    It’s also chauvinism, applying a political litmus test to declare who is trans- as if they have a monopoly on it or something.

    The chaser stuff really bothers me too, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to being horny, but when you’re doing shit like that in what are supposed to be trans spaces? and acting like you get to say what politics are allowed? just sends me into a rage

      I’m generally careful with the term, i get that not everybody dating trans people is a chaser, i have cis masc friends who’ve been in relationships with trans girls, i cherish all relationships where i see my sisters thrive, i’m t4t myself, but as soon as something that may be fetishization and something that is obvious transphobia intersects, the case is crystal clear.
