God, this is so bad. I need people to understand that sometimes there are groups and places where they just don't belong and never will. And this is the same for EVERYBODY. I can't help but feel somewhat responsible for this situation where straight girls are transitioning to be gay men, because I've written a lot of fanfiction in my life, but always with the mindset that this is not real; this is from women TO women; this is just for FUN. Meanwhile people like this must've been in the same culture, reading stuff with a completely different mindset. Fuck.

Same. I can’t even enjoy genderbent fics anymore because all I can think is that some pornsick transbian is finding it validating.

Oof, that sucks; I'm so sorry to hear you can't enjoy something you used to like. I've not even thought about MTFs lurking in fandoms, since during my 10+ years in them, I've seen only one biological male actively taking part. But I'm not into anime, which seems to be their brand of fandom. Fandoms used to be pretty exclusively female spaces, but now I'm seeing this massive emergence of FTMs and can't help but wonder if I've played a part in presenting gay relationships in such a way that these people feel lured into it. Into total fiction that was never meant to reflect reality. It's pretty messed up that I even have to think about this.

Omg GP is the bane of fanfic

Yes! There’s nothing like reading a bunch of tags that sound pretty good, then they hit you with that “GP!YourFavoriteCharacter” right at the end. No thank you.

Like, bro, just have your fav character get out the strap, no need to trans the fic. It’s usually bisexuals who write them like that, I think. So maybe it’s not so offensive to them? I would avoid tagging it lesbian if there is gonna be some weird futanari shit tho.

It's absolutely still offensive to us.

Thanks for weighing in! I wondered. I know some bi women who write fics like that but I figured it couldn’t be all of them. Lol. My best female friend is a married febfem and she likes her “dudes like dudes” and “chicks like chicks” and no chicks+dicks, her words.

pornsick transbian

It's phrases like this I didn't even realize I've been missing while sticking around past Reddit's expiration date.
