Idk. To me it seems more that your understanding of what is a "fetish"/"fetishizing" vs what is a "kink" is different from the norm and that is what is throwing people off. Not that anyone is denying that bottom trans male fic in slash is prevalent.

DA

It is clear you and other anon are reading/seeing different fic. I totally understand where other anon is coming from. There is absolutely a trend with certain spaces/fandoms with trans fic that reads like fetish fic. And you're right that there is definitely a difference between kink and fetishizing, and these types of fics/writers are clearly doing the latter.

But in a general discussion I can see your confusion, because just talking about it isn't very clear. It's a hard thing to pin down and explain, but once you've been in a fandom or an author where this happens it becomes very clear.

AYRT

I don't doubt that it happens in some places. But generalizing the aspects of trans fic one corner fandom to all trans fic is also non-logical... which could also be the reason original anon keeps getting the types of responses they do?

I don't think they did generalize it to all spaces, and I don't think they "keep getting the response," either. They've said multiple times now that this only happened once.

I meant responses like the ones in this thread, not any specific response.

When they wade into a big genre of fic and declare broadly that "99% of the smut fic [is] just fetish fic" with no constraints and get defensive when people are like "that's not true across the board though," it's gonna keep happening, lol.
