    They’re convinced that it’s turning people trans lmao

    CW: Transphobia

    They notice that many transwomen express interest in it at some point during their journeys and rather than come to the obvious conclusion of “they liked it because it gave them a relatively safe outlet to explore feelings they were still coming to terms with” they instead decided “the sissy hypno made them trans”

      You’d think they’d love it, because it offers them a culturally plausible excuse to explore their secret tastes. “It wasn’t my fault, the hypnotist went off script, I was just there for a weight-loss programme!”

      Of course, everyone knows that the dominance/kink community is extremely focused on consent and boundaries, so that excuse is pretty damn flimsy.

      Also, if it worked that well, you’d think there would be a whole business model for the inverse model: masculinizing hypnosis for people who aren’t confident in their identity, or as a product for conversion-therapy grift.

        masculinizing hypnosis for people who aren’t confident in their identity, or as a product for conversion-therapy grift.

        That’s watching male motivational videos on YouTube actually. Pretty much exactly what you described.
