So, here's the thing: trans people def don't have monolithic reactions to this stuff. Obviously, right? Like, for some people it's super uncomfortable. And for some people it's actually really affirming, because being sexually objectified like that (or, having anatomy similar to yours albeit of a fantasy porn distorted flavor, so objectified) means that you are sexually desirable to some people and not, say, forever a mismatched grotesque freak. Which is a feeling some people struggle with!

But you don't just wanna, like, guess, when you could hurt them and/or your friendship. Obviously.

So the first thing you should ask yourself is, why do you want to be able to talk to them about it? Because you want them to exonerate you from committing Bad Kinks? Don't make them do that kind of intimate emotional labor for you. Accept that you like what you like and you're not hurting anyone, and keep your private kinks private. Or are they they kind of friends you talk about other sexy/kinky stuff with on the regular, and you feel like you're lying to them, or don't like holding back? Well, then maybe say you came across some and ask how they feel about it. If it's not out of left field for you guys to discuss sexual things, you can get a bead on their reactions without jumping straight to 'I think this is hot, and it doesn't mean I don't still see you as a person, and it does mean I'm interested in your reactions bc you've got a unique perspective here, and you know me well enough to assume I'm acting in good faith even if I bumbled something here.'

It depends on what kinds of friends you are and what kinds of people and your comfort levels. If you wouldn't talk to them about other kinks, don't talk about this one with either. But if you would, you know, maybe you'd learn things from starting a discussion.

(But probably publicly on tumblr would be a real bad place to have that discussion. Tumblr is super bad at nuance and also at keeping audiences restricted to people who understand each other's context and comfort levels etc.)
