Celebrate Trans Characters: Transtide 2022

[simonlorden]

What is TransTide?

Since trans headcanons and the portrayal of trans characters can be personal for many people, writers might be nervous to write trans headcanons without invitation. This mini challenge is for people to signal that they would love to receive trans headcanons, as well as to showcase their requested fandoms with canon trans characters.

Note that this exchange is open to nonbinary characters as well.

How do I participate?

• Leave a comment on this post linking your letter and/or listing your requested fandoms and characters if you 1) requested canonical trans characters, 2) are happy to receive a gift where your writer headcanons one or several of the characters as trans.
• Feel free to add any likes and DNWs.
• Make sure to include your ao3 name!
• If you post a fic for Yuletide with one or more trans characters, tag it with TransTide so people can find it easily.

roguefaerie's TransTide thoughts

[(Anonymous)]

First, thank you to simonlorden for this minichallenge!

AO3 name: roguefaerie
Letter: https://fhionnuisce.dreamwidth.org/1360384.html

DNWs: I'm happy for trans headcanons, but I don't like genderswap. So for example, if a Marvel character is trans in your headcanon, they should not be genderswapped at the same time. Trans masc/trans male Clint, for example, would not be a genderswap.

Also DNW transphobia or transphobic characters in the fic. I don't want the narrative to serve the cis person having an aha moment that trans people are real and valid.

I'll be honest, trans masc and nonbinary headcanons would likely be best for me to avoid dysphoria.

Fandoms:

Sins of the Cities by K. J. Charles has a nonbinary love interest.

Especially open to trans Marvel headcanons for Hawkeye - Matt Fraction comics.
