The curious nature of Cboys.

So, I don't have a finger necessarily on the vein of the Trans part of the community so I've been really curious. How do y'all feel about Cboys? On one hand it can be seen as rather harmless fun, just a appreciation for a character who presents and identifies as male but genetically has a cooch cause you find that particular part of the body sexually arousing. I get that, but at that point why not make your character a Transmale? Adds even more flavor to your concept, and since it's a fictional setting you don't even have to satirize the real world plights Trans people go through. Of course the problem with this is the problematic nature of sexualizing the Trans experience in general.

Which brings about the main query I have with Cboys, it just seems a little derogatory towards Transmales. I say this as someone who is Enby tho I lean towards Cismale. Gender is a fucking weird, nebulous void, and not everyone has the same feelings towards it as others. My biggest GRIPE I have with people who use Cboys in their media on here. If your going to have to boys tease Cboys for not having the "Right" parts, this makes sense for child characters ESPECIALLY boys cause little boys are blunt and cruel, but maybe have a disclaimer on your picture that you don't share those feelings towards actual Transpeople, cause the art you pay for and reflect with a character WHO IS A REFLECTION OF YOURSELF can lead to assumptions.Iunno if you have your 8-11 YO character who is your Sona who is a reflection of YOURSELF bullying the poor Cboy in a locker for not having the wrong parts, whose to say you don't feel that way towards real Transmen who can't afford surgery.
