Transmedicalism
Transmedicalism is broadly defined as the belief that being transgender is contingent upon experiencing gender dysphoria or undergoing medical treatment in transitioning. Transmedicalists believe that individuals who identify as transgender but who do not experience gender dysphoria or have no desire to undergo a medical transition—through methods such as sex reassignment surgery or hormone replacement therapy—are not genuinely transgender. They may also exclude those whose gender is non-binary from being trans. Transmedicalists are sometimes referred to, by others or by themselves, as truscum, a term coined by a Tumblr user meaning "true transsexual scum". The counterpart term for those who believe that gender dysphoria is not required to be transgender is "tucute", meaning "too cute to be cisgender".
