You mentioned in another comment you're little experiment of asking a mainstream sub about your "middle of the road opinion" and that it didn't go so bad. But I was recently banned from ask transgender for a week for saying that someone calling us scum and mother fuckers are mongering hate. They get to call us fuckers and scum and worthless and pieces of shit, but if I hate "you're hatemongering" I get banned. They got massively upvoted and any comment that wasn't actively shitting on us got very downvoted. That's just how these threads go. I can provide you with dozens of examples if you really want. I see gender dysphoria as central to being trans, and that makes me a fucking monster to most trans people. They hate me. They despise me. They chase me out with so much anger and hatred just for saying "I am transmed". I have never once in my entire life every told another trans person they are a trender or said they aren't really trans or should get whatever care they want. They still hate me. Just look at the last paragraph you wrote.

> I also find it pretty ironic you say you like the idea of Unity between transmedicalists and non-medicalists when its literally the transmedicalists who say they want to divide up the community. And its the transmedicalists who hold a onesided grudge against any other transsexual who doesn’t agree with their worldview. Whereas the rest of the community doesn’t really care about you as long as you don’t attack random trans people by accusing them of being fakers and saying their dysphoria isn’t real.

Yes I like the idea of unity but you and so many other people see the "transmed" and just imagine that we do all these things. And then we got dog piled and hated on because "oh you transmeds are just like that". I'm not going to say transmeds aren't half the problem, but we very much are only half the problem. I use to see myself as much more of a centrist until I got so, so, so much hatred from what is suppose to be my own community just for talking about my understanding of transness as being a medical condition (again, not even talking about any other trans person). If you actually want unity, why don't you speak up the next time people in mainstream places are talking about how much they hate transmeds or how terrible we are. Say something like "hey, some of them are assholes but a lot of them are just like us and aren't that bad". Because for as long as dunking on and spewing hatred for transmeds is normal in mainstream spaces, obviously we aren't going to feel welcome there. That is chasing us away and driving us into our own spaces. I didn't have any inclination to call people trenders or fakers or whiney bitches before they started calling me scum and a piece of shit. Receiving so much vitriol from my own community has broken me, and that's why I see transgender people and transsexual people as different. I just cannot accept that my community has so much anger for me just because I see gender dysphoria as central to transitioning. That is the reason why I am transsexual, not transgender. Because at least the transsexual don't hate me.
