That's absolutely right. Why I ask about the context in this case is you're referring to a schism between transmedicalists and everyone is valid Tumblr types. I'm sure you're very interested in all this but yeah anyways here we go: It comes down to whether or not dysphoria is considered a necessary requirement for transition. Like do it if this is killing you, but otherwise why the fuck would you do this unless you're hurting from not doing it? The tucute (to be cis) opposition thinks everyone is valid and the only stamp to get your transcard stamped is to identify as trans.

Both sides are assholes, but I'm truscum (transmedicalist) essentially. You generally see that with self-hating older hons (excellent word to add to your vocabulary btw) like me. Younger people are more accepting of anyone, so honestly it's not a bad thing, but you get cat Nazis in the mix when you let anyone in.

Terf rhetoric is especially incinidary if you want good troll fodder. Ask a trans woman to define what a woman is. There's literally no adequate answer to that. Kinda like defining Zen.
