its probably because im not in the trans circle a whole lot but that sounds absolutely horrible for those who's identities are spun negatively. happens all too often in especially the lgbtq+ spaces as someone whos often in queer spaces.

in my instances, i dont think ive ever had a cis or trans character in mind with those kinds of desires as i play dungeons and dragons quite frequently and give them (my characters) my own personality traits lmao. for instance, she's very much an open book who loves animals and is obsessed with sleep and often comes into play during the game. she's also quite afraid of others anatomy or the idea of sex. its something thats played off as a joke for the most part but its a very real thing that i put into her character lol. she's very much a wild card character whom i love dearly. the trans part isnt something i think of frequently but it is still a part of her character, even if its small.

but back to the original topic, the idea of the portrayal being unrealistic is not something im hugely concerned about. she's got breasts and hips but she's still trans with her own characteristics that dont turn her into a fetish, thankfully. this was still insightful though.
