      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.

    Would be so much better if they didn’t use the abbreviate of “TG” and just wrote it out. Like I’m trans and don’t 100% know what they meant. Like I assume it’s trans gender? But then that doesn’t quite fit dramatically with the first sentence.

      Maybe agender would resonate with you?

      Also, one of my genderfluid friends describes their sexuality as bi but as “gay in both directions” which is just delightful to me.

    I feel like the way they included stop portions on the masculine side they should’ve also included a stop portion on the feminine side because femboys are valid too, and aren’t just “trans girls in-denial” like is often said about us.

      I think you could stop at any point along the chart, although some of them seem pretty far from comfortable to me.

        That is true, I mean that this one

        Is also a natural stopping point for femboys in the same way that this one

        is for Gender Conforming Cis people.

        So while technecally any point could be a stopping point, despite being very uncomfortable (especially this one) what I meant is that this is a definitive end point for people who consider themselves femboys, as in males who identify as male but choose to dress and present in a feminine way.

          Yeah, I get you. I think the two panels directly above those are also likely stopping points, just a cis dude who’s attracted to trans bodies (everyone can have a fetish but…) or a cis dude who thinks gender exploration is fascinating (much healthier imo)
