Curious what this is from?

It's from a stiles x derek story I picked to read and dropped, especially after those specific lines where one character suggests stiles (who in here is a gay man) undergo a "sex change". Stile's fake "friend" scott makes him miserable and says very homophobic things to him that have made stiles go through internalized homophobia himself and instead of helping him accept himself, his other fake "friends" tell him "sex change is an option" :'(, here you go: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14182794?view_full_work=true

Holy shit. That is so extreme. We need a sub called s/TransTheGayAway or something for shit like this. Wow.

I'm sorry you happened upon this while trying to read something for fun, that's gross as fuck.

Thank you so much for understanding me 🥺

I feel terrible everytime I stumble upon anything homophobic and pro-trans (and the "trans" parts are themselves homophobic, so it becomes double homophobic). I had a tough day as usual and wanted to feel better, but that twisted, homophobic and pro-trans story destroyed all my progress and I ended up feeling perplexed and grossed out.

I think even without the pro-trans parts, I would drop that story because it's homophobic everywhere. Scott is so homophobic, tells stiles "you can't be gay your whole life stiles! Act normal if you can't be normal!", and stiles goes through so much psychological pain because of him. I feel so bad for him.

I wish creators would stop making the gay characters miserable. We see a lot of homophobia and pro-trans people in society as it is, I don't need more of them in fiction 😭

I hope to find good stories from now on.

I have had this exact experience before multiple times. I feel you dude. I dunno what types of stories you're into but I have slowly collected a list of stories that do not have any homophobic or pro-trans content in it.

That just sounds like a really bad one, geez.

I agree. I have zero confidence in my abilities to write same-sex relationships, I'm still uncomfortable enough with my own sexuality as it is, but this makes me want to write stories myself, lol.
