This has always been my biggest gripe with 4tran spaces and it’s only became more and more frequent this past month, there’s like this inevitable swing from reactionary takes like this to nuggets of gold of interesting takes, cathartic posts putting things into words I wasn’t able to, and incredible art to nothing but a spiral into reactionary garbage like that comment. I don’t really know if transmed is the right word for them because the definition of that is silly. I feel like these days there two types of transsexuals, the ones who believe if you take hrt and you like the effects of it (including non-binary ppl), you were very likely dysphoric before therefore you are a transsexual, and the ones that believe from the getgo as a toddler you’ve had to have been so explicitly suicidal about your existence and outwardly express how much you want to be the other gender or and are desperately seeking srs later in life or you aren’t trans.

I take great issue with the latter tbh because even if they are ““pro-diy”” some of them are still outwardly antagonistic and divisive in a manner that makes me wonder what their end goal really is in the first place, like the takes and opinions they express will just lead to more confused people repping, their opinions cause more harm than good. Like I guess they are fine with “AGP CISSOID TRANSGENDERS” taking hrt, but they still resent and feel disgust towards them, and anyone who doesn’t perfectly fit in their category is whatever AGP AGAMP term. Functionally they are like one step away removed from the stereotypical transmed, the only difference is they don’t outright condone gatekeeping yet.
