waow
My dumb ass sitting on trans tumblr, staring at the avalanche of horny posts and wondering where the line is for things qualifying as fetishistic.....
spoiler
I don't know if there is a particular line that I can point to really. It's always dependent on the context. Like, is it a cis person saying it? That's more likely to be objectifying. But trans people can still objectify their own or other trans bodies sometimes.
The way I tend to treat it though is the same way I tend to with how women are objectified. So hornyposting isn't always fetishistic, but it often is since a lot of it reduces people down to just their parts. And imo gock is pretty commonly used in that way.

Is there trouble with this one? I figured consensually objectifying yourself if you wanna is cool and good? But for the other ones I see ur point. I really hope cis people are not learning this word...
This is good knowledge thenk u

Once again depends on the context. There's ways you can objectify yourself that are harmful towards others or unhealthy and ways you can do it which aren't those things and are cool and good. Like, bodily shame is in part a form of self objectification in some circumstances, like after internalising misogyny for instance, you begin to treat your body like it's just something to be appraised or exchanged and care more about its value than you yourself and your needs. Essentially self-objectification is the internalisation of objectification and it can exhibit all the issues of objectification, including accidental promotion of bog standard objectification when it is externalised. But there can be cases of utilising one's body for empowerment purposes which are cool and good, and there can be cases of kinks that revolve around self-objectification which can be cool if done safely.
Also chasers have been using this word forever idk what to tell you.

Huh, I guess so now I think about it...

This concept really hit hard for me, for a lot of reasons. I need to think about all the ways I do stuff like this and learn how to stop. I have been doing a lot of things for approval for a long time. Thank you.
And yea the definitely do.
