just a reminder that “being gay isn’t a personality trait” is just an evolved form of “i don’t care if you’re gay i just don’t want to see it”. no gay man thinks it’s their only personality trait, no lesbian thinks it’s their only personality trait, no trans person thinks it’s their only personality trait. you’re just annoyed by someone embracing a large part of themselves and being comfortable in their body and in a community of people like them.

ok i’m going to make a more in depth response to this bc it unexpectedly blew up but i’m seeing a lot of responses and tags about babygays and i need y’all to understand something real quick. y’all need to realize that babygays being obnoxious is literally not harming anybody and we all know it’s a phase they’ll eventually grow out of; it’s really not that deep i promise you. cishet boys and girls can go through phases in their pre and early teens of being “boy/girl crazy” or being obsessed with performing their gender the way they want but when lgbt kids do it then or even a little bit later y’all suddenly have a problem with it. these are just kids, don’t come at them with your own internalized phobias.

Okay, granted, it’s been a while since I’ve seen “all trans readers like one kind of fic, and no trans readers ever like another kind of fic, so it is Transphobia when you write the Wrong Kind.”

…but it hasn’t been that long since I’ve seen someone quietly wonder if they’re a Bad Trans Person for having preferences.

So it’s never a bad time to say: different people have different needs, and it’s okay to be fulfilled by different kinds of stories!

(heck, the same person might have different needs at different points in their own life, and that’s okay too)

This needs to be said!

Semi-related, the same goes for writing any LGBTQIA+ content. Some people want realism and layers containing realistic societal issues.

Others find it uncomfortable, and prefer to read fics that take place in a “magical, queer utopia.”

Both are valid, and nobody should be shamed for writing ‘realistic’ fics or ‘utopia’ fics. Nor ought anybody be shamed for their reading preferences.

It takes all the colours to make a rainbow. Feel free to enjoy your favorite hue; and allow others to enjoy theirs 🌈
