being kind to chasers as i can be, but criticizing their defenders

because i’m trans.

but then, when it comes to chasers, i often feel like people expect us to be thankful that chasers want us, even more so, folks act like it’s just so unthinkable, not only that some chasers are female, but also folks find it unthinkable that we don’t find any chasers or their behavior to be any less worrisome only because they’re female.

as hard as it is to believe, i don’t like being treated as a sex object anymore than anybody else.

and being objectified doesn’t feel any better when it happens to be a woman who’s objectifying me, and it has happened.

“aren’t you glad to have folks who think your good for f#€%!#& and nothing else?

aren’t you glad that someone out there has any use for you?”

wow, what a relief it is to hear things like this about me.

that makes me feel so much better
