as a trans person (im addressing previous), not everyone who hasnt had surgery is preop. trans people exist who dont want surgery. its completely fine for cis people to depict trans people in real trans bodies. theres absolutely a line but drawing a trans person with breasts isnt fetishistic. its just a trans person existing

that’s very true. the reason i thought about including my trans character (partially) nude was for symbolic purposes and to showcase some cultural code, but i’m also sure that that could be done without explicitly showing it (as in, risking slipping too close to sexualization as a cis person).

thank you for your message!
