/tttt/ - Translating Toxic /tttt/ Terminology
WARNING: IF YOU ARE TRANSGENDER, THIS DOCUMENT MAY CAUSE YOU IRREVERSIBLE PSYCHIC DAMAGE
Brainworms are internalized transphobic ideas common to 4chan and adjacent communities, propagated by trans people. These are often internalized unwillingly when trans people encounter hateful or anti-trans content. Brainworms are phrased such that they can seem intuitively true in a way that's not easily or rationally debunked, even if you intellectually know they're false. Brainworms can increase dysphoria, body dysmorphia, and generalized insanity as typically occurs when you start using and understanding absurd terms such as “Gorillamoding AGP Giga-rapehons”. This entire webpage will likely give you some amount of brain worms. If you are early into your transition, or haven't started yet, or aren't completely sure of yourself, it's probably best if you don't read this page.
Many of the terms on this page have genuine utility, but most of them are absurd, stupid, harmful, and toxic. However, we believe that the toxic terms within this encyclopedia hold significantly less power when they are more easily understood for what they actually mean and their stupidity is thus plain to see for everybody involved, as opposed to remaining mysterious and esoteric. This was the primary motivation behind compiling this document, as well as both a compulsion to shitpost and a general morbid fascination with this terrible culture.

An older term for trans people coined by Magnus Hirschfeld, who first documented trans people in the West. Transsexual people experience a gender identity that is inconsistent with their assigned sex and desire to permanently transition to the sex with which they identify, seeking medical assistance to help them align their body with their identified sex or gender. Formerly used to refer to only trans people who pursued bottom surgery, currently used more flexibly to refer to anyone who medically transitions.

Transvestism is the practice of dressing in a manner traditionally associated with the opposite sex.

Transsexualism was used to refer to those who were interested in the sex of the opposite gender, and transvestism was used to refer to interest in the clothes of the opposite gender.

>Trutrans
A person who believes themselves to be genuinely transgender in contrast to other people who are believed to be faking.
>Trender / Transtrender

>Hugboxing
A pejorative term for affirming someone regardless of their appearance.
