So, do you think it's not changing the character (and that it's ok) to write a trans character as cis without tagging it properly?

Actually, don't tell me anything. I'm sure you'll talk about erasure, while forgetting some of us are talking about an author changing something important about a character deserves getting tagged instead of being a surprise.

No, I don't think that's okay because trans* characters and people are marginalized as it is. I really don't see what the big deal is with writing a character that is "canonically" cis or het as trans* or gay and not tagging it.

Yeah, while an author can tag it, I don't think it needs to be and whining about it just makes you sound like an entitled baby, to be honest. There are certain things I don't like in fic, but I'm not going to send a message to the author demanding that they warn for it.

Like I said before, at the end of the day it's just a fanfic. If you discover something in the middle you don't like, you can just move onto another.

I really don't see what the big deal is with writing a character that is "canonically" cis or het as trans* or gay and not tagging it.

The big deal is if people aren't expecting it, they'll get angry when it is sprung on them, send the writer flaming reviews and generally be pissed off for being tricked and unpleasantly surprised.

I would be unhappy if a fic I was expecting to be het suddenly, unexpectedly turned into femmeslash. Because I am not a femmeslash shipper. I ship slash and some het, and prefer to read about penises going into holes.

Wow. Someone unexpected in a work of fiction? Amazing!

I don't like mpreg. I'm not going to throw a tantrum if the author doesn't tag it, though.

I'm not either, but that's because I'm laid-back to the point of apathy. I am however realistic to acknowledge that there are some unreasonably reactionary people online, and in fandom.
