Myself, I kind of find trans-premise stories in the same category as genderswap or any other kind of role-swap - perfectly fine, maybe even potentially interesting although not usually something I'd seek out, but it's something that should probably be actually addressed in the fic.

For instance, if I'm seeing a straight-up TOS missionfic, I expect that I will be reading about Captain James T. Kirk. Not Captain Jane T. Kirk, or Chief Engineer James T. Kirk, or Captain James T. Kirk who by the way was born Jane T. Kirk, without any sort of explanation as why we have a canon divergence.

And if I'm seeing a fic about Jane T. Kirk being the awesome female captain of the Enterprise when female captains are not yet a common thing, or James T. Kirk who changed his mind and decided he didn't want the responsibility of being a captain but still loves to keep his starship running, or Jane T. Kirk becoming James T. Kirk and realizing his dream of being a man AND a starship captain in such an era, I expect that the author wanted to tell that story because they recognized it diverges from canon and has potential to be a cool story in its own right.

Thanks for replying -- that makes sense to me. :)
