For the past few weeks, I've been making an effort to cross-post more, in order to make sure that communities that I'm interested in have some content and attention. I've been primarily focused on keeping up a steady stream of posts to !teen_loli, but a lot of those also fit in on !rapehentai and !incest_hentai, and occasionally !bdsm_hentai_and_art or !bluearchive. I tend to stick to just posting to the two most relevant communities for any given post, though.

I also created and have been posting to !dickgirl_hentai, but I tend to refrain from cross-posting those elsewhere. I get the feeling that maybe people don't want to see those posts, even if their fetishes are otherwise involved?

It feels like I'm creating/following a weird double-standard though. For rape/incest/etc content, I just tag the fetish in the title so that those that don't want to see it can avoid clicking. I don't think of trans women as a fetish though, so it feels weird to warn about them? Additionally, the original creator of !incest_hentai designated it as trans-inclusive (and I've done the same with !teen_loli), so it's extra-weird to avoid cross-posting there, which is what got me thinking about this in the first place. What do?

As an aside, the name of !dickgirl_hentai has also been bothering me. I originally went with that because it's what booru sites typically use to differentiate transgirl futanari from intersex. It feels kind of offensive though? Is there a better name that would still get the point across? Am I overthinking this?

tl;dr - You're overthinking it :)

Regarding the "dickgirl vs trans" thing, the context is drawings of fictional characters so calling them "dickgirls" or "futas" is not the same as having a community of the same name for real people.

The PC Master Race community on another instance had a similar discussion a while ago about a potential name change for obvious reasons. Most people chose to keep the current name because it really doesn't matter that much.
We're all aware that nobody in that community actually believes there is a "master race", much like we're all aware that trans people are people too, and deserve the same respect and rights as everyone else.

This is all also ignoring the very real possibility that the character(s) the artist drew are just... not trans. There are many art pieces and doujins that involve a girl acquiring a dick in one way or another without really wanting one. They never felt that they weren't comfortable in their own body, and some vocalize that they'd prefer to go back to the way they were. This does not seem at all in line with the trans movement, so I think implying that (boobs + penis = trans) is simply not correct.

I still have more to say on the topic, but this should hopefully get the point across.
