I also don't understand this trend, since it doesn't seem to be about trans representation. It seems more like it is a way for the (most likely) AFAB authors to get the aegosexual distance they need from their porn through an m/m ship, but at the same time get to see their genitals/ preferred sexual positions in fic. Which is fine - there's no right way to do fandom - as long as you FREAKING TAG IT.

This.

I don't get how y'all are able to read fic authors' psyches like this. It's just porn on the internet written by some person you don't know that you happened to click on.

AYRT

People interpret others' intentions all the time. It's part of being human. I may be completely wrong, but there isn't anything particularly strange about me speculating on the scale of things.

PS: I don't think people would be taking about this trend in fic so much if the authors consistently tagged it. I don't mind it in fic and respect those who desire it, I just don't understand why you would write it and not tag it when that could actually cause discomfort or harm due those with dysphoria. On top of it being something that a lot of people may just not want in their porn. The trend to not tag it is completely strange to me.

I always see people complaining about it 'not being tagged' but I've never come across this. If someone's written trans fic in my fandoms, it's tagged, if I missed the tag when scrolling and clicked on the fic that's on me for the 'surprise'. And this has happened to me several times, it was tagged, I just didn't read the tags properly. I didn't however throw a pissy-fit and act like the author was out to get me, I either read it or didn't and carried on with my day. It's really not a big deal.

And if someone was doing this in my fandoms and I wasn't into it I'd just filter their username out. Simple. Easy. Requires little effort.

It happens often enough that people notice and complain about it. Just because you personally haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. There was a certain trend a while ago to intentionally not tag it to basically ~teach people a lesson~ which the authors freely admitted in the end notes so yeah, some of those authors were specifically out to "get" people.

And those authors sound like dicks but that doesn't make them representative of the entire group writing a topic no matter how many people in this secret thread are tying to frame it that way. Trans fic writers aren't a monolith, they aren't having secret meetings about how to piss ya'll off, they're individuals in their respective fandoms writing what they want. The fact that some of them might be dicks is just a sad reality of people more than anything else.

If I ever see a writer doing this I'll block them/filter them out because I wouldn't want to give them attention, but so far I haven't and the trans fic writers I have talked with personally have been nice and just doing their own thing. This fact isn't negated because there are some assholes in the group.
