* '''truscum'''. In the 2010s, a movement of transsexuals (mostly trans men) who argue that a person is only really trans if they meet the diagnostic criteria of gender dysphoria, because they see transsexuality as only a medical condition.<ref name="Molay2010">{{Cite web |title=Transgender, Genderqueer and Transsexual Glossary |last=Molay |first=Jack |work=CrossDreamers.com |date=25 January 2010 |access-date=27 April 2020 |url= https://www.crossdreamers.com/2010/01/transgender-and-transsexual-glossary.html}}</ref>> Truscum also believe that people with nonbinary genders are pretenders who make true trans people look ridiculous.
