does anyone actually call people who ask for trans medical care as a right truescum? from my experience thats only used by trans people, for other trans people who throw trans people who don't medical transition (in every possible way) under the bus. and i believe everyone who uses it like that agrees that trans medical care should be a right independent of whether everyone needs it.

anyway free (trans) healthcare for everyone now!!

    kinda? it's a meme, so ofc it's exaggerated. but as hrt is getting more and more restricted, there's been a rise in "remember that you're just as valid if you're not on hrt!" messaging. the people who call this out as a tacit encouragement to not transition are often called transmeds (not so much "truscum", i don't really see people use that word these days, but they're pretty much synonyms anyway).

    Huh? I tell people to right out come out of the closet and fight their right to medical care if they want it all the time because it's worth it and no one has ever called me truscum ever? Like people don't like hearing it but they don't call me truscum or transmed. That is a you problem

    Ah, why I would recommend moving off those platforms that silence pro-trans voices. It definitely does devolve to that when the only queer users left on your platform are the ones that are "safe" for cis people.

    Basically the overton window is so far to the right on those platforms it makes sense that's where you would find the highest concentration of transphobic trans people. Then without voices of reason to do logic the arguments get really fucking stupid.

    Every trans person I talk to is pro whatever type of gender affirming healthcare for every person who wants it trans or cis as far as I am aware lol.
