Like, identity and body are distinct, yeah? So someone can be have one identity, but then also want magic or science magic to, like, (temporarily) reconfigure things for a night out or yeah for sex, and then switch back. It's not *possible*, but they could *WANT* it, but

But what do you CALL that, if it's more envy and fantasy and kink than like, fundamental everyday core identity?

I don't think there's a name for it, but it's pretty normal to want? That's the crux of an entire genre of kink fiction/art/etc

Like if you actually look at the preferences of the kind of people who frequent Fictionmania et al you kind of see them naturally divide into like three different factions the first is predominantly cis guys who like stories about nonpermanent, reversible transformations

this audience tends to be the most hostile to non-fantastical, genuinely transgender themes in their erotica, any mention of reimagining one's identity and fully adopting a new lifestyle tends to kill their boner pretty quick These people want a vacation, not an immigration

The second faction tends to be trans-identified people or eggs who want the exact opposite, they want stories about protagonists transforming into something else and coming to a realization one way or another that this is their true self They don't often get along neatly

The third faction is just people who want bimbofication basically, it's an identity death-based objectification kink, less about wanting to evolve as to cease to exist entirely as anything with continuity It tends to be more of a mixed group but probably cis-dude dominant

Knowing someone super into "bimbofication as identity death and freedom from troubles", every day the world gets worse I think I understand that fandom a little bit more. *taps temple* can't have your soul break or be overwhelmed when your mind is too broken to care.

Yeah bimbofication is interesting because the kind of people who want it inflicted on them and the kind of people who want to inflict it on people are both broken and horny but in alarmingly different ways

Vapor Weyve Retweeted Cruel Angel's Hypothesis
ppl probably overstate the extent to which investment in these communities, or even a general sense of body dysmorphia-esque feelings, actually makes you an egg We're all limited by our bodies in some way we don't want to think about in a romantic spherehttps://twitter.com/TheFuggle/status/1265393413991653378 …
Vapor Weyve added,
Cruel Angel's Hypothesis @IgneousSigilReplying to @NymphomachyYeah but then isn't a lot of it also ... uh ... generally, like, "here's the first sign you're an egg"? / a passing curiosity or toy? And not, like, actual frustration/longing and going "why can't I switch back and forth? the limits of humanity suck"1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
If you get deep into transformation kink, like, it doesn't *stop* with genderbending, if anything genderbending is the "vanilla" form of it

Oh yeah people getting transformed into body parts, sex toys, clothing, household objects I don't have a very strong grasp on any of the non-anthropomorphic/organic stuff, it's extremely difficult for me to wrap my head around the appeal
