someone who dates a lot of trans people
often a john or sugar daddy who's convinced themselves that they can have their cake and eat it too without being
out of the closet. even when acting a
perfect gentleman, chasers can't help dehumanizing or fetishizing their trans dates, because they're not being honest about their own needs. because they're so thirsty, chasers are the #1 provider of material support for trans girls outside of Lyon-Martin.
also used within trans circles to signal that someone's dating habits are ethically
questionable, ie. they /only/ date trans women but not cis women, or they date cis women and femme trans men but not trans women — aka invalidating trans identities while simultaneously claiming allyship.
shortened from tranny chaser by trans women to remove the distasteful slur and focus on naming the offense.
