What’s the trans woman version of a ‘tucute’? If a tucute is a really overly effeminate, twinky, trans dude, is his opposite a trans woman who’s really masculine? Ya know, some women can’t help that shit, that’s fucked up. When you say, “I hate tucutes because they won’t fuckin’ transition,” what I hear is, “You can’t be both genders, pick a side.” What I hear is, “Intersex people aren’t valid.” What I hear is, “Nonbinary people aren’t valid.” I hear, “The only trans people who are valid are ones that look cis, or who are trying to pass as cis.” I hear, “Only CIS people are valid, I hate being trans.” There’s no pride in your transness at all. No pride in your otherness, only self-loathing. Only sadness. Mainly cause you didn’t get the body and life you should have. Hey! I get it! I’m a dysphoric trans dude and I’m right there with ya! But, man, it is what it is. We feel like this only because we were programmed to. Because we’re expected to be cis and we’re not. It sucks, but it doesn’t have to. We’re not the problem. Transphobes are. Anyways, that’s why I can’t get behind the transmed/truscum bandwagon as much as I’ve tried to be on yalls’ side since conversing with you. I’m way too feminist for this shit. I was feminist before the dysphoria and I’m feminist now. And this is ultimately a very feminist issue just like a lot of lgbtq related issues. If it weren’t for the rules set into place by a patriarchal system, we wouldn’t even need hormones! You could just walk out your house all twinked up, say you’re a man, and nobody would give a shit!!
