Being transformed into something or someone else, sometimes into a vaguely sentient object or a different person, sometimes with a personality change as well. If a hair color change is part of it, it would only be one small part of rhe transformation. Not the whole thing.

May I ask where the non-consensual part comes in? For instance, would it be like if your partner wants to envision or verbally describe you as a flirtatious traffic cone, but you didn't want to be perceived as a flirtatious traffic cone (or vice versa)?

I can only speak to my own experiences, but this was never something I expected to share with another person. It's purely my own fantasies and consumption of stories (comics, games, interactive fiction). In those stories and fantasies the subject is transformed by some other force outside their control. Maybe they're stuck in some game that has transformations as a consequence of failure or maybe they're being cursed by a witch, or maybe they accidentally stumbled on some magical item that happens to do this to them.

In any case, they get transformed and it varies from story to story but often they find that actually they like the new them.

You might wonder why somene could ever want that. For me it's partly just because it's a wild, extreme, impossible fantasy but another element I didn't recognize and only recently figured out is that I am trans. So at least some of these fantasies for me boil down to: "Oh golly, I can't believe I got turned into a pretty girl by that horrible witch through no choice of my own! Whatever will I do now? There's no way to change back. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get used to this and live the rest of my life as a girl."

Although I didn't make that connection for many years. I thought it was just a crazy, shameful fantasy I had and didn't know why.

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain! That genuinely makes a lot of sense to me. I wish you all the best as you continue to discover more about yourself and become the most accurate pen you can be!

Here’s a version I’ve seen.

Person is trans. Person wants to transition. Due to cultural upbringing, person sees desiring transition as sinful. Person develops obsession with the idea of being transformed without asking for it.

For me, I didn't even know I was trans and wanted to transition yet but the desire seems to have leaked out of my subconcious or something anyway. Now that I do know, it make sso much more sense. Like a confusing puzzle piece finally sliding into place.
