The biggest thing I’ve learned from these absolute petulant illiterate children whining about tfem Jax (SPECIFICALLY her transness) is truly how little EVERYONE outside of the transfem community actually knows of / talks to real transfems. Like legitimately they don’t even try to hide the fact that they have NEVER spoken to a transfem about her transness MUCH LESS about how WE feel about her. I legitimately have multiple times now (from cis women, cis men, and TRANSMASCS??? alike) seen people tell a trans woman (myself included) that we are “getting too emotional” over the way people are acting about this. It’s like the years of feminism they pretended to learn just stop existing the second they’re aware of the fact that we’re trans and I’m gonna point out the elephant in the room and say that for most of them (I have learned this from almost a decade of being tfem btw, before any of you insolent self-centered schmegeggies start acting persecuted in the reblogs) it’s because they see us as “a trans”, or worse, “a guy who wants to be a girl” (which I will offer upfront, I used to feel unintentionally before I transitioned/when I started to transition) from the inherent internalized transphobia (THAT EVERYONE HAS!!!) in them long before they ever see us as “a woman(, who also happens to have the characteristic of being trans) because they have divorced us in their heads from being included under the “woman” umbrella.
Currently powerscaling fandoms by how normal they are about trans women, send me suggestions
AO3 statistics for trans men
I looked at three main categories of ao3 stats: number of explicit fics, ratio of M/M to M/F fics, and different types of sex listed under "additional tags" (vaginal, oral, etc). There are definitely more things that could be looked at but these are what I focused on.
Explicit rating
At the time I collected these numbers (they've likely already changed, fic authors publish stuff fast) there were 14,221,609 total fics on ao3. Of those, 2,569,913 fics were rated "explicit," or 18.1% of fics. There were 91,487 fics tagged "trans male character," and of those, 43,845 were rated "explicit." That's 47.9% of fics tagged "trans male character."
Nearly half of all fics featuring trans men are explicit, compared to about a fifth of fics overall. This indicates that trans men are heavily sexualized in fandom spaces.
M/M vs M/F fics
For fics in general, there were about 2.0 times as many M/M fics as M/F fics (6,822,062 and 3,439,600, respectively). For fics tagged "trans male character," there were about 6.0 times as many M/M fics as M/F (68,507 and 11,359, respectively).
When filtering for fics rated "explicit," the difference in ratios is even more significant. Explicit fics in general had about 2.2 times as many M/M fics as M/F (1,616,555 and 743,455), while explicit fics tagged "trans male character" had 8.6 times as many M/M fics as M/F (38,490 and 4,489).
Fandoms in general tend to lean more towards M/M relationships than M/F relationships, but this discrepency is much stronger when it comes to trans men, and I'm not sure what the reason for that is. Trans men are more likely to be non-heterosexual than heterosexual, but not necessarily more likely to be attracted to men than women (a lot of trans men are bisexual, pansexual, queer, etc).
Trans male characters are more commonly shipped with men than women, to a greater extent than the overall fandom preference for M/M ships over M/F, and I'm not really sure why, but it's definitely interesting.
Additional tags
For explicit fics tagged as "trans male character," the most popular additional tag by far is "vaginal sex" at 13,685 fics (31.2% of explicit fics tagged "trans male character"). Since this tag doesn't necessarily refer to the trans male character (it could refer to a cis woman being vaginally penetrated by a trans male partner, for example), I filtered for fics tagged as M/M. That resulted in 12,504 fics tagged "vaginal sex," or 32.5% of explicit M/M fics tagged "trans male character."
Overall, for explicit fics tagged as "trans male character," the most common additional tags referring to different types of sex were:
Vaginal sex, at 13,685 fics
Vaginal fingering, at 9,908 fics
Oral sex, at 9,147 fics
Cunnilingus, at 7,712 fics
Anal sex, at 4,590 fics
There definitely are trans men out there who enjoy vaginal penetration/fingering or receiving cunnilingus, and many of the fics tagged as such might be reflective of that fairly common* experience for trans men. That being said, there is a really heavy emphasis on vaginas and vulvas in explicit fics about trans men, and I find that uncomfortable.**
*I think? Unsure how common it actually is
**BEFORE PEOPLE START MISINTERPRETING ME: I'm not saying I'm uncomfortable with trans men who enjoy using their vaginas/vulvas for sex, or the existence of that kind of fic. I'm saying that fandoms in general tend to focus on trans men having vaginas to an extent that I'm uncomfortable with.
me: I don't like how people call ships involving canonically nonbinary characters "yaoi" or "yuri" depending on if their partner is a man or a woman, even though yaoi and yuri are terms describing boy x boy and girl x girl specifically, which erases the nonbinary character's gender.
fuckass pinterest reply: so you think nonbinary characters can't be in lesbian relationships?
are you kidding me.

stopped reading fanfics when a character or the reader insert is trans, the trans guy is always whinny woman lite just there for an extra hole and is always some twink whose acting like a pick me then if theres a trans woman shes agressive and dominant and only there for "girl cock" just like trans man is only there for "man titts" and "boy cunt" intersex rep? nope just bigenital stuff getting tagged as intersex even tho its not. they usually also dont use bigenital but the tag intersex, the h slur or the f (slur? idk if its a slur or just a weird porn category that they also put trans women into)
and it dosent matter if the author is trans or not, the trans characters are only there for fetish. they always make the "bottom" trans, even if the fic isnt sexual, they take the "more submissive one" and make him trans, for trans women its the dominant one or the top, it pisses me off, we can do better than this. please, i know we can.
its crazy but it’s clearly fetishization- reducing transgender characters to a single character type or quality in terms of sexuality, no matter the character or fandom it’s all the same- but a lot of people see the word fetish and flip out and go “oh so you think trans men can’t be feminine? you think all trans women are gender conforming and weak? you think we’re just fetishizing people? IM ALLOWED TO HAVE MY SEXUALITY” which is just like. what’s that one comic where two people are criticizing the narrative or writers of something and the other character goes “WELL I LIKED IT!”. thats how it feels half the time. this leads me to my conclusion of “dean winchester would not fucking bottom,”
ik this is supposed to be an askblog BUT im also going to submit transandrophobia ive seen in the regretevator fandom
basically ik this fella [miché] in my pfp is a removed character from the game BUT...
it genuinely pisses me off so much when ppl misgender miché, use she/her pronouns for him & sometimes even hc him as tfem [which is already erasure of his canon tmasc identity]. i see it as incredibly transandrophobic, like regardless of intent; even if its unintentional or not.
this is how he looks like btw for ref n stuff so yeah :p [note: hq official render recreation by me btw]
i assume said misgendering has skyrockted since his removal from regretevator & his wiki page being deleted [u can read an archived ver of it here] & idk what else to put tbh
i assume theres like other examples of transandrophobia in the regretevator fandom; but this is the only one i could think of atm
was going to add on with how furries treat trans women specifically too but i guess we aren't even thought of in the misogyny conversation.
edit: they replied to me in dms and such and took down thr video which i feel bad for it wasnt my intent - but they assured me it was their choice! which is fair. i just wanted to vent i guess my bad
