if u were trans you'd realize "my trans friend totes told me to" is a shitty fucking excuse for an excuse for cis ppl to write shit about trans characters hth
sry but i don't actually have a problem with cis authors writing trans characters as long as they're not fetishizing us because i'd kind of rather have trans characters actually exist
i especially don't have a problem with it when they're writing it for a trans friend, and the trans friend is feeding them info to make the story as respectful and realistic as possible
it's almost like trans people have differing opinions and that having a different opinion doesn't make a person not trans
