TransMedicalism was never actually defeated. Here are some remarks from the TransMed perspective: 1. Insanity is abundant. Look around you. 2. Defining insanity is sophomoric. Mental experience is opaque, volatile, and confounded with the standards and schema that are brought to bear on it. (2a) Opaque: The physical examination of the brain is under-powered relative to the degree of technological sophistication brought to bear on it. We have very impressive scans that can help us spot things like tumors, not identities. (2b) Volatile: Ideas change, including the conceptual structures of ideas. Such change is both voluntary and involuntary. (2c) Confoundment: If you want to call some mental experience X-disorder, that says as much about the diagnostic criteria as it does about the mental experience. 3. We can have lots of bad, sloppy, cul-de-sac conversations about what people are or should be like on the inside. We can also have much more constructive conversations about behavior and adaptation. 4. Half of what anybody does is just selecting behaviors to adapt to shit. If you've ever said something like "If my dick fell off I'd just kill myself" then you are making behavioral plans to adapt. Different adaptations bring different trade-offs, by which I mean different blends of experience. The other half of what we do is critique the behaviors we've chosen based on what we get as an outcome. 5. Lots of people seem to come to the conclusion that their lives make them want to blow their brains out. For some of the men among them, telling them to put on a wig and a dress helps relieve that feeling. If they can live their lives successfully with the wig and the dress, then they've adapted. Call them 'merely trans.' 6. There are also lots of people who want to blow their brains out for lots of other reasons and they'll take the wig and the dress in stride but they are far from adapting to life. Call them 'truly deranged.' Funny enough, a lot of the 'truly deranged' will tell you that they're 'merely trans' just as a signal to tell everyone -- I am not okay! I need to see a doctor! 7. I don't terribly care about the difference between the 'merely trans' and the 'truly deranged.' There might not be a hard line. I don't feel like gatekeeping the word 'trans' at all. The idea of 'trans' itself is opaque, volatile, confounded garbage and only an idiot would gatekeep that. What I like about gatekeeping is the idea of forcing the 'truly deranged' to deal with doctors, and being 'merely trans' is just a means to that end. 8. Doctors can do very little for bougie lifestyle problems of white women (who should simply read a CBT workbook) and they can do much more for the truly deranged. It would be good for the deranged and for society if the deranged received more medical treatment! But the bougie white women should be sent to a support group in the church basement. 9. Doctors should gatekeep almost every minor from hormones and so-called 'puberty blockers,' but they should be much more liberal with adults. Almost every minor belongs in the category of 'truly deranged.' Doctors should do this because almost all medical transition would irreparably harm a pre-adult body. This angers lots of trannies because they imagine that they would be healthy and beautiful if only they had translated at 0.0000000001 year old. Remember! When trannies tell you things like this -- they are mentally ill! The truly deranged will certainly harm themselves sooner rather than later, and medical transition may or may not be one of those forms of self-harm. But the ones who are 'merely trans' (read: the ones who can avoid self-harming and shit over a prescribed cooling-off period) should be allowed to harm their bodies when it is basically their right to do so. 10. Trannies shouldn't get any special accommodations other than the hormone shit we let the doctors gatekeep. There is no definitive statement about what "trans rights" would be, nor is there any special reason the public should abide by such a statement. Successful transitioning is its own reward.
I read your post but don't understand what part of it makes you a "transmed", it seems like agreement with the status quo. Also, typically "transmed" is for transgender individuals with that particular outlook, or at least that's the context I first heard it in, maybe it's one of those labels that has widened to the point of non-functionality like "TERF". OP, are you a tranny? I think it would qualify your rant a bit more.
On number 9: The body does not stop developing right as it turns 18. Puberty and post-pubertal changes still happen well until 25. For example, the date of menarche in the past was 15 or 16, and has been trending younger in recent decades because of industrialized, hormonally contaminated environments.
The 18 year old cutoff is arbitrary and derives from our legal/bureaucratic system. The difference between giving hormones to a 15 year old and an 18 year old are negligible in terms of the adverse/changing effect it has on the body. An 18 year old is similarly no more or less mentally mature than a 15 year old, especially in today's era; maybe they were in the past, but that's irrelevant now.
That's why I never really agreed with the American-style mentality of everything suddenly flipping once a person turns 18. And make no mistake that's where your style of thinking comes from, the "let adults do what they want because they are free individuals now the second they hit that arbitrary one-eight number". Just like they kick you out of the house at 18.

building on this, the coining of "transmed"/"truscum" and associated terms could also be said to mark an inflection point where the version of trans that dominates today switched from being an insurgency to being a counter-insurgency
it's not defeated, it's a spent rocket stage.

Any gathering of any type that is not explicitly and actively anti-trans will be DDOS'd by autistic MTFs ("Why is your peanut butter company complicit in trans genocide?") until it becomes controlled by MTFs and is used primarily for mislead straight people -- with its original function as an occasional memory.
Mark this post. They'll come for everything. They'll try to make kitty litter companies serve trannies. They'll try to make stamp collectors serve trannies. They'll take control of Christmas and use it as a ritual to mislead straight people.
Unironically, you can tell MTF trannies are men because they constantly use pick-up artist style mind games and refuse to take no for an answer.

whatever arbitrary standard you set, the troons will just lobby and campaign and beg until it's inevitably eroded away

This is precisely why everyone hates trunes now, yes even people who were once sincerely supportive. They're compulsive liars, they take over every organization, and then they accuse you of wanting to send them to a camp if you push back mildly.

HSTS MTF's and FTM's do the same shit as the AGP's. Arguably, they're worse than the AGP's because they have more sympathy from the gays and women who now dominate professional workplaces.
Every time you look at an autistic MTF DDOS campaign, every single time it was kicked off by either a hilariously non-passing FTM complaining to HR or an HSTS doing something obnoxious.

Writing an internationalist manifesto because you’re triggered by TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol if you're European to know acronyms) is an embarrassing level of effort.
Hobbyless behavior, Fritz.

This has become the go-to response by Americans when someone criticizes them, and they have no response but to do this fantastic gymnast reach towards "the American internet" (sorry, "America's Internet™").
The history of technological development is international and a story of cooperation and coordination between America and Europe. For example, Tim Berners Lee, a Brit, developed the www and HTML protocols while working at CERN, and later founded the Web standards consortium. The webserver that is serving Petrarchan is likely Linux, an operating system created by a Finn, but contributed to by likely a hundred nationalities. The webserver program like Nginx or Apache are also international efforts, as well as Javascript or CSS. Protocols for routing and application communication are coordinated by international standards bodies. If you pull the strings of any of these technologies you will see the back-and-forth across the Atlantic all the way back to Babbage. And I would be remiss to omit that everything you use is physically produced in China and Taiwan, though Americans always seem to forget this fact, or cover it up with "well WE designed it!" cope.
ARPANET was not a genius eureka moment gifted by the superhuman American demigods like Prometheus's fire to save the planet from total mute darkness; the Soviets had their own post-war military network research during the same time. Faster information exchange - networking - was a natural, inevitable progression of technological advancement, in the same way that flight and electricity have multiple, simultaneous origins. The reason American companies dominate the landscape of today's tech is because of labor consolidation and market dominance. If you actually take a look at who runs and works on the technologies you use everyday, you'll see a lot of foreign names. All the best and brightest contribute to American tech dominance because of the dollar, not because you, as an American, have some sort of intrinsic intellectual advantage over the rest of us.
On the contrary, the fact that you had to reach so far when personally critiqued shows your own paucity. You stand on the shoulders of giants and use their accomplishments to buoy your ego. You have nothing in common with the greats of yore who created these systems. The sociocultural milieu you inhabit has degraded so spectacularly that you might as well be a completely different species from Thompson or Knuth or Wozniak. You share with them a language (that you enunciate poorly and mess up grammatically constantly), a nationality (the deracination of which leaves you with nothing but consumer culture to worship) and a currency (lmao), and that's it. Shut up once and for all about muh American internet.
