1. A slur used by transmedicalists to call any non-dysphoric transgender person, that implies that they aren’t REAL trans people and are just identifying as trans to be “cute” or “trendy.”
Of course, non-dysphoric trans are just as legitimate as dysphoric trans people, and dysphoric trans aren’t actually “cis people pretending to be trans for attention.” Which is why this term is only a slur and not a legitimate label.
2. This term is also sometimes used for any transgender who’s gender identity falls outside of the gender binary. Some truescum, believe there are only two genders, so any transgender who identifies as any gender besides “man” and “woman” is a fake trans person.
This of course is not true either since non-binary trans identities are just as valid as binary trans identities. Which is why this term is only a slur.

Trans guy: “Hi, I’m James and I’m a trans guy. I don’t really have any physical dysphoria, so I don’t want to surgically transition, but I do plan on socially and legally transitioning and even take some hormones.”
Truescum: “You’re a transtrender! All trans people MUST hate their bodies and want to completely alter it, otherwise they’re not a REAL trans person!”
Trans guy: “Don’t be a truescum, medicalizing trans experiences is harmful to the trans community and implies that transness is literally only a mental disorder with no basis in biology or neurological science, so just stop.”

Does not exist. Made up by transphobic people to invalidate all trans people by insisting trans people's gender identities aren't consistent and or they're doing it because being trans is "cool" (Because being murdered is so cool)
Transphobe: Stacey is such a transtrender, she's only doing it to be cool.
Normal person: That's not a real thing. No one risks losing job, family, friends, and their own life just to be "cool".

A derogatory label used by a transgendered person to attack, insult or degrade another transgendered person. The implication being that the other person isn't a REAL transgender because they don't want to get surgery or hormone therapy to change their gender.
Basically it's members of a discriminated-against minority attempting to discriminate against, and one up each other.

Transgendered blowhard: "I can't believe she has the nerve to say that she feels uncomfortable in her body and wishes she was a man! She won't even have surgery done to give herself a fake dick! She's obviously just in it to look cool. What a transtrender."
Normal person: "Dude, why would anyone think it's trendy or desirable to be part of a misunderstood and ostracized gender minority? Maybe she just doesn't feel the need to take things as far as you have? Why can't you respect her choices?"
Transgendered blowhard: "Shut up, I'm trans, you're not, and I speak for my entire community!"

A derogatory word used against some trans people because the person using said word doesn't accept the trans person's identity (because, of course, they know ALL ABOUT someone else's gender identity). Used out of a failure to understand that gender is a social construct, and you can identify as any gender.
Also used against fake troll blogs on tumblr (that identify as fairies, moons, trees, etc.) by people who are so busy trying to make a point to trans people that they don't get realise they're being trolled.

Urgh, those stupid transtrenders are only pretending to be trans! I don't know them at all, but I know that they aren't really trans!

A Transgender person who is cool, popular or trendy. Typically Gender Non-Conforming or Nonbinary.
The term was originally used by the Transmedicalist and Truscum communities as a derogatory term targeting trans people that they don't like. This is the reclaimed definition.
