I've brought this up privately to some fandom friends who agreed with me but only that not every Aiden was a Real Trans Man, but we should treat them like they are just in case. IMO it's a side effect of Shipping Is Activism and it's not woke to be a straight women (or even a lesbian I've observed) writing slash.

I've never went that deep into any fandom so I wouldn't know about any of this. Man, LGBT has really become just a form of social currency, hasn't it?

I've been involved in some form of fandom since 2003 so I'm unfortunately too familiar with this stuff. It's definitely treated like a get out of jail free card or a way to invalidate the opinion of someone you don't like. Super fucked up.

I don't know who coined "woque," but I just decided it's a blend of "woke" and "clique."
