Focusing on the feminized body, a medically induced femme figure-brought on by a prescribed estrogen-based puberty-and its relation to feminist theory's classification of the sexualized labor it is often subjected to. Viewing the body from within its binary (zeros and ones, rgb, as well as the skewed data input of larger language models and the bias it perpetuates), the bounds of the digital frame and its machined gaze process the intake of data, reshape/recontextualize it through the machines vision. The feminized body, when existing as a digital object of consumption, becomes virtual, a simulacrum shaping the way one relates to their own subjectivity. These digital copies can be printed or physically manifested and reproduced (fleshlights, sex dolls, etc.), each time becoming less representative of their original representative form as they take shape as sensory-based tools for pleasure and s(t)imulation.
