How do you see yourself? (Mild tw for mentions of SA/rape)
So I know that the general kink in this sub is obviously the TNWO, the idea of cis women as lesser and trans women as our superiors.
But I'm curious about how you all see yourselves beyond that when it comes to sex and roleplaying and kink? By that I mean, are you a puppygirl/catgirl/ponygirl etc? A goddess, a mistress, a queen? Something completely different? Is there a reason why, or does it just feel right?
For me, I struggled for a long time with how I tend to identify myself when it comes to sex. I used to be a full service sex worker, and also worked as a dominatrix for a while. I've always had a REALLY high sex drive too, even since my young teens.
I have unfortunately been assaulted multiple times by cis men, and this lead to a lot of confused feelings about my sexuality. I felt a lot of guilt about being a sexual person and feeling arousal, I started to value myself as being "only good for sex". I then started to feel a connection with nymphs (the mythological creatures, not the bugs lol) and also dolls (obviously not in the trans sense as I'm cis, but more in the sense of feeling like a sex doll or courtroom doll after being assaulted).
Nymphs because they've always been viewed as sexual, manipulative, frivolous. Their identities are viewed through the male gaze that disregards any true depth, which is how I feel when men look at me and make assumptions about me based on how I dress, how I look, how I act etc.
Dolls because, like I said, feeling like nothing but a sex doll, or seeing myself as a doll used by children in court to point out where they've been hurt.
ANYWAY, this is such a long post and I know it's a bit off topic so mods please tell me if this is inappropriate, but I personally just really enjoy this sub and the people here and I'm super interested in getting to know how all of you see yourselves as well??
