*rubs hand slowly over face* this is the exact reason why I avoid talking about trans characters or writing them outside of a commission setting. I have absolutely zero desire to involve myself in any discourse about the matter.
correct me if I’m wrong, but fetishizing in my eyes would be getting off on them solely because they’re trans and/or writing characters getting off on them being trans.
I don’t think I ever even hinted at that being the case in my writing. There’s no (obvious) trans representation so (seemingly) cis characters will naturally have to be changed to at least try and give marginalized people something to identify with/feel comfortable with/whatever.
If I write trans characters they’re (at least I hope so) simply human and they get off with other people regardless of gender; I’m not writing about a person getting off on the other person being trans.
actually, it is pretty ridiculous in and off itself that I have to censor myself when people almost beg me to write trans characters just because I’m too tired to get into discussions with anybody
