This kind of post has probably been posted multiple times on here, but I just wanted to share my thoughts.
Recently, I watched a youtube video about someone disscussing trans people and the comments were full of people on the right, who believe that all trans people have the same beliefs as tucutes, and just "identify" as a gender, don't pass at all and are just trying to invade certain gendered spaces.
The tucutes literally made real trans people into a joke. Now, anyone can make jokes about "I identify as a washing machine" because they believe that's how it works. They believe, now that anyone can just choose to change their "gender", like a man waking up one morning and deciding to be a woman. And that whole pronoun shit also makes us seem like a joke (especially neopronouns or people who are he/him lesbians).
They make it seem like actual trans people don't have dysphoria, so in conclusion we don't need medical intervention. And because they make it seem like you don't need dysphoria to be trans, a bunch of teenage cisgirls are taking up resources from actual trans people, just because "they don't feel like a girl", they "think they would be attractive as a guy", they "want to break gender norms", they "want to be in a gay relationship" or are just trying to escape misogony.
Tucutes also change how we are perceived in daily life. I sadly can't be stealth currently, but I pass.
Everyone who knows that I'm trans treats me like I just identify as trans and don't actually have dysphoria. During a political discussion with my friends, I tried to talk about tucutes, I said : "There are some women online that just walk around in bras and look like women but they want to be called a man." And my friend said "But isn't that what you're doing?". And that shit hurt, because it just shows me how people around just view me as someone who "identifies as a guy", not someone who has actual dysphoria.
Also,
political discussions would be so much easier if everyone saw the truscum side of trans people instead of the tucute side. Instead of saying the whole "I identify" and "I use these pronouns" shit that aren't real arguments and just make us look ridiculous, we could actually argue that
we have a medical condition thats proven to exist with science. It would be so much harder to take right of trans people away, if we could just argue that it's dypshoria and not simply an identity. I don't even get how the tucute side "won" and became popular in the media.
Now trans people just seem like dyed hair, pierced, alternative freaks, who are extremly loud, obnoxious and annoying and can't understand reality or biology.
