Hello! Firstly, omegaverse is NOT banned in the fest. You are still welcome to prompt/write about the omegaverse trope!

Secondly, I am not trans myself, so I don’t want to speak above the trans community with regards to whether that would be transphobic. And of course, I welcome all kindly-worded opinions about this subject. From what I have seen personally, I understand that a lot of people have different views about cis mpreg vs. trans or intersex pregnancy in fics, and I know that cis mpreg can be triggering to some. I also know that opinions do differ, and that some people may view cis mpreg as transphobic, while others may not. This rule was in place last season as well, and wasn’t ever brought up as an issue, which is part of the reason why it’s still present in this round. Other fests also have similar rules in place.

That being said, I have also seen people who share the same view as you. I understand that cis mpreg is one of those topics where there are lots of people on either side, so I’m definitely open to seeing more opinions. Ultimately, the goal is to create a comfortable fest environment.
