ok but i thought "cisbent" was fandom trying to be Thoughtful about Genderbend as a term and choosing to say "well, in THIS setting, their assigned gender at birth is different, sure, but they're still cis about it!" in which case. why the clarification about how "even if their gender identity is not altered from canon"
like, ignoring the fact that apparently a trans person can just delete your entry for ANY reason if you're cis, in order to do so you have to either disclose that you're cis or be like "wait i'm not cis tho?" if you're NOT cis, and then you get to play the FUN GAME of ARE THEY LYING TO AVOID GETTING STRUCK DOWN??
i am pretty sure what they mean by “cisbend” is “opposite genital set from canon which is HILARIOUS because unless it’s straight up porn canon probably doesn’t actually have supportable data on that
maybe that’s an uncharitable interpretation of what they mean by “cisbend” but tbh it’s the level of tonedeaf performative wokeness i’m inclined to expect from this sort of thing
I cannot confirm if this is an accurate assessment of their rules because no one has actually put the event on my twitter timeline and I don't hate myself enough to go look for it. but something sure happened here.
"“what are the gender identity questions for?” well certainly, if a cis person uploads a cisbend work and a trans person belonging to the event participants finds it harmful for their identity or offensive to the community, we will not accept said submission + warn the cis person."
"the comfort of trans participants is priority in the event. we will keep the identity of the person that reclaims hidden but we ask of you to not do so anonymously since outsiders and even cis people could target someone for reasons other than offense etc."
"that’s why i ask of you to claim these things using DMs. but also there’s few cis people who are genuinely interested so it’s whatever
in case it’s a trans person making others uncomfortable we will talk with them and correct their behaviour. if they continue their submissions + will not be accepted"
"all of this is experimental and i am a single mod for now ^^” i am ready to cancel the activity even mid-activity if people refuse to act according to the rules and boundaries but i hope this situation doesn’t come up"
cus women or trans men... GOD IF IT’S JUST “EVERYBODY GOT A VAG” THEN WHY NOT JUST RUN WITH THAT CALL IT A PUSSY PARTY CALL IT CLAMBAKE WEEK CALL IT A TACO BUFFET WHY “CISBENT”
in case it’s a trans person making others uncomfortable we will talk with them and correct their behaviour. if they continue their submissions + will not be accepted"

the boundaries are actually that you can submit content of characters either as cis women or trans men
