Thank you. With TG caps I think there's a potentially awkward line between racial fetishisation, and being non-inclusive, and I think my stuff's veered too much towards the latter side - my caps (like the majority out there) are a bit too white. That said, I'm also painfully aware that some stuff - a simple petty-criminal-feminised-as-punishment tale, for example - can take on a very different context if you use a black model. TG fiction is kind of a minefield for guilty white liberal types like myself, and throwing race into the equation makes things doubly difficult. Though I will try to do more non-white-people stuff in future :)
I like a nice cap that isn't a white person but isn't about race :) ~DAGS
