Reminder to other authors in this space I do my best to love
Please add a note at the top of your fics to specify the reader's gender
Female/feminine reader is the most common, but not everyone reading identifies that way. There is truly nothing worse as a transmasc person than starting a fic, enjoying it, then getting fucking misgendered by a tumblr post if I get into it
On a good day it's mildly irritating, on a bad day it can be genuinely upsetting. I just want to enjoy reading like everyone else
Just a note at the top like "Sukuna x fem!reader" or whatever formatting you want, and if you really wanna push the boat out, tag it as jjk x female reader or whatever the applicable fandom is
And on a related note, please stop putting gender neutral fics in the male reader tags. That isn't a male reader, it's gender neutral. That has its own tag
Please do reblog this if you engage in the reader insert space in any capacity. I want people to see this, to get this on people's dashes, to maybe hopefully create some actual change because it just sucks (and for me has steered me away from reading on tumblr)
