Well, fantastical captions do have their place as well, but it still needs to be grounded in some reality!
The picture just drew something out of me, and it was a bugaboo I've had for a long time now. I have read thousands of TG stories, captions, and other various forms of content, and there is nothing worse than writers who don't know the subject matter. I try not to be too guilty of it, but I'm sure I do it occasionally too, especially when leaning on "magical" means of transformation, but .. some things cannot just be taken care of right away.
Walking in heels in one of them. Hell, I know a bunch of women that still cannot walk in heels .. low heels. Never mind the slutty stuff you see in porn, or even fashionable photography. There is lots of practice involved and a good sense of balance. I've had lesbians at my former work compliment me on how well I walked in my Rocky Horror heels, and that she'd never be able to do it like I do. My forever person had feet issues and wouldn't use any sort of heel, as it would definitely hurt. One of my best friends was a ballerina and she thinks heels are stupid in general, and will wear them occasionally for the sake of artifice and to look slimmer, but will definitely complain about it.
You just don't slide a pair on and get good at getting around in them. Case closed!
Then of course is the whole thing about boob size and just what the numbers and letters mean when it comes to sizing a bra. There is also the issue of that thing Newton "discovered" called GRAVITY. Breasts are made out of flesh and fat, or at least things that resemble that if the boobies aren't real. They aren't filled with helium or air. AND you don't often see a larger number for a bust with a tiny number for the waist, as most women have actual proportions. Here is another hint .. most women do NOT like their breasts. Most either think they are too big, or two small, or too saggy, or too pointy or their nipples are weird, etc ..
Hmmmm, seem to have gotten off on a rant. Hopefully you can tell me some things that you see in TG fiction or captions that irks you, and can put you off from continuing to read.
I'll start with one right here .. If your voice went up a few octaves, you would probably be talking so that only dogs or perhaps dolphins might understand you. Listen to Mariah Carey sing and then listen to her talk. She has a huge range of notes, but you don't TALK in an upper range, but where it's comfortable. Trained voices can usually sing in a range of 2 octaves. It's other things like breath control, timbre, vibrato, vocal fry and intonation that can make someone sound younger and more female. For instance, an upspeak or uptalk is the way that younger girls will often sound like, where at the end of a sentence, the voice goes up in pitch, and it often sounds like a question, even if they are making a statement.
So anyway, that is harder to do in a caption, so perhaps we fall into the trap of, "and her voice raised up 2 octaves" instead. PLEASE let me know of others, and do talk about the caption as well.
Extra question, what is the best example of "My Fair Lady" or "Pygmalion" that you have seen or read involving someone making a guy into a girl? Figured I might want to check some of them out!
