gender issues, a word for a trans woman that might be a slur, I’ve lost track 

It’s kind of crazy when I stop to think about it. I don’t feel at all fetishized by the endless torrent of Wingeresque fuckbeasts with giant tits and cocks that show up on Furaffinity. But there is one person who has a dickgirl character with fairly normal sized bits and every time I see a drawing of her I feel uncomfortably objectified.

This may be in part because this character has an identical twin cisfemme sister, and a lot of the early art of her was all OOH YOU JUST DONT KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS, YOU MIGHT GET DICK, HORROR jokes. The cisfemme twin doesn’t get drawn much any more but that still lingers.

@anthracite There’s a distinction between “we share this sexual fantasy” and “I have a fetish that specifically refers to your physical body type“; one of them hints at a greater willingness to objectify you in particular.

@kistaro @anthracite Mhmm. As much as the Gideonesque ladies with gigantic tits and dicks may seem more fetishizing on the surface, they're typically also distant enough from reality that even the people into them for reasons that are decidedly *not* self-expression aren't nearly as likely to start creeping on actual transfemme folks than people who fetishize that *directly*.
