Being a out trans person who has been chronically online since 2015 is really a trip because I get to watch people do blatant revisionist history re: transmedicalism, from both ppl i largely agree with and those i largely disagree with. Its so fuckin strange.

Transmedicalism is the belief that transness is first & foremost a medical condition. All other aspects of transmed beliefs stem from this.
Transmed IS: "I'm a real trans, bc i transitioned medically." >
Transmed IS NOT: "I think hrt & grs should be more easily accessible, & want to encourage people to seek medical care if they experience significant dysphoria."
These statements are made in a lot of >
Terms like "theyfab" "trans cissexual" "political transgenderism" & "transtrender/trender" have always been transmed dog whistles. Transmedicalism was the origin point for all of them & recent use erases that actual history entirely.
