Your feeling are valid but I will say that there are men who are specifically attracted to trans people and while that may trigger our dysphoria, that’s still incredibly valid. I think we should move away from shaming men who are explicitly attracted to trans people.https://twitter.com/whatsgooddiablo/status/1164282934402191360 …

I think part of the issue here is people disagreeing what counts as a “fetish”. That said, I feel weird about concept of “trans-amorous men” because it seems to position attraction to trans women as basically a special sexual orientation which fails to make sense to me.

But idk, it could also be that the “sexual orientation reading” is an interpretation of the term that comes from my ignorance of what it’s like to be genuinely attracted to men, and really “trans-amorous men” refers to a community aligned with that of trans women who date men

This isn't really related. But it reminds me of what dad often says which is. There is no such thing as gay love, straight love nor lesbian love there is only love.

How many trans people have you genuinely encountered who think like that? And do you know their histories well enough to get why they might think like that? Women forming whisper networks to identify creepy and predatory men is perfectly normal.

I think it’s not a hard line of demarcation, like, a persons disposition goes on a spectrum from not being attracted to trans people to being okay with us, into us, obsessed with us, and I’m sure there people who fit into every nook and cranny inbetween, but if...

This reads to me as cis men who are CHASERS with some fetish towards trans folks. People who are attracted to trans folks are attracted to us for the right reasons. They don’t need a label.
