Okay...What's Happening with Hunter Schafer and that Truscum Post ... (INTO)

Buckle up, because this is a weird one. Last week on Instagram, a trans woman known as @piggytaiwan posted a very truscum-y take on nonbinary people, ...

But it does raise a few eyebrows. [August 23, 2022] It was a series of exclamation points, which some are taking as an endorsement of the poster’s truscum views. So what’s the tea? This school of thought often puts nonbinary folks and trans folks who don’t wish to medically transition in a presumed “poser” category, and posits that we’re somehow “doing it for attention.” Which is obviously dangerous for more than a few reasons. In the trans community, “truscum”, or transmedicalism, refers to a school of thought (favored by some binary trans folks) that believes that to be “authentically” trans, medical transition is necessary.

Hunter Schafer likes and comments on controversial Instagram post (Brag Magazine)

Hunter Schafer likes a transmedicalist Instagram post blaming nonbinary trans people for a Florida bill restricting trans medical rights.

I think she is a talented actor and I simply hope she can see this feedback and grow. this is deserved criticism of something she chose to post, even if it was just a comment. please be understanding that her enby fans will find this upsetting please be understanding that her enby fans will find this upsetting” I want to be clear that this is someone else's words and Hunter did not type this or post this. Others were quick to point out that the anger in piggytaiwan‘s post was directed at the wrong people. Y’all just couldn’t stand to let binary trans people be the voice of this community. You had to dismantle all of the guidelines around being trans to fit your narrative so you could feel valid and then you demonized tans people who challenged your ideals and called them truscum/ transmedicalists. You challenge gender ideologies from the safety of a cis body that requires no medical treatment. That means more trans people will have to pay for their transitions out of pocket, forcing more of us into sex work. After misinterpreting studies, willfully ignoring evidence, and denying the medical consensus the AHCA chose to leave thousands of transgender adults without any access to the care they need, putting the health of thousands at risk. “Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration’s actions to strip Medicaid recipients of their access to medically necessary, life-saving gender-affirming health care is only the latest egregious example of the DeSantis administration’s attack on transgender Floridians.,” said Sarah Warbelow, Human Rights Campaign Legal Director.
