Generalized pseudostandard word $\bf u$, as introduced in 2006 by de Luca and De Luca, is given by a directive sequence of letters from an alphabet ${\cal A}$ and by a directive sequence of involutory antimorphisms acting on ${\cal A}^*$. Prefixes of $\bf u$ with increasing length are constructed using pseudopalindromic closure operator. We show that generalized Thue--Morse words ${\bf t}_{b,m}$, with $b, m \in \N$ and $b, m \geq 2$, are generalized pseudostandard words if and only if ${\bf t}_{b,m}$ is a periodic word or $b \leq m$. This extends the result of de Luca and De Luca obtained for the classical Thue--Morse words.
