Just flat out putting this out there right now for people who keep associating me with truscum who think demiboys and demigirls and people who are bigender are a thing - I believe the brain can be female, male, or possibly somewhere in between, a term known on tumblr as genderqueer, but I hate that word because of the slur, how stupid it sounds, and the implications of it. I think a better term should be invented.
I think trans should refer to transgender and transsexual, not this trans*** umbrella concept. I think the term transgender shouldn’t even exist because it technically does not make sense, but if it must exist, I think it should mean trans people who haven’t got medical treatment yet, and transsexual should mean trans people who have got medical treatment. That’s what I learned when I first found trans people, and it made sense. It kept things simple and straightforward. Or just say FTM/trans man or MTF/trans woman.
I believe in rare cases some people can feel like they should be sexless (implying that they are genderless, known as non binary or agender on Tumblr). However, I 100% believe that this is not caused by the persons brain structure. I do not believe it’s possible for someones brain to be genderless due to what I have read in scientific studies. I believe those feelings can come from other things, and that sometimes transitioning may be appropriate for those people. So I do believe in the existence of people who would feel more comfortable being sexless but I do not believe their cause is the same as those who are trans (transgender/transsexual, NOT “trans*”) which is their brain structure not matching up with their physical sex.

I think there needs to be a better term for people who feel like they aren’t cisgender, but certainly are not FTM or MTF. Maybe non binary would work? So that would mean that trans means transgender/transsexual so FTM or MTF, and non binary refers to people who aren’t comfortable with their birth sex but wouldn’t be comfortable with a male or female body. That could clear up so many misconceptions and confusions,
I do not subscribe to the idea that you are trans if you present a little bit of sex dysphoria. No, there’s more to it than that. So many truscum say “We think you’re trans if you present even a little bit of dysphoria”
Please speak for yourselves. I’m truscum and I think that idea is a load of bollocks and that it also means you’re encouraging cis people with body issues to “identify” as trans and possibly even go as far as transitioning, all because they don’t like their breasts (more common than you may think) so they believe it’s sex dysphoria. The other day I saw a fantastic video relating to this view of mine. With sex dysphoria comes other issues. If you simply don’t like your boobs, no, it doesn’t mean you are automatically trans.
Here’s the video

If you parade around as your birth sex, post revealing photos of your body, and give trans people (the ones with dysphoria) a hard time, then no, I am not going to call you he/she/zir/bun. I don’t care how many people tell me that it’s misgendering. We are dealing with bigger issues here than “misgendering” when someone who looks and acts like a privileged cis male and posts dick photos all the time has the nerve to try and trigger dysphoria in trans men. I’m talking about the bagels. I’m not calling you nounself pronouns at all. I’ll call you he/she/they, but if you’re obviously not dysphoric, stuff you, it’s not misgendering to refer to a cis person as their birth sex.
If you’re a trans person who stands up for these sorts of people, stuff you too, you can go on about how I’m transphobic, but to me it really shows your true colours when you stand up for someone posting as a trans woman and calling trans guys “shrimp dicks”
If you’re offended by this post, try to reply with more than “yr trash eww go kill yourself YOU’RE WRONG”
