Can't you see how that hurts those of us that do have dysphoria, though? Because now people that are meant to be our own community are telling us that it's all in our heads and we should just stop being dysphoric, as though we don't get enough of that from everyone else.

I'm a woman, I hate the fact that my body is not, and now it's everyone making me feel even worse about the fact because apparently I'm simply choosing to be difficult about it.

I agree that there's such thing as a non-binary gender or a non-gender in the first place, but I honestly believe it shouldn't be called "trans". By nature, the word means "transitional". If you're fine in your body and not identifying with either binary gender, that's great! But it's not trans.

Non-binary-identified people aren't the ones hurting people. It's the people who react poorly to them and then decide that their reaction applies to everyone who claims not to be cis who are the problem. Non-binaries aren't making anyone react like that, and would also prefer it if they stopped.

No but they are. Not the entire group, of course, but the subset of non-binary-indentified people that now call transpersons with dysphoria that fully intend to transition "truscum". It is a problem. It is a very real problem.

I am not trans, and I am not saying I am trans. I am queer, and I want the right to claim that term without people telling me no, I'm [whatever the fuck they want to call me this time.]

What about nonbinary people with dysphoria? I'd love to be able to transition but I really doubt that either the medical establishment or society in general would be willing to let me take a third option.

Most of the "truscum" I've seen are totally okay with nonbinary people, as long as they have dysphoria- there are even some nonbinary "truscum", such as dogeself on tumblr, and the enbyk8unit on the same site.

The people who came up with the term "transgender" in the first place advocated it as an umbrella term including things ranging from transsexuality to crossdressing. (It's not usually used that way nowadays, but that was the intention.) So, nope, try again with your ~by nature~ argument.

If someone tells you to "just stop being dysphoric" or that it's wrong of you to fel that way, yes, they're being a dick. If you insist everyone experience their transness the same way as you, you are also being a dick.
