      TBH I read it more as a somewhat awkward attempt to acknowledge that some trans people may initially dismiss their transness as a fetish, before realizing there is more to.

        Yeah, the way I understand it, you’re not actually a chaser unless you go around chasing people, regardless of what you’re into. And just dating trans people wouldn’t do it either, you’d have to be objectifying/using them. Correct me if I’m wrong.

        Bro no way I was actually shocked to see your profile picture. That exact image poured some memories and feelings from a childhood time into me the moment I saw it. I almost forgot I knew this image, but I instantly knew it must this image I had seen many years ago. Damn.

        OK to be a chaser? Not OK to not want to have sex with trans women? I’m always confused about this point.

        I fully support trans people, everyone has a right to be happy. My own child is gender fluid and gets my 200% full support, but for the life of me I can’t understand what’s wrong with refusing the date trans people.

        (please don’t just downvote me, teach me…)

          I think there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just what you are into, except if you are weird about it, in both cases. What i do is know that person and don’t think about their genitals

      I think it’s more about transformation fetishists. Which, honestly, is how I got introduced into this world.

      I pretty much was that guy for like 20 years before I ventured further down this chart. Except less enthusiastic about it.

      Well, I have seen this before on Reddit some time ago but it was on a transformation porn subreddit so if it was originally made for something like that it makes more sense

      I don’t think the author meant chasers, a lot of trans people interpret (or develop through) their transness a “being the other gender” fetish.
