My personal thoughts on this type of trope is that it is a little difficult to tackle where trans people are put in this trope, but I am very glad the post that started this thread included trans people. Then again, I don’t write, I just read, so I could be wrong about how hard it is to implement trans people in this trope.

In the past I have railed against the “all men and only men shrink” scenario because I (perhaps uncharitably) suspected insecure straight shrunken men of adding an unnecessary and illogical constraint just to avoid any possibility of encountering a giant cock. I become even more uncharitable when all the women instantly adapt to the new world order and have identically dehumanizing attitudes toward all shrunken men. It’s the lazy writing in service of a too-transparent thirst that offends me.

I have since become less strident on this issue and allowed that there can be multiple reasons for scenarios like this and that different writers can put their own unique spin on it. I still insist on there being some explanation for this phenomenon other than “it fuels my fetish.”

The trans issue is delicate. I recall @Taedis saying that they wanted to attempt an “all men shrink including transmen” story. I don’t think I’m equal to writing a story in this vein, and if I did I would probably be obnoxious enough to have some trans people grouped with their identified gender and some grouped with their birth-assigned gender.

@technomage It’s the dewdrop that sells it.

@i-am-insane So a giant male version of Elmyra from Tiny Toon Adventures?

@tiny-ivy Shredder masked before it was cool.

@wildxpixie “Look at her. The glazed-over eyes, the unhurried gait, those impractical clothes. Yep, she’s been domesticated.”

@mrgoblinging7 Smart to wear gloves. Wouldn’t want to leave any fingerprints.

I wish I could be a switch. They have powers beyond our understanding.

I’ve said this before, but when it came time for me to express how I would go about molesting shrunken women nothing was better preparation than years of dreaming about being molested by giant women.

@smolchlo I have a roomba you can ride.

EDIT: In my pile of legal pads there’s the beginning of an outline for an homage to @Nyx: a 200-foot-tall viciously wrathful sorcerer.

@smolchlo Need a lustbunny to catch dustbunnies.

@blehb You’ve put your finger on why I chose isolation for Gorj. Attracting the attention of thousands and threatening property and lives is an entirely different vibe, one that takes me effort to get into.

@mrgoblinging7 What’s your fruit-cup size?

@littlest-lily I just started using a weighted blanket a couple of months ago. I’ll most likely stop using it when it gets warmer, but for now it has really helped me get to sleep quicker.

@tiny-ivy I can detect 'em at any size.
