i swear to god, if your first thought when seeing a trans guy with boobs is to confront the trans male artist (with boobs) because you are worried about it being "fetish work" i need your worldview on gender to expand REAL quick

Comment reply to me on my art that features my trans male character without top surgery where the fact that he happens to have boobs is not the point whatsoever. Comment from person says nothing wrong with art of men being sexy. I interpreted the lines as accentuating his breasts, which I personally found odd to point out as a trans man who hates to see us underrepresented or sometimes fetishized in media, hence why! said on purpose. If that wasn't the intention then no harm done. All trans men are different, which is why I was just curious and asking a question. I reply to this I'm going to say this as nicely as I can: you should look inward if your first assumption upon viewing art of a trans man (who does happen to have boobs) is that you feel the *need* to confront me because you worry my art is possibly fetish work. Not every trans experience is the same and being on edge about depictions of trans men in art being "fetishy" is doing harm to not only the trans artists making these work, but also the trans people who *do* look this way, who do find their own bodies attractive, who do want to feel desirable and proud of who they are. If you find trans men are underrepresented, after asking me why I draw my own character the way I do "on purpose", maybe you don't grasp that a lot of trans artists are scared to share our work when people will either hurl transphobic remarks at us... or other queer people are judgmental and claiming inadvertently our own bodies are fetish work because of the art we make. Next time you see art that prompts you to think the same way, maybe realize that trans art is also not one singularity, just like the trans people making said art. Some trans guys have boobs, like I do, and it's not the end of the world that art exists out there that *does* point out a trans man can have them. Even though, this art, is very much not doing that.
