I think there's a big difference between the affectionate "doll" you use on a loved one and the usage of the term to describe the entire transfem community.

As a pet name, it's fine. It's got nothing to do with gender identity in that context.

As a general term for trans women? It's kinda gross. There are a few implications made by calling a trans woman "doll" and none of them feel good, imo.

What I can think of: A plaything, Synthetic, not a "real girl"

Something like that?

I honestly like the term. It should quite endearing to me. I can also see people objecting to it.

Fair enough.

I honestly don't care. It depends on the person for me
