+ TGTF, or TG, is the kink of gender TF. It's done in real life, but also very frequently in art. It's probably one of the most popular types of TF in the online kink art community, and I've noticed in the few times that I've drawn a bit of TGTF (most notably a couple of toon TF commission pieces, which I may or may not put on this site eventually) they usually get a substantially more attention than my other work. People really like this shit.

+ I don't really draw it very often. Not because I don't shame and to be a woman is humiliating. A lot of TG doesn't see womanhood as something empowering, but as something like being turned into a relief station. Turning into a sex object.
+ Don't get me wrong, getting turned into a sex object is hot. I DO enjoy towing the line a bit with exploration of sexism and the kink of it in my work-- I draw a decent amount of 'bimbofication' art. (Another sort of TF in which a subject, usually a woman, gets kind of dumb and sexy.) That kink can also be done in an extremely misogynist way, especially as revenge porn. What I don't like is the way that this stuff when men do it is so... BlackShirtBoy have been really embracing the angle of TG that's embarrassing because you get a silly form, or because it happens by surprise, or TG that's explicitly something that the subject is excited about or interested in. Zi in particular loves to draw artwork and comics where someone who's been TGTF'd just has a lovely time afterwards, hanging around or going out on the town et cetera. (I was not surprised in the LEAST when Zi came out as genderqueer. All power to you pal.
+ So not all TG art is bad, but I probably won't draw too much, and if I do, it'll be to my own tastes. I've drawn a bit of revenge porn about it from a place of spite, which I might repackage as a ludicrously expensive zine as part of an art project, but that shit's more about forcing obnoxious tories and terfs to actually experience being trans... And honestly, it comes from a bit of a place of spite, rather than empowerment.
+
+ Anyway, that's my thoughts on the subject. They 're quite influenced by playing Immortality lately, a game which does some interesting stuff with the male gaze, the way in which women are framed in art, and uses TG themes in a couple places. Also, by a long-running roleplay with my partner, where my character Ella got bimbified as part of a psychedelic dreamscape adventure on her weird brainworms about 'smartness' and having to understand everything.
