as another trans person, it should definitely be labeled. these tumblr fans claim to care about triggers and etc, writing fic which, suprise!, includes trans characters angsting and being disphoric without any warning is irresponsible and cruel. but like you said, any trans voices that disagree with them get labeled self-hating or truscum.

I agree. I'm damn tired of this certain type of fanauthor who keep doing the "surprise trans" stuff after several chapters without any indication of it under the guise of "oh but that's just how progressive I am, I did this because it's supposed to be normalised and if you don't like it you're a bigot!". Well, no, fuck you, maybe I just want to read fanfic without having my dysphoria triggered by people rubbing untagged transfic (and trans-smut) in my face, how about it?

I think a big thing these people don't understand is that a lot of actual real trans people use fandom as escapism to no be reminded of their daily struggles all the damn time and not tagging that stuff is more than shitty.

I could not agree with you more! they're actively willing to throw actual trans people under the bus in the name of being "progressive." I've seen them make analogies to how people used to "warn" for gay pairings in fanfics, and it's ~totally the same~ warning for trans!characters, completely ignoring the fact that reading Kirk/Spock gives you an indication there will be gay content, and gay content does not have the potential to trigger dysphoria.

trans people who are comfortable reading about their favorite characters being trans should absolutely be allowed to find content, but I and many other trans people are not.

NA
"trans people who are comfortable reading about their favorite characters being trans should absolutely be allowed to find content, but I and many other trans people are not."

And both groups benefit from it being tagged.
The former find it easier to search for, the latter find it easier to avoid/blacklist.
(And people whose ability to handle trans!fic varies over time can make more informed decisions as to whether or not they can cope with a fic when it's tagged properly, too.)
