sorry - misread what this trope was. mostly ignore my last edit - but not entirely ignore, as the given definition of transmed was still incorrect


* SupernaturallyValidatedTransPerson: Effectively exists as a counter to the idea that a trans person isn't a "real" member of their gender, although it can also come across as transphobic when it's handled poorly (for example if it comes across as assimilationist - implying that being cis is by default preferable and that gender diversity should be eradicated for not fitting into our current defintion rather than actually having to alter the definition in the fact of new facts as is, even apart from the transphobic implications in this case, generally considered proper in science anyway - or enforces a gender binary -- which excludes nonbinary folk, even if it is somewhat accepting of binary trans people).

I'm trans and this isn't the correct definition of transmedicalism. Transmedicalism isn't "trans people need to take medication to be real", but almost the opposite view - that medication should only be given as a very last resort AFTER the individual has been proven "really trans", and even then should be treated as more the next best treatment since unfortunately conversion therapy doesn't work. Most transmeds would choose a form of conversion therapy that actually worked over supernatural body modification. This is more assimilationist than transmedicalist. Both are bad views, but they are different, and indeed in many cases opposite in the specifics of what they believe (though the broad strokes of their philosophies are indeed very similar)

* ShameAccusation: One person in a queer relationship might feel like their partner is ashamed of them if they aren't as open as about their relationship as they might want to due to societal prejudice in form or another, whether it's hostile family members or full-on legal discrimination.

* TransgenderFetishization: A gender-nonconforming character is portrayed as hypersexualized or is used for more candid fanservice than other characters. Reinforces the stigma that non-gender-conforming people are inherently a sexual topic or only matter in relation to how attracted/disgusted cis people are.

* CelibateEccentricGenius: Asexual and aromatic behavior are depicted as going hand in hand with lack of interest in ''platonic'' socializing, high intelligence and interest in intellectually stimulating activities. The personalities of real-life asexuals and aromatics are much more diverse than that. The fact that asexuality and aromanticism don't always overlap mean that even partner-seeking socializing can still be engaged in.

* SexlessMarriage: If a married couple isn't having sex in fiction, it frequently means one of the following: they don't love each other anymore, it's a MarriageOfConvenience in the first place, the couple is unable/unwilling to sleep in the same bed or at the same time for whatever reason or at least one half is in a situation that prevents them from having sex even if they wanted to. As a result, a marriage in which the pair is having sex is portrayed as inherently going better than one in which the couple isn't, leading to a real-life assumption that marriages in which at least one partner is asexual are unhappy.

Aegosexuality and Perverse Sexual Lust are not the same thing.

* AManIsAlwaysEager: Masculinity is based on how much a man wants sex. The implication is that if a man isn't constantly seeking out sex (often to an extent that most allosexual men don't reach), that's because there's something wrong with him. In addition to being hateful to asexual men, it is derived from a sexist idea that sex is something men are compelled to try to ''take'' from women, with the manliest men being the ones who are most successful at it, and less successful men being worthy of hatred and mockery.

* AnythingThatMoves: When applied to bisexuals, this presumes that because they are interested in ''some'' members of both sexes, they're interested in ''all'' members of both sexes, although "bisexual" is not equivalent to "promiscuous".



* DepravedBisexual: If they're having gay sex, and gay sex is among the worst sins on the calendar, they'll stick at nothing. [[AnythingThatMoves The presumed promiscuity of bisexuals]] turns up the volume on this one.
