how does one define it? i'm worried i may come across as one, since i am a cis man but like trans women. the thing is, it's been a slow evolution for me. i first saw trans porn in around 2000/2001, which is long before it has become big over the past 5 years or so. Then I had my first TS sex in 2002, which was really cool, with an escort. I was about 20 back then, but now as I am older (and to use the cliche, wiser) I have wanted to date trans women beyond just seeing them as sexual objects or from a sexualised standpoint. I think what has changed is that I see numerous Youtube vlogs, and see that they are human beings and not sex objects, and don't deserve to be seen that way (nobody does of any description). I used to check out Nicole Ramos (but she took her profile down), but now mostly Caroland and Angela Vanity. I would now happily be friends with and date a trans woman, beyond just the sexual, and I do still see trans porn, i equate it with seeing genetic women porn. I like genetic women too, but then i don't think seeing genetic women porn per se denotes sexualisation. I even get angry when people say shit like "trans women are confused men" or "they're just confused gay guys" since this flies in the face of a shitload of medical evidence. And Milo Yiannopolous, I LIKE him, I agree with 90% of what he says about gamergate, uni safe spaces, and radical feminism, but not his views on transgenderism, since it's not a sham it's just medical science. It's like saying eating too much fatty foods is bad for you is a sham, they're both laughable statements on both counts. And this is reaaaallly goofy and dim, but then sometimes i daydream about being Mia Isabella's boyfriend. Just she comes across very sweet and smart, and hot, and also loyal and understanding. I bet she's been with many Hollywood people, and hasn't spilt the beans on this, a lot more than just Tyga, I bet. tl:dr I know being deemed a chaser is bad, but if a man is trans-attracted, and can see beyond porn and other potentially bad connotations, and is willing to see a trans woman on a human level, does this make him a chaser?
In my opinion, being a chaser is about completely fetishizing a person. It would mean that you see trans women as sex objects, like them because they are trans and because they are a woman with a penis. A chaser would be extremely upset if his trans girlfriend decided she wanted genital surgery because he fetishizes her parts. He might force her to do acts that would make her uncomfortable, like topping. Chasing is not exclusive to trans people either. There are chubby chasers, and I would define them the same way. Thinking overweight women are a novelty, valuing her weight in a pure sexual way, and ending a relationship with her if she lost weight. Simply being attracted to trans women is not bad as long as you view them like cis women and don't treat them differently. Hope this helps.
Being attracted to trans individuals is perfectly fine, the only point where its wrong is if you simply treat us as sex objects or some time of weird fetish; but frankly I think you summed it up well... treat us like human beings; people. Real relationships with real connections for real people. Trust me your not a chaser... :3 gl!
What you find attractive3 and desirable is totally fine. Seeking that out in a partner is totally fine. Objectifying or only seeking that out because of the body only is not fine. Every one of us, no matter if we are LGBTQ or not, is a human being, a person with emotions, hopes, dreams, goals, desires and so much more. Failing to see that means you make the other person into a thing, an object, a tool to be used and cast aside and, that is wrong. It would be like me flirting you up and saying "Hey handsome, give me hand changing the oil in my car." then as soon as you got the oil changed. "get away from me, I hate you and never want to see you again." How would you feel? Used, thrown away, deceived, lied to, angry, hurt, more wary of the next person to flirt with you? Yep, not good and definitely wrong to make others feel that way.
anytime i see the word chaser, it's always more associated with fetishizing a certain sex appeal. I've heard of chub chaser, belly chaser, bug chasers (people who wants to be contracted with HIV/AIDS, yes this actually exists) trans chaser, daddy chaser, BBC chasers and the list goes on, and I blame porn BIG TIME for that. it's not a bad thing if you can see beyond the sex appeal and focus more on the person itself. that's just having a preference. As a chaser? mehh, i feel a bit neutral on it, people have their own way of satisfying their needs, but if it compromises moral grounds, i think that's a big issue. like bug chasers? i'm sort of used to chub chasers, and it's just guys who have a preference to a certain body type. whether their love life is doomed to fail or not, it's not for me to judge.
i don't think there's anything wrong with having preferences as long as you treat your partners with the respect they deserve
