Fellas is it chasing to be straight but attracted to trans women?

I think chasing is more about the kind of attraction where you see a body/trait first and that’s the most interesting thing to you about the person, and the rest of them is kinda interchangeable to you. And/or you want to have sex with the person, but you don’t feel interested in romance or publicly dating them.

Basically, being attracted to trans women can be just a regular part of being straight (assuming you’re a guy), since trans women are women. What makes it chasing is fetishization

What if I have a porn addiction but I’m still trying to respect trans women are just as woman as a woman.

What do you define as fetishization

I think if you have a porn addiction that involves trans women, that’s probably harder to walk back from and not have a chaser mentality, because it programs a person’s brain to react to a kind of person in a strongly sexual way. But caring not to be a chaser is a good sign, at least. Maybe someone who has recovered from a porn addiction would have a more helpful perspective than me.

yeah, it really depends on the mindset. It isn’t going to ruin your chances of having a healthy relationship for the rest of your life, you can fix it. But if your thinking is along the lines of “god, a woman with a dick is such a hot idea”, that’s textbook chaser mentality. Fixing the porn addiction is probably a good idea either way.
