I thought the problem was that the cishet women present themselves as cis gay men to gain credibility. Not people exploring if they're trans gay men.

I think the argument is that acting like a cis gay man is probably the kind of thing that would appeal to someone generally experimenting with putting on masculinity, and so for that reason, it would probably naturally appeal to a lot of baby trans men.

sa

I'm more familiar with the scandals of cishet women writing and speaking with the authority and identiry of a cis gay man in pro m/m novels though, not fandom.

That's a fair point tbh, it seems like that would probably be a very different situation

original anon: that was actually the point I was more going for, that the fakers were definitely doing it as an attention-seeking activity and to be able to lord their position as the Foremost Expert in Cis Gay Sex above all the silly dirty fangirls. I didn't make that clear, that's my fault.

Not really. It's not such a huge difference if the kiddies trying out new identities go ahead and attempt to lord their new try-out identities over everyone else in fandom and act like they're some kind of authority on issues pertaining to certain identities -in this case (cis)gay men- that they have absolutely no knowledge of or experience with.
