I need some help here - does this mean trans boys have a lot of energy?

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're basically going through puberty when they're on HRT

So think of the energy levels of a teenage boy and you're basically spot on

The way my transmasc friend described it I basically went "Yeah that sounds about right: infinite energy, an infinite appetite, and a level of confidence that's suddenly staggering"

@Gormadt Wow - what a great description!

Energy in gen Z context means vibe.

Pretty accurate, not just for trans boys though

I'm not up with the lingo. Is a man that likes to date trans men called a chaser?

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A chaser fetishize and go after trans people in the same way people fetishize asians, latinx, black people, ect.

It's not wrong to have a preference for trans people, it is wrong to reduce them to a sex object for your pleasure. That's what a chaser is.

In short, what makes someone a chaser is objectification.

Wow. Thanks for the reply. TIL
