Trans Romance & Erotica Collections Collections of trans romance & erotica for all to enjoy!

Despite it all, folks are still out here making horny/romantic trans stories and sharing them on Itchio. Almost all of the collections got an addition or two today! (And I'm actively adding more.) Now is the time to check your favorite list!

Me, 10 years ago: why do I love this show about a hyper capable autistic woman who moonlights as a best selling author and hangs out with a pack of feral neurodivergents and her slutty bisexual best friend?

What a mystery. Oh well. 😂

The eternal struggle

Lawful plotter lol

Bones is my favorite copaganda guilty pleasure

There is a black cat in this photo

Where is my cat?

I write spicy trans romance novels - the first two of which will be published next year! I also write trans fantasy erotica too weird for mainstream publishing

TFW you get an email from an insurance adjuster about a VERY EXPENSIVE needed repair to your home's plumbing that they have been obstructing for four months and you just start fucking screaming.

Insurance adjusters and cops. There every single one in the trash.

Yeah it's like, y'all KNOW I'm married to a guy.

It's so bizarre and what with not being a man myself I just... Yeah I can't understand it

One of the things I can't get a read on now that I'm reliably passing is how much of straight guy bonding is joking about wanting a sexual/romantic relationship with their friends?

I worry gayness is the punchline, because I roughly approximate a man and I'm definitely gay.

But is it smthn else?

It is NOT EASY trying to get everything clean while keeping a whole ass hand dry

Caught myself fully doing the not-see salute in the shower just now because I took off the end of my thumb with a brand new vegetable peeler and was trying not to get the bandaid wet.

I did it because it seemed like a good way to have job stability in a field that doesn't actively traumatize me the way customer service did

Fuck your passion

Fuck your opportunities to "grow my personal brand" and my "portfolio"

Fucking pay me what I'm worth

But now the only marketing jobs that get posted are ghost jobs or this race to the bottom bullshit bc genAI has completely devalued creative labor

I didn't get two degrees and work seven years in marketing to make less than minimum wage because I'm "passionate" about "content"

Reasons I'm no longer looking for marketing jobs part 300: Indeed emailed me a content marketing posting that was $18-30 CAD an hour 20 hours a week in an industry that has lots of fucking money to spare and, like

fuck OFF. I didn't get a marketing degree so I could earn a poverty wage

Correct

I think it's the kid that really throws people for a loop. Like, people can grok the idea of lesbians with kids but gay men??????

Idk, I've never actually asked so that's just my best guess

I mean, the weird thing is none of these interactions have given homophobic vibes? There was certainly no hostility any if the times this happened. People are just genuinely confused and don't know how to parse our family when we're out in public and

We just look like 2 dudes out with our kid???

The figurehead Prime Minister of if the Imperial Senate whose style function is to rubber stamp the Emperor's decrees

Especially since I live in Canada, which is supposedly one of the more queer-friendly countries

And yet... 🙄🙄

We went to a very nice local small town restaurant last weekend, and the server very obviously had no fucking clue of what to make of two men* out with a 13 y.o. who obviously belonged to at least one of them.

I'm SO used to straight people fucking up my gender, but this? This is bananas.

Going with my husband and my 13 y.o. would just be
Server: [just fucking hands my husband the credit machine]

NOW, post-T, the server either assumes 'separate' or looks very confused and/or vaguely alarmed while asking if we're together

And when it's all 3 of us, they just fucking bluescreen

When I started reliably passing, it made it very obvious how most straight people are just fucking baffled by the concept of gay men*? existing?? and? having kids???????

Like, pre-T, going to a restaurant with my husband would be like:
Server: Together? [while handing my husband the credit machine]

A tiny knit genderless doll with beady eyes and a skirt

Continuing to make Little Guys from yarn scraps for my mental health

Just finished: skirt guy

I cannot express to you how urgent it is that we all loudly and constantly support queer media right now. It is my number one goal for this year, to support and promote as many queer artists as possible.

(sigh) the seasonal depression is starting to get real spicy
