LINK For Some Gay Men, the Most Judgment Comes from Within the Gay Community
Why would a group of people who have historically experienced so much shame and stigma from society dole out that same kind of punishment to each other?

Anyone here remember when Gabby Douglas became the first black American Olympic women's all-around gymnastics champion! Immediately in the wake of that accomplishment, it was some Black American woman who went off the deep end publicly slamming her for "disgracing" THEM for having hair they deemed too nappy and not up to their standards. Total bitchiness!!! And yes, I know that word offends some self apoointed p.c. police. Deal with it.
The reason, in a word, is insecurity.

Because it is a human trait that we as a species are still attempting to evolve from. Then there is mental illness manifesting in self hatred. This is why I am not so very fond of the humans. They are all the same for the most part. Christ being an exception.

The same is true in every group.
No one screws with Christians like Christians of the same denomination.
Try being trans, then you have truscum, also known as transmedicalist and transfundamentalist, are trans people who delegitimize the gender of other trans people. They claim one can't truly be transgender unless one experiences gender dysphoria, in this context it can sometimes be called physical dysphoria, as defined by cisnormative psychiatry and medicine.
Due to the fact that truscum are overwhelmingly a social media phenomenon, with a less than rigorously defined ideology, there are as of yet no academic or scholarly references to support claims about their demographics and beliefs. Notwithstanding, some attempts have been made to quantify their identities with respect to gender, age, and race. These results, along with their behaviour and views, lend support to the view that the typical member of their community is an adolescent USAmerican White trans man with little to no experience with the medical establishment, and has been out for a relatively short amount of time. Placing emphasis on dysphoria (often one's own dysphoria) in order to invalidate non-binary identities is often framed as an attempt to validate binary trans identities at their expense.
And that's just one of many pains trans people endure, from other trans people.

CS60:
I’ve never heard the term truscum. I have seen and heard, the trans-people who insist that someone must transition medically to be trans. Nope, don’t bring that level of stupid around me. It is all about living your authentic life, which may or may not require medical intervention. As far, non-binary goes, if that is what makes someone happy go for it.
When I started transitioning, transgender was an umbrella term that included: transsexuals, genderfluid/gender queer, and drag kings and queens. Ah,, yeah I just showed my age.
