"To every cis person who writes a character as trans in their fanfic..."

They are obviously referring to EVERY cis person who writes ANY trans character, because that's what they said with their words. Not your words, which you insist on putting in their mouth.

"who writes a character as trans in their fanfic"

read what you just quoted. they're talking about writing canon characters as trans, not just about writing trans characters in general. that's what they said with their words.

NA

That's fair, can you also acknowledge that they didn't say anything about fetishizing or SJW brownie points, just about writing trans characters in fic

Show me in the secret where 'a character' is specified as a subset of 'canon characters'. I'll wait.

"writing a character as trans" has a very different implication from "writing a trans character." phrasing matters.

(Anonymous) 2014-12-11 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly doesn't imply anything about "...because they have short hair and I want brownie points/wank material".

(Anonymous) 2014-12-11 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
"They're very obviously referring to the people who declare things like "such-and-such character has short hair and always wears pants so she's totally a trans guy!" and then writes fic about that."

You were wrong, though. Just admit that you were wrong, that you read that into the secret because that isn't as blatantly hateful as what was actually said.
