Ah, Transphobia
Apr. 17th, 2023 05:25 pmI suppose getting my first transphobic comment on my fanfiction is a milestone of sorts.
Which is to say, it's a series in which I have imagined the primary character as trans. I tag for "trans Julian Bashir" on the individual stories where it actually comes up in some way; I don't tag it on the ones where it's never mentioned. And I actually mention that in a chapter note for one of the stories with the tag, because I added the tag partway through posting-- I hadn't thought it was going to come up until much later, and then I started thinking about the living arrangements on Terok Nor. So there's a chapter note at the start of the chapter where I added it saying we've added a tag and I've planned him as trans all along but I was expecting it to not come up yet and hadn't initially tagged for it.
