    Yeah, pretty much. Fandoms have always existed and straight women have always enjoyed writing gay smut. But now heterosexual and straight are like dirty words so obviously they gotta justify their obsession with men in other ways.

    The fanfiction writer / obsessed fangirl to FTM pipeline is just as real as The porn addict / fetishist to MTF one.

    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.
