From my admittedly limited experience, most fic featuring trans men is written by trans men themselves as thinly veiled self-insert.

[(Anonymous)]

In my experience, it's written by women who write it because they find trans men hot. They're also usually shipped with guys to give them the sweet yaoiz. See: Trans!Naoto from Persona 4. She has masculine hobbies, so she must therefore be a guy.

This is a little like claiming that most fic featuring gay men is written by gay men.

Lol as a trans guy at least I'm happy you're admitting it's super limited experience because it shows.

There are some trans men who have trans headcanons (and no, just because someone thinks "I'd like to see characters LIKE me" doesn't mean it's a self-insert, you can start claiming that shit when the character suddenly starts acting exactly like the author or some shit but simply making a cis male trans isn't a self-insert), but like another commenter said the vast majority of this stuff is written by cis women who find the idea of gay sex between trans men and cis men hot.

It's kind of odd to look at the trends because historically and even now the majority of gay cis/trans porn is actually consumed by cis gay men--Buck Angel has talked about his rise in porn and when he first started he assumed he was going to be forbidden titillation for straight housewives who wanted a little walk on the wild side, and he ended up with a MAJORITY cis gay male fanbase, which definitely influenced a lot of his choices of partners in some of his porn, it's like bear-on-bear beefcake muscle as far as the eye can see--but when we delve into the writing and fanart side of things it's overwhelmingly cis women who write and draw it.

I don't know if I necessarily buy that all of these women are specifically attracted to trans men for themselves necessarily, but just like with cis/cis slash fic they seem to find slash involving cis men on trans men super hot as a "bystander" of sorts. Of course there's the ladies who think trans men are just the bee's knees IRL too, but it's less common than the whole bystander thing in my experience.

Maybe it's because my ace ass has been avoiding the porn? But most of what I've read turned out to be vent fic that was super OOC and where it was super obvious the writer was using the story as a platform to air their grievances and talk about their dysphoria etc.
