>I’d also assume, as with Omega fics, there’s some element of working out their gender demons by fetishising the stereotypes and hateful ideas that are imposed on themselves, while safely projecting them onto a male character who is allowed to get angry about it or give in to it while still being a complete person that the narrative is allowed to forgive, relate to, and respect.

I feel like this would explain some of the fics I've seen for sure.

Some of it seems to be validation by proxy too. I notice there's been (lately) a preponderance of validation fics because to be fair, why else would you make a character a TIM and be explicit about it? If it's not in the background and it's part of the plot, it's almost always a box to be checked...

I can't remember if slash (m or f slash) fics in the past used to have the coming out / homophobia box to go through too. I don't remember that being prevalent at all.
