❌ Transgender as a noun

Dehumanizing

Ignorant

Puts the label before the person

Makes you sounds like a bigoted old man

“Those damn transgenders”

✅ Transgender as a verb

Sick as fuck

The name of my secret special move

Vaguely ominous

Your gender is never safe

“Get transgendered, loser”

I just read your rant post and wanted to say that even if I'm not trans, I agree with you.

And I wanted to say that the people who commented under your reddit post (the ones you mentioned at least) and the author who deleted the comment I AO3 are just, well, ✨borderline idiotic✨ and ✨the kind of stupid where your head hurts because you facepalm so much✨

So I think your reaction and all is very much valid if you feel uncomfortable with some of their shit

Just wanted to say that-

Sorry if that bothers you or anything-

Uhm, have hugs and kisses and boops because that's all I can think of right now!

(sorry for that, sleepy and emotional and hungry right now-)

Thank you awww! This helped make my day a little better, you’re so sweet <3

Rant ahead, prolly gonna delete later

TW: gender dysphoria, fetishization of trans men in fanfiction

Idk if it’s just me but I’m a trans guy who typically won’t touch “trans male [character]” smut fics with a ten foot pole. I’ve found a handful that are respectfully written, but for the most part they make me feel so fucking uncomfortable. It’s like the (non-trans) writers don’t see trans men as real men. There’s frequent untagged feminization, excessively feminine terms, and an alarming number of pregnancy fics. I get that some people like these things, and I respect that, but that’s pretty much ALL that’s out there. It’s like they want to write for a m/m ship but only want to write m/f smut, so they slap “trans” on there. It’s so blatantly obvious that the majority of these writers have never done a drop of research on what it means to be trans masc, much less MET a trans masc person irl.

Not only that, complaining about it makes YOU the bad guy. I made a post on the AO3 subreddit back when I first joined it (aka before I knew better) just kind of venting about the way trans characters are written in fics. I was a lot more gentle and understanding about it than I’m being here btw. And instantly the post got flooded with comments saying that “just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean other people don’t.” Or “my roommate’s boyfriend’s brother is trans and he doesn’t care about that stuff.” Or that people are free to write whatever they want and if I don’t like it I shouldn’t be reading it. (My favorite one was “I’m cis but I don’t see an issue”) I ended up deleting the post.

Back in February there was this fic I read that did all that same shit and it pissed me off. Untagged feminization, afab language, the whole shebang. And I KNOW that author wouldn’t have treated the character that way if they were writing a cis man. For legal reasons, this comment was not written by me, but it was deleted by the author right away with no response.

I blocked them and moved on.

I guess what brought all these emotions back was a post I saw where someone was complaining about other cultures being written in an accidentally offensive way in fics. The same people who tore down my post (and others like it) were suddenly all into the idea of respecting the cultures you write, doing research on them, etc. How is trans culture any different? Why is it “um actually some trans guys like being feminized” but then “these cultural stereotypes are offensive and the author should do better?”

Not too long ago, I decided to start writing trans characters in fics. It was really tough for me, since I had to battle a lot of my own dysphoria, but I felt like it was worth it if it meant there was just one more fic out there to make trans people feel seen and respected. Being seen as a real man and being trans should not be mutually exclusive. It’s possible to be both. And it’s painfully obvious when the writer doesn’t see it like that.

If you’re trans and you feel the same way about all this, lmk. Sometimes I feel like I really am the unreasonable one and that I’m all alone here and it really fucks with my head.

And if you’re cis and wanting to write trans characters, I implore you to learn about us first. Trans people are not a shortcut to writing m/f smut. They have their own unique experience of the world that needs to be taken into account if you’re going to write them respectfully. Listen to trans voices. Please.

WOOOO I MADE A LINKTREE

Pfp closeup under the cut

Also I super put off making a ko-fi tip jar, but today I finally did (which is what made me create the linktree). I was always like “I’m not popular enough to make one” or “no one’s gonna just give me money” but I was talking to my mom and I realized there’s really no harm in just making one.

Anyway here’s the ko-fi link

And hereeeees the pfp!

Ppl who know me irl know I have an unhealthy obsession with Wooper, so I had to doodle him for my pfp haha
