Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Even as a Cis person I gotta speak up and say that name is a little uncomfortable because it conflates someone that's just pretending to be the opposite sex for a relationship with people that are actually transgender which has some Unfortunate Implications
We really need a better title on that.
Edited by shoboniI've mentioned it on the TLP itself, but I think it's already covered by Trans Equals Gay, and splitting it off as a subtrope basically requires a mindset that Trans Equals Gay is Truth in Television (since it requires the idea that a trans persons just a "super gay" who wants to become a member of the opposite gender, rather than anything resembling an actual trans person to make logical sense, which would mean that Trans Equals Gay already covers it).
TV Tropes's No. 1 bread themed lesbian. she/her, fae/faerI disagree that splitting the subtrope rests on believing Trans Equals Gay is true IRL. The IRL Pakistani and Iranian examples consider the two to be entirely separate: they believe that gayness is a choice but transness is a medical condition that can be cured with SRS, which is why one is strongly stigmatised and the other supported, and non-trans people are having sex changes specifically so they don't get accused of being gay.
Edited by Clanger00Guys, the problem isn't whether or not the trope is a good one, the problem is someone discarding twice after Xfllo had expressed their interest in trying to make the draft work. If the idea can't work it will be discarded, but it's wrong to make a call like that ignorant of anyone who wants to try to make the idea work.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI didn't see this before my post in the TLP clean-up thread (here
). Honestly, I think the draft is not salvageable from 0 hats and 14 bombs. Just discard and start afresh with a better description and different name (e.g. Forced To Transition).
Pretty much that.
In it's current state it's such a mess it's not really salvageable and just needs trashed and re-done from the ground up. There's a trope here somewhere but nothing with the current proposal is really workable because there's so many Unfortunate Implications in the tone and wording of it all.
Edited by CryptidProductionsEasier to polish a bad draft, then start a good draft than to deal with drive-by bombings from people that don't like the idea before the draft is in a state to be judged fairly.

Tropers/{{2ndBro}} keeps discarding Be Trans Not Gay
. The current consensus on the Trope Launch Pad discard project thread
is that it's salvageable and not to discard, with X Filo even expressing interest in it.
