every year, my tastes are not your tastes (and that is ok)
oh dear.
Skimming Yuletide letters and the "I want my men to be MEN! MANLY MEN! Not teenage girls!" makes me want to go, "I want my teenage girls to be GIRLS! Teenage girls! Not manly men." But I would be 100% okay with trans fic for my teenage girls, so it would be a lie. (Well, sort of. I don't think Tina Hakim Baba will ever be a ~manly man~, which doesn't mean Tina will never be a man. Maybe I will say it: TEENAGE GIRLS! I want my teenage girls to be girly girls. Even if they are boys.)
(Of course, I am also okay with my men acting like teenage girls, see also Joss Whedon's pink backpack.)

As I said to her, no one would dream of saying 'no gay cooties' or 'no non-white cooties' or 'no disabled cooties' or 'no trans cooties' (or I would damned well hope not), but it is still acceptable in huge swathes of fandom to be blatantly misogynistic.
