I donât consider myself a transmed or a tucute but I do have a question
Why does it seem like a lot of the tucute side says that fake trans people donât exist? I feel like they just might exist but definitely not to the extent the transmed community says they do. Like there are people out there on the Internet who lie about being a different race (like that girl who claimed to be the author of My Immortal also claimed she was native when she was white). Even off the Internet there was that article of ppl who faked being black or native just to get college scholarships. So why do people deny someone might pretend to be trans like how these people pretend to be a different race?
Legit question, idk if these are topics that can be fairly compared, and Iâd appreciate any corrections or information!
Personally I think that yes, there are people who lie about being trans. The world is big and there are many idiots in it. But it isnât a problem or a resources crisis like transmeds make it out to be. There are people who fake being POC or having an illness or being gay, but the solution to that isnât to make everyone prove theyâre Really POC/ill/gay/etc. Gatekeeping and the idea of youâre fake until proven real only harms the trans people who donât fit the stereotypes of the people who think they can decide who is and isnât trans.
Of course the few people who are cis but pretend to be trans should be called out, and of course it has happened. But 5 kids on the internet lying about being trans is not the huge problem transmeds are making up.
Yes of course fake trans people exist. It can range from just gender confusion (which is normal) or voluntarily lying about your gender. I think the difference is that Truscum believe itâs âguilty until proven innocentâ and tucutes believe itâs âinnocent until proven guiltyâ. If you donât know how that compares, basically truscum think there has to be evidence of being transgender first before you get a label, and tucute believe everyoneâs identity should be respected until there is evidence of not being that identity.
