Transmasc People Have “Chasers,” Too — And It’s Important to Understand Why

6 months ago by hexagon527 to c/ftm

On TikTok and beyond, trans guys are opening up a difficult conversation.

"There has even been some discussion about whether or not trans men are subjects to chasers at all, because so often trans men are often mistakenly viewed in two camps: not passing, and being seen as a woman, or passing, and being unclockable as trans."

This text should not have been included without the prefix "Some fucking morons say." It would be just as moronic applied to trans women.

I would think surely not, if we accept that the term should be reserved for those that are problematic.

If you mean people who will treat you with respect and be attracted to you, I'm all for it.

(And want what you want, ain't my business, but I would hope against unhealthy things for you)

Random comments from random person that you can ignore as you wish. <3

Haha, I just want someone to be attracted to me. I guess respect would be a bonus.

I was joking, I probably wouldn't enjoy having a chaser after me.

Just don't give the fetishists any power over you. You'll find someone(s) who love(s) the whole you and you don't want to be stuck in some unhappy bullshit when you do.

The hardest part is figuring out who is being friendly and who is being flirty. From everything I've read and having been alive more than 50 years… that's no small task. One of the sucky parts of life is figuring out years later that someone probably was attracted (that you were also interested in), but you had no clue. I have many many regrets :)

Hang in there, someone probably is attracted to you. And if not, perhaps and hopefully will be. <3

But I'm also glad you were joking.
