I’ve noticed recently that creators are keen to make their audios more trans-inclusive, but aren’t sure how. Here at GWASapphic, we’ve written this guide to help you! You might also find this guide by u/kittytoy85 helpful.

Firstly, when we talk about making an audio inclusive for trans listeners, what do we mean? Why might trans people want specific content? A “trans 101” is outside of the scope of this article, but there are plenty of good ones out there, so go ahead and give one a read – especially if you haven’t before, or you find yourself unfamiliar with some of the words or concepts in this guide. Be aware that terminology does change over time. You might also find it helpful to read a guide on “how to have sex with trans people”. Again, there are plenty of these.

If you read such a guide, you’ll notice that “all trans people are different, so ask your partner what works for them” is the top piece of advice in most cases, and that isn’t going to work for us – we don’t have one specific listener in mind. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can do.

What makes an audio trans-inclusive? As you’ve probably deduced, the main factors are that

1. Trans people may have different bodies to cis people of the same gender (or cis people of the same gender may not exist)
2. Aspects of their bodies or gender, actions, words or scenarios might be upsetting, triggering or dysphoric

You can see how these issues might come up in audios.

So fundamentally, an audio is inclusive to trans listeners if

1. They enjoy it
2. They can picture themself in the listener’s position

Note that you can have one of these without the other – a trans listener might enjoy listening to an audio where the listener is referred to in ways that don’t apply to them, and conversely a performer might refer to a trans listener in a way which is plausible but upsetting.

Given the fact that all trans people are different, fulfilling these criteria across the board is more or less impossible (as is making a universally appealing audio in general of course). That said, there are a few things we can do to

1. Make your audio more appealing and applicable for trans listeners
2. Tag your audio so prospective listeners can better determine whether they would enjoy it

Let’s have a look at the ways which we gender the listener in audios

1. Directly referring to it, e.g. “good girl”, “when I saw you, It thought – he’s the one”
2. Talking about their clothes or features, e.g. “cute skirt”, “your beard is so sexy”
3. Finding ourselves in a strongly gendered scenario, e.g. on the same sports team
4. Talking about sex acts, or conditions, e.g. “I’m going to suck you off”, “you’re so wet”
5. Talking about genitals, e.g. “I love rubbing your clit”

All of these can be intentional or unintentional, and either essential or non-essential to the scenario you’re writing. Let’s consider the possible ways your scenario could be gendered.

1. The listener’s gender and body are entirely irrelevant (4A)
2. The listener has a specific gender, but their body is irrelevant (4M, 4F)
3. The listener’s gender is irrelevant, but they have specific parts (less common but possible)
4. The listener’s gender and parts are both relevant (4M, 4F)

Let’s be clear, any of these scenarios can be hot and valid! It’s your fantasy. But as you can see, the tags don’t quite tell us which scenario we’re in, and we might inadvertently end up writing a more gendered category than we intended. Alternatively we might write a more gendered scenario, but decide we want to broaden it out. For example a category 4 scenario might easily be converted to a category 2 one.

If you have a category 4 script you want to broaden the appeal of, you have two options

1. Write in alternative lines for different gender-genital combinations (you can then ‘delete as appropriate’ in editing – no need to re-record the whole thing). For example “May I touch your pussy?” could become “May I touch your girlcock?”
2. Rewrite it as category 2. For example “May I touch your pussy?” could become “May I touch you?”

I don’t have much more to say about the latter, your imagination is the limit. But what about those trans-specific category 4 scripts? How do we approach those?

Firstly, like any script I’d encourage you to picture the scenario. Feel it, enjoy it, feel sexy about it. Write it because you want to.

Now, you’re picturing some nice genitals, but how do you describe them?

Trans people have a huge variety of words for this purpose. A trans person might describe their junk using the same words which are commonly used for cis people’s genitals (which might match their gender or might not – e.g. a trans woman might use ‘dick’ or ‘clit’), trans-specific terms like ‘girlcock’, or neutral terms like ‘front hole’. Or they might not be comfortable with their genitals being mentioned at all.

Sadly, the variety of vocab exists for a reason – what may be comfortable or hot to one person might be dysphoric or triggering for another. So the most helpful thing you can do is to clearly tag what you’ll be using (the fewer terms you use, the easier this will be, and the fewer people you’re likely to exclude). Some top tips if you’re writing for women: “shaft”, “sperm”, “balls” are likely to have few fans, and you can usually say “excited” or similar instead of “hard”. Also remember that more or less anyone can get wet.

You can also use these terms as a clearer and nicer way to label your audios if you’re providing alternates, for example “with pussy” and “with girlcock” rather than “4F” and “4TF” (though do still use the tags in the post title so it can be found). For example:

[F4F][F4TF] A sexy scenario with my girl [strap-on][girlcock]

I want to ride you so badly
 - Link w/ pussy
 - Link w/ girlcock

This approach also works well for non-binary listeners. There are as many non-binary genders as there are non-binary people, so you’ll have an interesting time pleasing all of us without it being 4A, but if you’re specific about what you’ve made, you can trust us to decide whether to listen.

Hope this helps, looking forward to listening!
