I know people hate them and I think they pretend to care about trans people but cause more harm than good? And I think they’re related to transmedicalism but I don’t know what that is either… Also why does it look/sound like “true scums”?? Do they call themselves that?! X3
(btw I just noticed I can’t find this comm at all in Jerboa, the search thingy only shows 10 comms and this one isn’t one of them when I search for “trans” :< so I had to go to my profile and find the last post I made here)
ohhh I see, ye I knew of these kinds of people but didn’t know those were the terms used for them, ty for the info! :>
but what does the word “truscum” mean? like is it an acronym turned into a word or what?
If i remember correctly they appropriated the name as a group. You’ll often see/hear them refer to the people they target as ‘tucutes’- a name they also appropriated (again iirc). as far as i know the names are just ironic.
huh tucutes without the R? or did u mean trucutes? cuz if it was the later I’d guess its tru(whatever that means)-scum/cute but why would they call themselves scum and call the people they target cute? X3 maybe because they think u need to feel like scum to be trans and if u feel cute u’re not really trans? and maybe “tru” does mean “true” cuz they think they’re “true trans”
Anyway I think I’m overthinking again X3
truscum do sometimes call themselves ‘true trans’ as well.
It’s all ironic names. Likely to confuse. it’s definitely tucute without the R, as in ‘too cute’.
ohhh okie! Thanks for the help :3
