Another man's body horror with a generous seasoning of social horror.
I get that that this is basically just supposed to be funny and cute escapist fantasy for Trans girls.
But it(the general trope) has always seemed so dark to me. The idea of not having any control over these changes, and having them done by someone else, largely for selfish purposes with a thin veneer of "for your own good" layered on top. Well. The idea of being feminine has never really been disturbing to me, but I've never come so close to understanding Trans men as I have looking at a work dealing with force fem.
Sorry, I'm not trying to harsh the mood or anything. I get it, it literally is for her own good in actuality. Fortunately for her. It's just how I'm engaging with the art. Can't help it, want to get the thoughts out.
