Ha, you really saved your ass with that S!B. The comments would've been a bloodbath otherwise.

I feel the same, and you aren't the only trans person that feels this way. So much trans content feels like its from people who are just... young, or newly out, or see identity as an "ooh! shiny!" type thing instead of just another aspect of yourself. I *want* to like a lot of trans content in my fandom, but a lot of it feels more like a political tract instead of "hey, wouldn't it be interesting if [canon character] was trans" and exploring how it would affect their backstory if applicable. Don't get me started on how it's taboo to express not wanting to see it in smut too. Not everyone likes PIV or breeding or omegaverse tropes, personally when it comes to transcanons I wish there was more T4T stuff instead of "this ship conveniently has different genitals and they might get pregnant" triggering stuff.

(Not saying it shouldn't exist, I'm profic. But it's not -phobic to not be into this *kink*.)

OP here, ngl the tiny devil on my shoulder did whisper a little "but what if we didn't put that in there...." XD

I agree with everything you said. You were able to put my vague feelings of dislike into very apt words!

See, that sort of content sounds interesting!

Just like, 'What if Stiles was bitten instead of Scott' in Teen Wolf, or 'What if Leia grew up on Tatooine instead of Luke' in Star Wars - it can make a very interesting dynamic shift and can have a lot of effect on the story.

Getting half way through a fic, and suddenly Harry Potter gets changed after Quidditch practice and starts soaping up boobies however, is a little jarring and a totally different scenario.

Yep, yep.

My fandom in particular is in a fantasy setting with no modern technology, so I always thought it was a cool possibility to explore on top of how same-sex relationships would be treated. How would transition and surgery work, would it be in the form of magic or an archaic form of HRT injections? Would magic transition resemble the way hormonal transition does in real life, or would it result in having your bodily sex changed? Could magic be used as anesthetic and whatnot for surgeries? Or would this be closer to how transgender people existed before the medical establishment, would it be a matter of presentation via clothing and makeup while going stealth, and only their partners and close friends would know about their trans status? How would nonbinary genders be recognized or defined?

But nope. It's always modern politics inserted in a fantasy world, "this character is [list of labels]" without elaboration, cisheteronormative porn, etc. I know this stuff exists in a small margin, but it's kind of why I blacklist these tags now.

I think it's really offensive how many (clearly insecure and kind of narcissistic) people in fandom weaponize bigotry in order to cajole others into liking what they like. They are taking a point of real suffering and applying it to their personal preferences, appropriating the language oppression for personal gain.

?

They do, but it's hardly confined to trans people.

AYRT

Well yeah, people do it in general. They'll also say you're homophobic, misogynistic, racist, etc for not liking what they like.
