(Anonymous) 2024-08-02 12:20 am (UTC)(link)I mean, you know and I know and we all know that the meta reason for it happening is "because it's the author's kink" and most of the fics do not go into any of the above details or explain anything, but acting like it's impossibleeeee hooow? i don't understaaand is hyperbole in the opposite direction.
Their kink is not my kink and that's ok.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-02 12:36 am (UTC)(link)Like yes, it's a reach, if the fic writers want to reach, they can reach without violating canon.
I'm not going to make that reach or read that fic, but I'm also not going to bother shaking my fist and demanding rhetorically whyyyyyyy? /shrug

(Anonymous) 2024-08-02 05:55 am (UTC)(link)There's not really a reason why Iva's powers shouldn't be able to do a partway transformation. It doesn't make sense that hormones change the biological sex of a person anyway, a halfway transformation makes neither less nor more sense that a full transformation.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-02 06:07 am (UTC)(link)Having said that, for this character in particular the whole point actually is that we thought he was a cis dude for the longest time, until it turned out he has a history with another character who can change people's biological sex through magic powers, and said character knows a big secret about the dude. The jump to "dude was born female and Ivankov changed his sex to male" was immediate.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-02 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)A lot of times I don't think it's even exactly "fetish" fic, it's "I want fic about blorbo getting railed that I can imgine myself in, and I have a vagina" (a lot of the time even the stuff that's really perfunctory about the trans aspects is written by trans folks) but yeah.
It's at least marginally better than the "I want to write het fic but between two cis dudes because vaginas are icky, which I will state repeatedly" that we used to get, I guess.

(Anonymous) 2024-08-02 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)The good thing about the past is that it shows us that things change soon enough. Fandom got over it's "ew, girls" phase, it'll get over the annoying current trends as well.
