Morphology
truscum + perspective
The element 'truscum' is a rare, community-specific label (specialized jargon) whose meaning is not derivable from its form, so knowing the transparent noun 'perspective' does not allow a B1 learner to infer the ideological sense. This is an ideological term rather than a compositional phrase and lacks cross-linguistic or everyday compositional cues, making the overall expression unpredictable for learners.
Etymology
Truscum perspective may come from mixing true with a harsh online ending to name people who say only those with 'gender dysphoria' are really transgender. Imagine someone drawing a strict line and pointing only to the people on one side; that image helps explain why the term now means that narrow belief.
