Get the tunatown mug.1. A slur used by transmedicalists to call any non-dysphoric transgender person, to imply 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 Dave, my pronouns are he/him, I don’t have any physical dysphoria so I’m not planning on getting any surgeries, however I am going to socially and legally transition and even take some Testosterone, please respect my pronouns.”
Truescum: “You’re just a tucute! A real trans person hates their body and wants to completely artificially alter it! You don’t expirence REAL oppression ergo you just want to be trans for attention.”
Trans guy: “Wow dude, being a truescum is ignorant. Medicalizing trans people is harmful to the community, since it implies transness is merely a mental disorder and has no basis in biology or neurological science. Also, non-dysphorics don’t come out as trans because they think it’s fun, but because they are being true to themselves and living as their true identity and gender. Being oppressed isn’t a competition, stop trying to make it one. Both dysphorics and non-dysphorics experience the same amount of oppression from society. In fact, non-dysphorics may experience more hate since they are usually more visible and maybe not be able to pass as well. Being trans is part of who a person IS, not a competition on who is more oppressed, stop being a drama queen.”
Truescum: “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Tucute! Tucute! Tucute! Stop making a fool of us! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

Get the Tucute mug.Dumb people that think being trans is a choice. People that think you don't need gender dysphoria to be considered trans.
Means "too cute to be cis", which is a dehumanising (and misogynistic) term for "biological" women and men.

Get the Tunatosis mug.Basically, the root meaning comes from the movie "Visioneers;" and is referring to "humany humans" that can not think for themselves and do as they're told. Can also refer to people who think they're "individualistic," and tend to crap on the "efforts" of people that are more or less their developmental equals (as an added irony, 99.9% of the human population is a TUNT). If you have a lip piercing and think you're "Different"....you're a TUNT. If you talk shit about people who talk about things like golf or partying, YET, you get drunk or "420" and think you're cool because you listen to SlipKnot or Lady Gaga....YOU AND the people you're talking shit about ARE TUNTS. If you describe people that are somewhat "eccentric" for formulating their own opinions, and conclusions about people; and things that are so obvious, it shames Non-Tunts for the TUNTS that have "NOT gotten it." You are ALSO the people to go on to describe such people as "funny, weird, bizarre, eccentric, or crazy" etc. If you're a Capricorn, OR a Virgo--this list does not pertain to you, because by birth...you are automatically A TUNT.
Non-Tunt = Observation. Obviousness. Knowledge. Critical Thinking. Brain Storming. Consciousness. Self Assurance. REAL Individuality. Using Language that is considered the PROPER ENGLISH, or considered "archaic" to everyone else because, you could CARE LESS if people think "you're cool."

Non-Tunt- "Hey, I have an idea...why don't we find out how Don Rickles combs his hair only using a wet rag!"
Tunt- (Questionable Look) "I don't get it."
PS: If you at any time frowned questionably while reading this, tilted your head in confusion, or said, "what?" or "huh?"...... CONGRATULATIONS, YOU are the MAJORITY.
