      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.

      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.

      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.
