Truscum, also known as transmedicalists or exclus, is a controversial viewpoint within the transgender community. They believe that being transgender requires experiencing gender dysphoria and that being transgender is a medical condition.
Key aspects of the truscum belief system include:
Requirement of Gender Dysphoria: Truscum generally believe that experiencing significant distress or discomfort due to the incongruence between one's assigned sex and gender identity (gender%20identity) is a necessary criterion for being transgender.
Binary Focus: Some truscum tend to focus more on the traditional binary understanding of gender (male/female) and the process of transitioning from one to the other, sometimes excluding or marginalizing non-binary identities (non-binary).
Medicalization of Transgender Identity: Truscum often view being transgender as a medical condition best understood and addressed through medical interventions like hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and surgeries.
Exclusion of "Trenders": A common concern within truscum circles is the fear of "trenders"—individuals who they believe are falsely claiming to be transgender for attention or social validation. This has led to gatekeeping and accusations of invalidating the experiences of people who haven't medically transitioned or don't experience dysphoria in the same way.
It's important to recognize that the truscum viewpoint is highly debated and often criticized within the broader transgender community. Many argue that it reinforces harmful stereotypes, creates unnecessary divisions, and excludes valid transgender experiences. The term "truscum" itself can be considered offensive by some.
