Does anybody else get incredibly uncomfortable when transgender men are drawn with breasts?

I'm really sorry if this was triggering, that was not my intention. I wanted to encourage you to examine why a drawing may make you feel this way .

The internalized transphobia I was referring to was you looking at a body and gendering it....This drawing looks like a "cis female".

Except...what does a cis female look like?

Why? Is it becayse they are curvy, have little body hair, and have breasts? Trans men can look like that too! That does not make their bodies female or cisgender.

Without knowing what specific drawings you're referring to, its really hard for me to pinpoint whether they could be actually creepy and fetishized or someone just portraying an experience.

So I won't be commenting on the art itself. I'm aware that drawings of trans men can be creepy and fetishized, I've seen it a lot myself. I've also seen art of trans dudes with breasts just vibing and it didn't give off those vibes at all.
