The F/F discourse made me flashback to a tagging question I actually wanted to run by you. The short version is that there are fans who insist that Character A/Character B isn't F/F because B is a woman who also happens to have a micro penis canonically. She identifies as a woman, she was assigned female at birth, there's zero indicator in canon she's ever identified as anything else, and her friends and family treat her as a woman. I'm not concerned with them. They can go fuck themselves.

What does give me pause is people saying it should be tagged as "trans woman character" or things along those lines. Obviously, if trans women want to read about a woman with a dick, I want it to be tagged so that they can. On the other hand, B was assigned female t birth and has always identified as a woman. So saying she's "trans" feels awkward to me, as she didn't transition from one gender to another, she's always been and always been treated as a woman.

Should I put a tag on stories with her mentioning she has a penis? Is it transphobic to not count her as trans? I'm cis, I don't know how wide or narrow the trans umbrella is as a lived experience. Maybe some trans women do look at her and go, "she just like me fr". I don't want to come across as transphobic.

I'm cis too, more or less, but if this is a real world-ish setting, that sounds far more like an intersex character than a trans character to me.

I would likely not tag with anything in particular since the fic isn't about that and trust that people who are into the canon are aware of the particulars of this character.
