    I feel like this is really good, but I am having a hard time reading. It deconstructs force-fem stories, and for someone like me, who has never read a foecefem story on my life, it’s really interesting. It’s very not horny, which I appreciate. Gotta spend more time on it.

    Basically a trans girl finds out about an organisation that forcefems mysoginistic men, and mistakes it for an organisation helping trans girls like her. And inducts herself into it to get trans healthcare.

      No fuckin way there it is

      I would have expected it to be horny frankly, sort of surprised. I also managed to miss any forcefemme shit growing up so these things are basically spectacle to me.

        It’s really well written, I often go through the “transgender” tag on scribblehub, and there is certainly mountains of trash (as usual, a recent one was so kind as to describe WW3 being caused by north kora bombing Canada in the first page, so I could drop immediately it for stupid politics), but sometimes there are nuggets of gold.

            Oh, maybe I’ll actually buy it. I peaked at some of the later chapters(a bit of a sin of mine) and really liked where it seems to be going.

            Sifting through trash is kind of a hobby of mine. It’s fun, and you really get a sense for genre, and with time it gets easier and easier to recognize if something is going nowhere.

              Garbage sorter u/DerEwigeAtheist rat-salute-2 Tbh I have low garbage tolerance, I’m often looking for things that don’t suck and finding trash anyway. Respect.

                I learned english by reading, among other, better things, machine translated light novels(some where actually good, but only the ones translated by people with taste and some talent). So I now am hardened to almost anything. Having low english proficency helped.

                I hate how much of what is written under the transgender stuff in scribblehub likes the US-Military. I guess it comes with an US-domited userbase. I think dorley is such a breath of fresh air, cause it plays in the UK, and not in the US, like so much else.

      Dorley is unironically my favourite book/series and I feel like, while it’s certainly in part a deconstruction of force-fem, it also uses the setting to explore themes of gender identity, trauma, healing, community, etc. and I personally found it actually really relatable. It also has a lot of good class politics
