Listener Question: Am I a Chaser? Apr 26, 2018

Show notes

Does being attracted to a transgender woman make you a chaser? In this episode we read a listener question from Stephen who asks "I met this girl online and we started dating. A couple dates in, she tells me that she's trans. I was totally okay with it, and so we continued dating. We shortly thereafter ended up in the bedroom, and at the danger of being crass, dare I say that it was probably one of the best experiences I'd had in that department. As time went on, our relationship devolved for reasons unrelated and came to an end, but it left me more sexually open and interested.So, I tried my hand at dating men, since they share some of the parts that were fun, but I didn't like it, because as it turns out, I'm not into men. While I still very much enjoy cis women as well, I think I've grown a preference towards trans women. I definitely think that I go out of my way to be respectful and a gentleman to anyone I date, regardless of where they are on the spectrum. Does this make me a chaser, and if so, do I just stop attempting to date trans folks?"

We're fans of Her Story, starring Jen Richards.

There's plenty of talk about fetish porn in this episode, but you're going to have to do your own research there.

Do You Miss Anything about Living as a Guy? Mar 15, 2018

Show notes

It's amazing to transition, but is everything always perfect afterward? This week we answer a listener question from Nora. She asks "Is there anything about being a cis male that you miss? Please don’t misconstrue this as 'do you regret transitioning?' That question would be rude, inconsiderate, and non of my business. And it’s not a sociological question such as 'Don’t you wish women earned as much as men?' I’m just wondering about day-to-day stuff where there’s a (generalized) difference between the way women and men do things, or the way they act.

As we discuss in the episode, check out this article on Everyday Feminism about women's secondary status in public places.
