not take that as how I stand currently â as I have learned so much more since, and I have a penis and I was designated male at birth because of it (feel free to purchase a passcode to our nsfw blog to see for yourself). At the time we were developing breast tissue but still had to appear as a âboy.â Donât bind with Ace bandages, kids, it can damage your rib cage, something we didnât know at the time.

Anonymous asked: In other words, you aren't gonna cough up the pics because you know you can't fake that shit because you're actually cis. Cool. BTW why do you keep changing your story about the blog, and if the blog was run by you when you were in denial about being trans because of self hate, why were the pics tagged mtf and you were constantly saying trans people were cool?
Yeah Iâm not gonna do something for yâall and get nothing in return except more doubt from you, you see how one sided that kind of request is? Also its technically considered sexual harassment, just because its on the internet, youâre a coward (whats your username btw?), and you think Iâm cis and you want me to prove time and time again to you that Iâm dmab doesnât justify sexually soliciting someone when theyâre not comfortable in being solicited â for free no less.
At first I genuinely had no memory of that blog, it was only active for all of 2 months and for some reason I moved onto a new email and new tumblr, and I havenât the foggiest why. As for the whole âme claiming to not be ~mtf~â I donât have any memories from that time, I can only assume it was a lot of dysphoria fueled self-hatred and wanting to be seen/pass as a cis girl lesbian.
If youâre really gonna solicit nudes from a trans woman (a second time) as they do sex work to try and stay on their feet without offering anything in return just so your transmisogynistic ass can get off to trying to tell me my dick is fake isnât classy at all. I perish the thought of what youâre parents would think of this behavior from you. But yeah, feel free to send some money to my paypal so I can get the gender markers on my records changed because thatâs gonna cost a lot apparently, and Iâll definitely send you the dick pics you want. :)

Kat Lied About Having Diabetes To Get Money From Tumblr Users
Verdict: False
This doesn't need much commentary from me, just view the screenshots below.
Transcript:
To the people who keep harping on me buying a $15 video game for my mental health 7 MONTHS ago âwith my donation money,â well, here you go, some proof, links and screenshots provided
So for everyone spreading misinformation about me spending $15 on a video game for my mental health, hereâs a full list of reasons why there is no way, shape, or form I spent my paypal money on it:
Yes, I spent $15 of my own money after selling one of my possessions, not denying it:
[A screenshot of a Tumblr post by Kat where she shows off a copy of Fall Out: New Vegas, marked with a price of $14.99. The date of the post is marked as July 21, 2014 at 06:28.39 PM.]
Be sure to look at the date, July 21st, 2014Â 6:28 PM. Now lets look at my first donation post asking for help:
[A screenshot of a Tumblr post by Kat where she asks for donations to be able to afford insulin because she has no insurance. The date of the post is marked as July 20, 2014 at 08:14.00 PM.]
Hmm, one day before the purchase of said game, July 20th 2014 at 8:14 PM. Now, Iâve never heard of a video game store â much less a non-chain video game store accepting payment for video games in the form of virtual Amazon gift cards, have you? Oh, but youâre gonna say, âwell you bought the game with your paypal donations anyway!â Well, hereâs exhibit C:
[Another screenshot of a separate post made by Kat where she is also asking for donations to be able to afford insulin. The date of the post is marked as July 23, 2014 at 12:27.46 PM.]
Again, looking at the date of this posting which is the original donations post, you can see it was posted on July 23rd, 2014 at 12:27 PM, a full 2 days after I had bought the game. Now, if thereâs no way for me to use Amazon gift cards for a real life video game store, then how can I go back in time a minimum of 2 full days to give past me $15 to buy said game, hm? This isnât even accounting for the fact that I didnât even have my own bank account associated with it until over a week later, and it surely doesnât account for the fact that it takes up to 5 days to transfer from paypal to your bank account. All the dates are linked to the original unedited posts so you can see for yourself, and for added measure my first deposit was on August 14th, 2014:
[A screenshot of a deposit made by Kat. The date is marked as 08/14/14.]
Oh but yeah, anti-sjs, truscum, and the like took damniwishidthoughtofabetternameâs postthey used to gaslight us with misinformation and you all bought it. Tell me how I could misuse donations that I could not use outside of Amazon and money I didnât even start receiving until a full two days later, let alone the fact that thereâs no way I could have transferred said money and used it two days prior as of the date of the paypal donations post.
I hope some of yâall could reblog this and get the word out, Iâm sick and tired of people buying into that misinformation that person did solely to gaslight me as a means to try and disrupt my donations drive.

Anonymous asked: Getting desperate for money again I see. How is your fake diabetes lately. I bet your blood sugar is like 800 this time and you're still able to be alive somehow.
You got me, Iâm ~totally faking~
[A selfie of Kat. In the background several items used by diabetics are seen such as insulin syringes, glucose tablets, a blood sugar tester and test strips.]
[A picture that gives us a closer look at the background of the previous selfie.]
[A selfie of Kat holding up two vials, one of Lantus and the other of Humalog.]
Gee, must be one dedicated faker, right? To have hundreds of dollars of insulin equipment and insulin itself. Hmmm⌠Insulin syringes, glucose tablets, a blood sugar tester and test strips.. oh and insulin, hmmmmâŚ.
Oh and because you didnât learn from last time you donât die instantly when your blood sugar goes over 600 lol, something anyone who studies endocrinology can tell you, and I would know, being a diabetic, having to be hospitalized numerous times for ketoacidosis where the blood sugar has been too high for too long. Things you clearly do not know and youâre just jumping on the disableist bandwagon. I have an idea of who you are anyway, just doing this for future reference.

Hi! I'm currently taking a short break from my truscum vs. tucute debate timeline due to me dealing with a lot of stress irl right now, but I'm planning to make a post about idislikecispeople before finishing the timeline. Making a post about one person involved in the history of a discourse topic is much easier to research and compile than the entire timeline, so I'm taking a short detour.

Oh, and if thereâs a rumor youâve heard that youâd like me to confirm or debunk in the post, feel free to suggest it to me!
Once I finish my truscum vs. tucute discourse timeline, Iâm planning to make a post that either debunks or confirms popular rumors surrounding the discourse.
Some rumors I plan to cover are:
Tumblr user idislikecispeople coined the terms âtruscumâ and âtucuteâ
The term âtruscumâ was coined to mean âtrue transsexual scumâ
Tumblr user idislikecispeople was a cis woman who pretended to be a trans woman
Tumblr user idislikecispeople pretended to have diabetes to get money from Tumblr users
Tumblr user idislikecispeople was prejudiced against trans men
(Yes, most of the rumors will probably be about idislikecispeople, since thereâs so many rumors spread about her that arenât properly backed up.)

Introduction/Pinned Post
You can call me Riley or Rat, Iâm 16 and female. This blog was created so I could compile, archive and create timelines of the history of (mostly) online discourse topics. I think preserving internet history is extremely important. I want resources that people can use that arenât misinformed or biased.
This blog is not for discourse or debating. However, I will not be hiding my opinions. If youâre curious about any of them, simply shoot me an ask and Iâll answer, but I wonât debate or argue about them. Thatâs not what this blog is for, itâs for compiling resources that are important to internet history and discourse communities.
Iâll be starting out by creating a timeline of the first five years of the truscum vs. tucute debate, but if youâd like me to research any other discourse topics feel free to suggest them to me! Just be aware that these projects will take time, and are very difficult due to different factors such as the sheer amount of deleted posts, lack of previous archiving, difficultly with search engines, etc. Most of my projects will focus on LGBT-related discourse, but Iâm open to working on ones that focus on other topics.
