Listen, sometimes a ship is less about wanting them to kiss or have sex or whatever, and more about needing them to be so endlessly intertwined and connected to the point where they might as well be one creature.
Dear Anon, op was more respectful of their identities than you, know your place.
Also on changing characters' sexualities and gender for headcanon purposes, next you're gonna say im being heterophobic for shipping a straight character in a gay pairing.
Its the same logic, and sounds just as stupid.
Sometimes you just want to see your favourite thing in a different font, it doesn't take away from the original, it adds more things to love. Let characters be complex. Let people love characters in their own way.
How can you be a "transmasc Vi/Cait truther" (or whatever it is) and at the same time say that you love lesbian characters? Like you change the gender of canon lesbians to make yourself feel good about being trans, if you do that then I assume that you do not in fact love lesbian characters because you are unable to respect their identities without making them men (or attaching masculine labels onto them).
i absolutely love lesbian characters and i don’t usually attach masculine labels to caitvi. if you look at my posts, I’m usually referring to both of them with she/her pronouns, my fic about them used only she/her pronouns for both of them, etc.
however, butch lesbians exist. transmasc lesbians exist. i’m not doing this to make myself feel better about being trans (i’m genderfluid so idk), I’m doing it because it’s fun and because i can. i respect lesbians a lot. sounds to me like you’re the one who struggles to respect lesbians who don’t fit into your personal definition of what a lesbian has to be.
vi using she/her and he/him pronouns, caitlyn using he/him and they/them pronouns, that doesn’t make caitvi not a lesbian relationship. whatever your “lesbian purity” thing is that you’re trying to do here is kind of silly. at the end of the day, the labels we use are made up and they are as restrictive as we allow them to be. i don’t believe that gender and sexuality labels have to be restrictive, so i make caitvi he/him lesbians.
i hope you can enjoy your versions of characters and learn to let other people enjoy theirs.
The absolute worst type of accounts are the ones based around hating on fan creators. You make fandom worse if you're mocking people trying to keep fandoms alive.

I got all of my fav tags in what seems to be an epic Greek mythology themed time travel smut fic.
