Pride psa:

Hey, fic writers? Please for the love of whatevergod *DO NOT* write "gn afab reader" when you're just going to write a cis woman with they/them pronouns slapped on bc you want to appeal to trans people without doing anything to actually make it be inclusive. Similarly, don't write "gn amab reader" if you're going to write a stereotypical man and, again, slap they/them on it to try to broaden your audience without putting in the actual effort.

If you're going to write a cis male or female reader, just say it. It is incredibly easy to tell when you wrote it that way and just changed the pronouns to be more "inclusive."

#pride #fics #x reader #<-so all of you see this #elliot rambles #saw something that was advertised as gn afab and wouldn't you know. a quick skim showed that op slipped up and wrote she instead of they #4 times maybe more. had them wear typically feminine clothing. called them feminine pet names. I could keep going #it was fem reader. just- just fucking say that instead of getting ppls hopes up on something #only 2 then turn around and hit them with extremely gendered terms and situations like a fucking steel chair to the face #its genuinely sickening honestly. ppl write afab and amab now to just mean women and male readers when that isnt the point of the terms #actually frustrating as hell #since its pride month i am no longer asking nicely #ppl who do that can trigger dysphoria in some trans people and that shit fucking sucks so like- do better.
