Ugh, agreed. Do those people not realize that for actual trans people, running across surprise!trans character fic can legitimately ruin their day if it triggers their dysphoria?

ime no, they genuinely don't. which is odd, given how terminally online a lot of fandom is, and how many transfolks are in their online personal orbit...it strikes me as uncomfortably weird. they probably are internet-friends with how many trans people and yet never give a thought about how we might take their hot-take fics? they don't. and it's unpleasant to wonder why they don't talk to us before spouting off about headcanons in the "so and so is trans I don't make the rules." you can't be an ally by willfully ignoring the pain caused to the people you're supposedly allied with.

It's kinda weird how you're implying the people who do this aren't also mostly trans. The real problem is that they aren't aware that not everyone else's trans experience is like theirs. For some people, it's empowering to toss their identity onto every character they feel like and tell everyone else about it. This is shitty closed-minded behavior, but you're doing the same thing in the other direction by implying that none of the people doing it are trans because every real trans person's experience is to be triggered by such behavior.

So much this.

Though, to be fair, I've seen this in a lot of communities where a fraction of it thinks it represents what everyone in their group thinks and feels, for various reasons.

I've lost count of how many times I've seen survivors of sexual abuse in fandom pick a fight with someone who they assume is an evil rapist writing rape "for titillation" or "to glorify it," and heap abuse on another survivor who writes rapefics. I think everyone has a right to write dark themes, regardless of what they've experienced. Living in a culture where rape exists means a lot of people think about it and have feelings, and want to grapple with them at the safe remove of "I'm sort of in control and it's not happening to me right now." But the crusading seems to overwhelmingly involve survivors attacking more-stigmatized survivors.
