Even worse, “because they’re AFAB”

Exactly! & yeah like, I don’t like blame trans people for writing from what they know (because everyone does that) or not writing about stuff that’s personally painful because that’s kinda why *I* don’t really have gender related fic in my body of work. But it’s still tough

knowledge, or just don’t want it and therefore are writing from their experiences. Or just cis writers being cis but I don’t expect them to write shit like that regardless lmaooo

I want to avoid getting too personal here but also like as a guy who aims to not live his entire life with the sex organs he was born with, I’d rather “guy with a pussy” not be default code for trans guy, you feel

I don’t want people to just slap the label “trans” on characters who don’t move through the world anything like actual trans guys, especially when it comes to pwp. Clearly for-the-audience’s-sake disclaimer-style throwaway mentions of top surgery scars make me roll my eyes more than anything

I was in good spirits because the snow WAS kind of magical… I don’t have actually nice pictures since I had places to be just proof of existence pics
