For real. You don't have to vibe with every single trans rep/book out there, but I don't get why people take the time to tell trans authors to stop making their stories, it's so easy to just not consume the content and move on!😭

Thank you so much, you're awesome!! Working on book 3 as we speak!🥺🙏💖

I don't know how to break it to some folks who leave these comments on my books that it's VERY OKAY for trans man authors to write sub/by shy trans man MCs in spicy books.

If you don't like it, don't read: but don't shame trans authors for writing spicy books/rep the way we want to write them. ⤵️🧵

you do realize i am also trans rights CRYING EMOJI be serious. you barely advertise the 'romance' aspect of your work as much as you advertise the fact that your characters are 'lonely and shy' trans boys that are being put into nsfw situations like skinnydipping or bathing with usually a BIGGER and STRONGER man and making them come off as this submissive character. do YOU realize how that comes off?

OPTION 3

C) Lurking in the shadows below, I see a large shape far bigger than any human I've ever known. It moves between the darkness with the swift agility of a beast. My breath catches in my throat. I freeze, as my eyes start to search for a path I can use to escape…

OPTION 4

D) A sharp pain makes itself known around my ribcage. When I pull my hand away from my clothes, it is covered in red.
