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?

[-] good_girl 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

It's all ironic names. Likely to confuse. it's definitely tucute without the R, as in 'too cute'.
