A '''Transmedicalist''', also known as a '''Transmed''', '''Truscum''', '''Trumed''', '''Trident Trans (TT)''', or '''Nunchuck Non-Binary''', is an [[exclusionist]] who believes that some form of [[dysphoria]] is required to be [[transgender]]. According to the American Psychiatric Association, "not all transgender people suffer from gender dysphoria and that distinction is important to keep in mind;" however, many (but not all) truscum think that non-dysphoric trans people are actually mislead [[Cisgender|cis]] people or dysphoric trans people who don't fully understand their dysphoria. Transmedicalists believe surgery for non-dysphoric people is non-essential and purely cosmetic for them due to them not having gender dysphoria. They also tend to generally believe that trans individuals need to meet a strict set of criteria to be trans, and they're often exclusionary towards non-binary and xenogender individuals.
This page is split into harmful, more radical transmedicalist beliefs, and less harmful, non-radical transmedicalist beliefs, to display the nuance in the transmedicalist community. However, many of the harmful beliefs are often the center of discourse much more and are usually much more front and center in discussions in trans spaces, and it's important to recognize the immense harm those beliefs have had and are continuing to have on trans individuals while also acknowledging that this harm does not represent the imprint of the entire transmedicalist community and should not be held against the whole community but rather the harmful exclusionists within the community who perpetrate, either directly or indirectly, the harm from the following beliefs.
