Tranny chaser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Tranny chaser is an individual who is sexually attracted to transgendered people. Originally (and still predominately) used to describe the men interested in pre-operative transwomen, the term tranny chaser is now being used in FTM communities as well. Many members of the transgendered community (particularly in the MTF population) use "tranny chaser" in a pejorative sense, because they consider it a fetish-like attraction to the penis of a pre-operative or non-operative transwoman MTF or to the vagina of a pre- or non-operative transman. ==See also==
