The view of the people is the view of dog (dickens) wrote in lgbtq,
I totally agree with the fetishization of gay men especially in original and pb settings. While I've come across some examples that are done well they are few and fare between. I'm hoping that as I and others cap more trans actors and actresses as well as non-binary ones that might hopefuly change (I know I would never play a trans char with a non-trans actor/actress).
Key word there respectfully & with research which many people don't do. Being able to write it has helped me too so I understand what you're coming from.
