Holy tl;dr, Batman.

Also: dude, no one gives a fuck about your sex life with your gf.

This.

I sympathize with your point, but making a whole new tldr secret to rant about an old secret and talk about the TMI details of how you have sex was not the smartest move you could have made.

Nobody cares about your sex life. What the hell.

This cold go for a lot of things in fanfiction.

It's common sense.

Seriously. I didn't write a certain juggernaut pairing in a fandom I was in but the comments were so often, "This would have been better as x/y instead." that I started pre-ambling TAGGED FICS that there would be no x/y and not to read it if that's what they were looking for just because I was losing my patience...

Fandom would be a much less drama-filled place if everyone followed your advice. Sadly, I don't see it ever happening.

It's not a bad thing to try and have a dialogue about this, but prefacing it with a paragraph where you basically fling your intimacy at the reader is not the best way to go about it...

Dude, I'm trans too but I just don't give a crap about your teal deer. Cliffs notes next time maybe?

I like trans secrets just fine, but I like a well designed secret even more. Try again trans anon, with more fandom, less tmi, readable font & length and preferably a hint of humor.

Am I asking too much? Maybe, but you are addressing a tough crowd after all.

The reactions to this are funny. People talk about their sex lives all the time on this comm.

I mean, it should have been in GC rather than as a "secret" (hence the appropriate failbar designation), but if it were, I wonder if people would have reacted the same way.

It's awkward in the same way that talking about social perceptions of gay people by using descriptions of how OP and their partners suck cock or eat pussy would be.

Usually when people talk about their sex lives it's in the context of sex, not in the context of how people treat people or arguing a social justice related point. You don't see many posts going "I loved that Avengers movie p.s. I went home and put things in my vagina" subject: "talk about the new Avengers movie."

*shrug* I guess.

I didn't really get awkward vibes from it. But eh.

I don't think your comparison really works because sex in the case of this secret is directly applicable to the subject matter, which is sexual fetishization of trans people.

I know, right? And it's a passing mention, not explicit detail. Sheesh.

Really. It's literally "I use a vagina and my partner uses a penis." Which is true of like 90+% of sexual encounters ever...so it's a weird thing for people to get TMI about. Most children know how PIV works, it's not like a sudden reveal of some kind of far-out kink...

I thought that too.

There's a weird vibe to everyone getting so bent out of shape about it.

Except the OP of that secret was very clear that they found it sexy in a way that transness was fap fodder.

The OP wasn't nearly as blatant about it as some of the commenters, though. I seem to recall someone unironically using the term "cuntboy" to refer to trans men.

Nope, that was me and it was a whole rant about how being trans and how being a cuntboy or a dickgirl was two entirely different things. So advising the OP if they liked dudes with cunts without all the real life issues involved in fetishizing something or someone that exists in real life then they'd be better off looking for cuntboy stuff.

Next you social justice weirdos will be saying tentacle monsters are fetishizing cultural appropriation and yellowface or something.

TITC: ...am i the only one who has no problem with this?

This would be like me ignoring a "character death" tag and then getting mad there's character death... It's really dumb.

Me: "male character/male character. Slash. Yaoi. It's gay love. Nohetero"

About two dozen comments: Omg I read it and they were gay! It was awful. They shouldn't be gay. I wouldn't have read it if I knew they were gay.

Me: .... ok. So. You can read the fic, but not the tags and summery and chapter headers that say this is hella gay? That's weird. You're weird.
