Are the tropes legitimate, and the entries properly written? If so, then this may still be acceptable. It's when it comes to ymmv reactions to one's own work(s) that there starts to be a problem.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Written properly to the best I could and I'm aware of the no YMMV tropes trope'd by the works author rule.

My understanding of current policy is that crosswicking a work page's (proper) trope examples to the corresponding trope pages is not merely acceptable, it's required. That rule doesn't fall just because the work in question happens to be your own.

Bigotry in the name of inclusion is still bigotry.

Yes, it's a requirement even for your own work.
