This just doesn't sit well with me. On a level where "Why does this character have to be black? I'm not racist! I have a black friend!" doesn't sit well with me either.

Hrm.

[(Anonymous)]

I have no idea where you are pulling that interpretation from.

"I don't like MTF in fic but I am dating a MTF so it's okay I'm not a bad person or anything."

[(Anonymous)]

....But they would be perfectly within their rights to prefer not to date or read about trans women if they didn't want to? I'm a trans person myself and it's not "transphobia" if you prefer not to read about the specific tropes and crap that usually pops up in trans fics. I skip over a lot of it myself because of just that reason.

The only thing the secret says is that "it's not about hating trans women", which is a perfectly okay thing to want to get across. It sounds like OP may be a cis lesbian/bi/pan girl herself, and considering what a crappy reputation cis lesbians have concerning MtF women (and to some degree FtM guys, they regularly break them down to their vaginas all the while claiming they're still lesbians even though they're serially dating dudes) I can see why she(?) may want to separate herself from that. It's okay to like something in real life and not enjoy it in fiction.

To be honest I pretty much agree with secret!OP myself, unless the character is AMAB and presents femme I have a really hard time imagining someone like...I don't know, Rin from Free! being MtF or Saitama from One Punch Man (although believe it or not I did read a cute fic that dealt with this, but it was definitely OOC), but I could stretch my imagination and see FtM Rin (the reason I say "stretch my imagination" is because they're a bunch of teenage boys who run around shirtless half the time, and for a FtM guy to have top surgery at their age is pretty damn rare even in the States, and Japan treats trans people like it's still 1990) or FtM Saitama(...maybe? I haven't thought about it before, truthfully I could see FtM Genos more easily).

You're trans, but you don't think that muscular or sporty bio male people can be trans women. Okaaaaay...

[(Anonymous)]

Do you have reading comprehension issues? I said in fiction. It feels like purposely erasing their gender identity/expression, which is something we already have canon evidence for. Trans headcanons are often based around presentation and "hmmn, could be" type hints, or did you miss like literally every single crossdressing character ever being headcanoned as trans? When you're dealing with a finite amount of information, you need to take some of it at face value or risk going into out of character territory, and yes, Saitama suddenly wearing a dress or Rin showing up to practice in a woman's bathing suit would be incredibly OOC.

Okaaaaaaaaaay? God, grow up with this shit. I'm so tired of cis people thinking they can, for lack of a better word, "cissplain" and tell trans people how to be The Good Trans, especially when dealing with something as insignificant as headcanons for characters that are in all likelihood cis anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

Not cis, so your argument is invalid. It's also stupid. "It's fanfic" is no excuse for saying that buff MTFs can't exist. See: My wife.

They don't like hoe FtM ~characters~ are depicted.

[(Anonymous)]

What the hell are you even trying to say here? Between the typo and the sarcastic tildes that are seemingly for no reason, you're not making any sense. Wtf is with people on here trying to make secret OP feel bad for her/his(I think it's a she, lesbian MtF girlfriend and all) preference in fics? I'm trans too, and I get exactly what they mean. It feels really weird seeing characters basically get turned hugely OOC to fit a MtF headcanon. If she'd rather see FtM characters because it preserves the appearance, gender identity and general personality of the characters involved who gives a shit?

[solticisekf]

I said that OP didn't say anything close to "but I have a black friend".
~ is for emphasis because I can't be bothered with italics.

What do you have against typos? I type like that, deal with it. I give you my permission to skip all my comments if they stress you so much. Go take a walk to calm down, jeez.

[(Anonymous)]

Your typo + using tildes in place of italics gave your comment a very sarcastic air. It also looked like you were replying to another comment in my browser, I apologize. I thought you were another one of the users who were shitting all over secret OP and getting really uppity without once actually asking actual trans people what we feel about this sort of thing.
