    It’s like any person from a minoritized group dating a person who views them as a fetish object. They don’t view you as a unique individual, only as a physical embodiment of something they find sexy. Even for a casual hookup, they might not respect boundaries or be interested in making you feel good. If they’re actually a good partner, it’s because they care about you as a person.

    The real problem with chasers isn’t them having a thing for trans people, but being incapable of humanizing you beyond that identity. That kind of partner will never give you a good time

      So it’s not so different from heterosexual dating after all 😃

        I mean, it usually is heterosexual, with trans girls getting chased by men
