Truscum

When it comes to sex, women are completely insane!

Truscum, also known as transmedicalist and transfundamentalist, are trans people who delegitimize the gender of other trans people. They claim one can't truly be transgender unless one experiences gender dysphoria, in this context it can sometimes be called physical dysphoria, as defined by cis-normative psychiatry and medicine.

Due to the fact that truscum are overwhelmingly a social media phenomenon, with a less than rigorously defined ideology, there are as of yet no academic or scholarly references to support claims about their demographics and beliefs. Notwithstanding, some attempts have been made to quantify their identities with respect to gender, age, and race.[10][11] These results, along with their behavior and views, lend support to the view that the typical member of their community is an adolescent American White trans man with little to no experience with the medical establishment, and has been out for a relatively short amount of time. Placing emphasis on dysphoria (often one's own dysphoria) in order to invalidate non-binary identities is often framed as an attempt to validate binary trans identities at their expense.
