      Because chasers undermine the expressed gender identity of trans individuals for the sake of their own sexual pleasure. Calling it “transphilic” is just semantical wordplay that dismisses the inherently predatory nature of chasers.

        I don’t get it.

        How is it undermining that and not affirming? I mean to fetishise a group is wrong, I get that and that is also my opinion but if they want to fuck a transwoman they want that because she is a woman which affirms the womanhood?

        And the point is how is it transhate if you like the trans aspect specifically. Doesn’t make sense to me.

        It is not a wordplay it is what those words mean. Phobic means something like hate or fear and phile means something like love or attraction.

          The poor thing thinks words mean whatever they decide they mean. They’re not capable of explaining their position in an intelligent way, either.

          No, chasers are people that specifically fetishize transwomen or transmen for being trans.

            Hmm okay. But the I still don’t understand how it is transphobic.

                I can see that. But that wouldn’t be “negrophobic” either. Not everything negativ in the context of a group is phobia.

              You don’t understand how undermining someone’s gender identity by focusing on them being trans over them being their expressed gender is transphobic?

                No.

                Edit: as phobic means you want to get away from something or don’t want it to exist. Fetishising is the exact opposite.

                If someone is arachnophobic that doesn’t mean he wants to fuck a spider or undermine the identity of the spider. That someone wants the spider be gone because it is a spider.

                    This whole exchange could be more productive if you could explain your opinions.
