Hunter Schafer's '!!!!!' IG comment enrages fans despite ambiguity (The Focus)

Hunter Schafer's comment on an IG post about “enbies,” “transmedicalist” and “truscum” people and HRT has caused a social media storm.

[Some non-transmedicalists say](https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/transmedicalist-meaning-explained-hunter-schafer-controversy-sparks-debate-twitter) that people who subscribe to the system of beliefs play a gatekeeping role in the trans community. For support via phone, one-to-one chat or email you can contact The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender National Hotline: (888) 843-4564. The word “enbie” is a transliteration of the acronym “NB,” which stands for non-binary. So “enbie” is another word for someone who is non-binary. Please visit PFLAG for more support and helplines It’s a colloquialism for transmedicalism, half-formed by saying it quickly. This is a simplistic definition, as not all non-binary people feel the same way about gender. Many non-binary people identify as trans. This is because there is a sense in which transmedicalism excludes, for example, non-binary individuals from identifying as trans. In simple, literal terms, they reject the binary of two genders. For some, being non-binary is a way to actively reject gender norms. [not House Of The Dragon](https://www.thefocus.news/tv/hunter-schafer-house-of-the-dragon/)) and a trans activist.

Hunter Schafer Instagram Like Sparks Debate (Heavy.com)

Hunter Schafer is an actress who has sparked debate after liking a post about non-binary trans identities and a Florida bill.

I do however think that the people who are not medically transitioning and navigate their queerness through the privilege of a cis body need to take a step back from preaching validity based on gender theory and think about how the language they are using affects binary trans people in the real world. Non transitional non binary people taking up space on platforms that claim to be raising up trans voices and using that platform to talk about non priority issues like the validity of a femme presenting theyfabs transness when black trans women are still facing unprecedented levels of systemic and physical violence is NOT OKAY. For the last time, I am begging non binary people to take a seat and let binary trans people and more specifically black trans women be the voices of this community because they are the ones at risk. Uplift the voices of the people who need to be heard and protected then find some other avenue to get the attention you so desperately seek. What you don’t understand is that binary trans women and men don’t have the luxury of playing around with what it means to be trans the same way you do. It’s been 24 hrs since I posted this on my story and I just want to say thank you to all of the people who were receptive of my point of view. We have to play the game and live by the guidelines that cis people have created for us because that is how we survive. I just want to be clear that I do not think that enby people are solely responsible for this anti trans movement we are seeing in red states and right wing spaces. You had to dismantle all of the guidelines around being trans to fit your narrative so you could feel valid and then you demonized trans people who challenged your ideals and called them truscum/transmedicals. [sparked criticism](https://heavy.com/tag/breaking-news/) after liking a post about non-binary trans identities and a Florida bill. I hope all of the people (enbies) who fought to have trans identities no longer considered a medical condition that requires dysphoria are happy because you’ve won. [The Brag described](https://thebrag.com/hunter-schafer-likes-and-comments-on-controversial-instagram-post/) the underlying post as a “transmedicalist Instagram post blaming nonbinary trans people for a Florida bill restricting trans medical rights.”

Here's Why Some People Are Calling Hunter Schafer a ... (Out Magazine)

Nonbinary trans people are not to blame for transphobia. By Mey Rude. August 24 2022 3:06 PM EDT.

What Schafer should do now is take a seat and listen to what nonbinary and non-transitioning trans people are saying. It also completely erases the nonbinary Black trans people who also face violence. It’s the belief held by very few trans people that in order to be transgender, you have to experience gender dysphoria and be diagnosed with gender dysphoric disorder. It says that trans people who do not have dysphoria – and especially those who don’t undergo medical transition like hormones or surgery – are not real trans people. Even if every trans person were a “perfect” example of transness, checking all the boxes that cis people want, transphobia would still exist. We have to play the game and live by the guidelines that cis people have created for us because that is how we survive.” The post argues that non-medically-transitioning trans people are to blame for recent attacks from the right saying that trans healthcare isn’t a necessity and shouldn’t be covered by insurance. “Y’all just couldn’t stand to let binary trans people be the voice of this community,” it continues. Schafer is only 23, so she has lots of time to listen, learn, and grow. “You challenge gender ideologies from the safety of a cis body that requires no medical treatment. Many people accused Schafer of being transmedicalist. HRT and gender affirming surgery are no longer deemed medically necessary for adults in Florida and it’s not going to stop there.”
