if the joke is that it's a guy who is responsible to breastfeed, i don't see the point of him being able to switch to a female body...

As absolutely daft as the premise is, if handled right, it could be a good story. Probably more education on the trials and tribulations of early motherhood and the services available, in Japan at least, than the readers would get otherwise.

Ah, so now they're combining the TG fetish with the breastfeeding fetish. This author's a real trendsetter.

I don't even... Man, Japan continues to astound me when it comes to creating premises for their work, especially ones like these.

I don't think this really qualifies as transgender...

I understand this is Japan and all but there are lines and standards to everything. How do people come up with premises like this? Even if I focused real hard on writing a story I couldn't come up with something like this.

It isn't? What qualifies as it then? "TG" is the term used on DeviantArt and Fictionmania to refer to any instance of a character changing gender, so that's how I use it. Is this not transgender because the protagonist can switch back voluntarily at any time?

In J-fetish, "TG" refers more to the fantasy of Ranma Saotome than real-life Kylie Jenner, ie. any solo immediately physical gender-dysfunction NOT caused by direct body-swap with another partner after falling down a flight of stairs.
And this would.....definitely qualify as J-fetish. In rather specifically lingered-upon detail.

As a fanfiction author myself Traditionally I use "Gender Bender" when speaking about someone changing genders for more of a comedy or sexual story and not in a no social way I traditionally don't refer to those characters as "Transgender" because I feel like that's referring to something different, a more social and personal voluntary change, as opposed a guy just becoming a girl for the purposes of a story.

I know other authors and artists who us TG to refer to the same thing I call "Gender Bender" so either is probably fine, but I can't speak for all readers, writers and artists.
