Okay, I've seen a sentiment in this group (and in other western trans spaces) that has made me realize a lot of y'all don't realize men like trans women, and are just in denial or afraid of the backlash of openly dating a trans woman.
So, I live in thr Philippines. Western men come here in mass, and I would guess a solid 50% upt to even 75% hit on trans women in the clubs. Some don't know they are trans, but some do. Not only that, but all my trans female friends have ZERO issue meeting guys at least for sex, but also casual dating (I admit these men don't usually commit to the women in question). Actually, even UNATTRACTIVE trans women are able to get even quite attractive western men. I have been shocked at the success rate of some of these women.
These men are just in denial or afraid of how rheir peers will react. In Philippines, they act more freely as they are more free of judgement. My trans female friends are aware some of the men are in denial. But openly dating is getting more common.
Finally, you probably want to talk about chasers. Okay, I have an opinion : Chasers is an overblown problem. BECAASE of the concept of that trans women COULDN'T have men liking them. The concept of chasers gets overblown because of transphobic ideas. Listen, most men who date trans women are jsu dating women they are attracted to. Pretty trans women get approached more. Trans women that look very feminine get approached more. Its just men chasing women they like.
And a last note on chasers : It may appear a man only dates trans women when in reality is they've been pigeon holed into it by bigotry. Mist cis women here upon learning I date trans women either outright block/ghost me or go on long transphobic tirades about how trans women aren't real women.
Final final point : I am nonbinary, however I also feel like a straight man. It is confusing. I am not cis for sure, but I do feel I am basically straight. I like and date trans women or cis women. I am not a chaser. But that doesn't mean there are not reasons to date trans women over cis women. As a group, they are more open minded about gender roles and gender identity. Particularly, they are more okay with me acting more feminine (I am somewhat ...flambouyant). A lot of cis womwn are put off by my feminity but most trans women seem okay with it. As well, I find trans women to be less likely to be judgemental in many other ways. To be blunt, they are, as a group, more progressive than cis women. This is particularly important as I live in tbe Philippines, a fairly conservative country.
Okay, my point is : To all you trans women out there thinking straight men will never love you. They will. Bigotry always loses, and we are moving the right direction.
