        It also implies every trans woman is a sissy and vice versa, which is like, the main issue because of the direct kink connotations

      The term “sissy” in this context is mostly used as a fetish descriptor, generally carrying with it the connotation that men “get turned into” one, in like a forced feminization/hypno type thing. While there are some people who are both trans and identify with the label “sissy”, it’s kind of an offensive term when used to imply that those are the same thing. It kind of feeds into a lot of the false narratives and the “trans contagion” myth because of the baggage that word carries with it.

      I’m uncomfortable with the label being placed upon a potential trans woman by an outside observer because of those reasons.
