Notes:

This is not your forum to identify and call out specific people just to call them assholes. Call out general actions you find reprehensible, mod ability/inability, that kind of stuff, but once you get into what basically amounts to 'this person is a stupid bitch and here are some icons/an lj layout/add. info to identify them with' - no.

Re: OP here

I am trans and I wasn't particularly offended. Some people undoubtedly were, and legitimately so, but ultimately I thought that it was clear that you weren't suggesting people just magically "turn" trans*.

I would encourage going for it, OP, and suggest just using more accurate phrasing and terminology in your summary and a/n, so people can differentiate between how you think of the issue and how the character conceives of herself.

I know several individuals who used to think of themselves as being stuck in the wrong body, and wanting to be physically what they thought they couldn't be due to the biological shell they were born into. I can sympathize with this via my younger self, too.

It's complicated, but idk it's disheartening to see a promising concept shot down before it even begins just because it might not be done perfectly.

Just consider that even though you might ruin someone's day, you also might make someone else's in a pretty big way. :P And it isn't like you'd have to do it on your own. Fandom is huge and parts of it are as helpful as others are vicious and wanky. :)

Thank you!

I'm still not all that confident in my writing abilities, but it'd be nice to actually try this eventually.

Again, I apologize for my poor choice of words.
