hey, im gonna give you the benefit of the doubt here, but a cis artist drawing trans ocs shirtless and pre op is.....a really bad look, generally regarded as a bad move, and can come off really fetishistic.

i understand the concern and know that there’s a… history of several tumblr artists fetishizing trans people. i will think again of portraying him like that, and if i would draw him shirtless he’d be depicted e.g. from the behind where you couldn’t see his chest.

my intention is not to concentrate on the sexuality of my characters, however if people generally think that something is offensive or ‘a bad move’, i don’t want to put out content that is considered insensitive.
