i think its an article that kind of crudely describes something that i think a lot of people can plainly see in many parts of the trans community, b4 ppl get stuck on the crude aspects of it i think the concept of "trans women as sex buyers" is an interesting thing to think about in the community bc im sure most trans girls have had the experience of opening up about transness and that being "viewed as an openness to be objectified and sexualised, and consent is provided by the simple fact of your existence as a trans girl." I can def say that lots of times in my life when I've met trans women, as soon as its just me and them the conversation quickly becomes one where i feel immediately sexualised as the other person starts talking about very intimate details of their sex lives. That is ofc just out and about in the real world, on many discord servers (especially) it seems to be a fixed expected feature of engagement. The shape of ones sex life is ofc deeply related to being trans and I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to engage in sexual behavior online either----what bothers me (as someone who has posted themselves online many times) is the way that objectification and hypersexualization can be seen as a given from within the trans community itself; and the difficult thing to talk about w/o sliding into the territory of this kind of trans girl is good and that kind is bad, is that there is a stereotype of person that engages transness this sex-pest way that we all know. speaking personally, my discomfort w the normalization of that in many online spaces is what brought me to /lgbt/ years ago, not bc this place is perfect (its far from it) but because at least it can be named here, while there exists this kind of denial and inability to talk about that in many other spaces or where it is just the mainstream. like someway somehow, /chasergen/ manages to feel notably less pornbrained than so many trans girl servers and online spaces--crazy
