'''Transmedicalism''' is the view that sex-based dysphoria is a requirement for being [[transgender]]. People who hold this opinion are called transmedicalists, or "transmeds" for short. They may also be called "truscum", which is sometimes considered pejorative. Many transmeds do not believe [[nonbinary]] genders are valid, or apply rigid requirements for which ones are valid. Transmeds also commonly believe that medical transitioning is needed in order to be genuinely transgender. | '''Transmedicalism''' is the view that sex-based [[dysphoria]] is a requirement for being [[transgender]].
