Transmedicalism posits that being transgender requires a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria and asserts that only those who meet this criterion are 'legitimate' trans individuals.
Critics argue that transmedicalism serves as a form of gatekeeping, drawing arbitrary lines within a diverse community and dismissing non-binary and gender-non-conforming identities.
The rise of transmedicalism in social media has provoked extensive intra-community debates about identity, with some declaring that gender dysphoria is essential for being authentically transgender.
Transmedicalism has become controversial as its proponents create a vaguely defined list of requirements that can lead to exclusion and breed bigotry within the trans community.
