Is it just me or can a lot of the transphobia tied to omegaverse instead be attributed to cis authors who rely on trans- and homophobic stereotypes of trans people to write their fanfic?
Especially since tropes are ever evolving. I don't know about you but I don't think it has to be a requirement to make omegas especially sweet and loving and caring and "uwu soft bean, most protecc, can do no harm ever <3333", or to make alphas inherently aggressive and territorial and protective. That kind of projected radfem-brand of gender essentialism is, I think, only really baked in there because people keep insisting it is and that it'll never change when... it could change. It could Very Easily Change, if people were willing to change it.
Not to mention, as a trans person, I feel like omegaverse can provide a LOT of opportunity to explore gender (especially if you go into the realm of having characters be trans not just in terms of primary sex, but also (and potentially in addition to) in terms of secondary sex) and how it interacts with who you are and who you want to be.
While yes, there can definitely be a lot of transphobia embedded if it's not written with care, so can pretty much everything. I feel like the trope itself isn't necessarily as transphobic as people tend to act like it is, but rather it's the authors writing with an unintentionally transphobic bias a lot of the time. Of course, there are some popular elements that are used that do lean on transphobia and gender essentialism, but... those elements don't have to be used.
I dunno, maybe there's something I'm not thinking of, I'm just tired of people acting like omegaverse is uniquely evil and transphobic where other tropes can't be (for... some reason that's never specified as to why other tropes can't be as bad as they claim omegaverse is?) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tl;dr, I feel like people are making omegaverse out to be more transphobic of a trope than it actually is, when a lot of that supposed transphobia can be attributed to cis authors relying on trans- and homophobic stereotypes along with widespread radfem-brand gender essentialism within fandom, and that while some popular elements of omegaverse can be transphobic, those popular elements don't have to be essential to omegaverse and can pretty easily be done away in my eyes.
Yea its kinda wack. I definitely feel like omegaverse gets a lot of extra bullshit The other porn tropes just don't get?
I am trans but am also a weird type of tyranny faggot trans. Ya know?? I am extremely attracted to omegaverse because the omega male/alpha female body type is my ideal. I mean, I'm salmacian picking a side just isn't for me. I am capital T trans. I have no desire to look or be cis of either gender. The only thing I wanna pass as is a freak. I was a dick small tits and a pussy it's a weird set up and I only see rep I get to see myself in is omegaverse.
Basically, what I'm getting at is that there is no perfect representation. Some people find omegaverse transphobic, but as a trans person myself, it's the only time I get representation. It's not a one type fits all sorta thing. No rep is.
Sometimes, you just gotta ignore folks and do what ya want. Write what you want and read what you want. You never know what will grab someone and speak to them. People who want to take issue will make them regardless.

I was told today that I wasn't "fully trans" because I was on the NB spectrum and because of that can't use the word tranny because of it by a trans male i knew irl. I have known I was transgender since age 10. I came out before my 11th birthday. I reclaim tranny as an empowering term for myself, and I use it around my friends comfortably.
I don't know why this happened to me, I'm still in shock. I don't know how other trans people can be so terrible. Even if we're not close, we're supposed to find solidarity in the fact we are both trans. I am not "less than you" because I'm not a man or a woman. Just like he isn't less than me because I came out earlier than he did.
Do we really find it right to police and gatekeep transgenderism? Because the last time I checked transgenderism is a broad and very unique spectrum of very unique people.

Some of y'all mfs really do see a dykey genderfuck talking about gender theory and immediately assume they're secretly TERF-y/not trans even when they're blatantly surrounded by flashing neon signs that say "TERF ideology is harmful and bad!! Gender essentialism is a plague!! Decolonize your idea of gender and gender identity!!!" and I'm sorry but that's fucking weird and misogynistic of you

Goodness, I am terribly sorry about that. But I am glad to know now so we may avoid saying anything like that in the future.
But going along with everything else you said, we are more than happy to be on the receiving end of any of that. Most of what we fantasize about is something we enjoy giving and receiving. And of course, we would always be happy to be the ones inflicting pain onto you.

That's alright, thank you! It does sound quite fun to force you to carve my name into yourself as I make you struggle against my cock, whether in you while you cut yourself for me or in those pretty wounds as you bleed and try not to pass out <3 the shakier and shallower the letters are, the more I'll make you go over it again, so you should do your best to do perfect for me the first time
