I’ll say it again, truscum are the worst possible people. It’s like a more acceptable version of being a transphobe because you get to pretend like you’re following science. Keep in mind that some of their tactics are to never define gender dysphoria. I’ve talked about this on my old account, but my experience with a truscum is just horrid. I was convinced that my friends were being groomed by openly trans positive spaces, and that they weren’t really trans because one of them didn’t feel comfortable with blackmarket HRT. The amount of doubt a truscum places in your head because you may feel as though your “mild” gender dysphoria means nothing and is completely normal. Nobody really explained to me when I was an ally how complicated it is being trans, and that not everyone should be on hormone replacement therapy. It’s a daunting thing, and it’s a change that is semi permanent. Just because you want to wait a bit longer, or not take it at all does not invalidate your identity. The same is with SRS, it’s daunting. There’s long waiting lines for both, and it can be a nightmare depending on your medical team. You may not even feel bottom dysphoria and might not elect for the procedure, again perfectly valid. Transmedicalists will demonize this though, and will make you feel like you are a fake, and that you’re not truly trans because you don’t want to go all in with life altering procedures.
