I'm talking about the mountains of content where someone deliberately turns someone into a female in order to punish them. Honestly, if you were a powerful witch or had access to impossible sci-fi technology and your significant other was mean to you/cheated on you, why would the punishment for that be to change their gender?
There are so many mean spirited stories out there with punishment, rape, humiliation, etc. Why can't we just have some more sexy fun stories?

I disagree. In TG fiction, it's usually an ironic punishment of some sort. The victim deserves to be a woman because he's either sexist or has made a sexist slight and has to learn a lesson. Hell, even in this show the victim is a virulent sexist and a remorseless rapist. He's turned in to a woman because he treats women (and the main character) like piss on the floor.
That being said, I'm not a fan of "Turn in to a woman, and then immediately get raped by all the penises" stories, but male-to-female TG in and of itself can be a punishment without sexist connotations.
