I think it's worth you thinking about what fetishizing is. It's not just finding something sexy. It's reducing it to an object that's only purpose is to be sexy. And that most often happens with non-male and/or non-white and/or non-cis bodies because colonialism and the patriarchy has traditionally othered those bodies.

Obviously there is some blurring of lines, but I am hard pressed to see how you as a transman are fetishizing bodies like yours by finding them sexy in erotica. I.e., just because bodies like yours have traditionally been fetishized does not mean any sexualisation of those bodies must necessarily mean objectification of those bodies. And even if there is an element of objectification to the stories you enjoy, the other thing to remember is that kink is not inherently bad - like a feminist can enjoy femsub in her sexual life without that being 'bad', you can like what you like without being 'bad'.

Re: boycotting HP, just as your friend has the right to decide to boycott any JKR related work, you have to right to decide how you want to continue interacting with her work in the future. And frankly, joyously filling the fandom with trans Remus werewolf sex seems like an excellent way both enjoy HP and stick it to JKR. As others have said, post it anonymously if you need to!
