So my character is a Monk, which of course can use simple and martial weapons. But according to the Tasha's section on Monks, specifically the Dedicated Weapon, it allows my character to use a non-monk weapon as a monk weapon. But then it has to be something already proficient in? And it must be simple or martial? And it can't be heavy or special? Soooooo...then all Monk weapons already then? I am not understanding how this works.
Fine, I'll go into the Beyond app, surely it'll show me something there. Nope, not seeing it. (Oh, and yes I have purchased the Tasha digital already, Xanathgar...mumblemumble whatever that it as well.)
Is there just an expanded discussion that can describe what this means? Maybe a side-by-side weapons list that says "this is for Monk and not Monk, oh but with the Tasha rules now these as well."

Thank you.
Are you playing 2014 or 2024 rules. Neither have full proficiency with martial weapons, in 2014 it’s just simple weapons and short swords and in 2024 it’s simple weapons and martial weapons that have the light property. The Tasha’s optional rule (which only applies to 2014 which is why I asked) expands that to any martial weapon without the heavy property so that’s a whole load of martial weapons like longswords and longbows that you couldn’t use normally
The Tasha's feature is for 2014 Monk rules, and it allows you to make use of proficiencies you get from a source other than your class. One good example is the Legacy Githyanki gaining Gith Weapon Training which grants them proficiency in longswords. Using the Tasha's Dedicated Weapon rule, you could declare Longsword to be one of your dedicated Monk Weapons, thus letting you use your Monk features with it. Similarly, Dwarven Weapon training could allow a monk to do Munk Stuff with a warhammer. It also helps enable better multiclassing for monk, if you multiclass with monk.

Please do not contact or message me.
2014 rules actually, sorry about not mentioning it.
It's good for Dwarven monks with Warhammer and Battleaxe profs. Wield in two hands and it's a d10 per pop.
With the Tashas extra monk features you might get a bonus attack with the weapon unless you want to kick them instead.
Elves would get longswords.
