My friend was called a chaser
My cis male bi friend was recently called a trans chaser by a few trans guys in our friend group, one of which is his ex. I’m a trans guy myself and I wouldn’t call him a trans chaser.
He has dated several trans guys but his type is literally alt and queer twink-ish or androgynous types. That’s obviously not all trans guys. His type just happens to be that. He’s dated a few cis girls but no trans girls (though he’s not opposed to that). He does have a lot of internalized homophobia due to homophobic comments made by former friends and he acknowledges that. It’s the main reason why he doesn’t date or hook up with cis guys. I’d like to know y’all’s opinions or perspectives on this because it’s really hitting him hard.
Edit: I want to add that he has kind of a block cause by the internalized homophobia. He’s more than willing to be with a cis guy if the time is taken to ease his anxiety
Edit 2: Thank you everyone for your input and opinions. I do apologize as I’m only going off of what he and others have told me and how I feel about him as a person. I do agree that there’s more to his internalized homophobia because if he has trouble dating a cis guy, but no issues dating a trans guy, then there must be an underlying feeling of trans guys not entirely being guys. I really appreciate you guys and your opinions! I’ll talk with him so he can address these concerns with his therapist and hopefully more forward as a better person with a better understanding of trans guys and trans people in general
Edit 3: I see how my replies came across. Initially, I was trying to defend him because he is my friend. However, I’ve heard what all of you have said and thank you for helping me see that. I did want your opinions and that’s what you gave me so I’m very appreciative of all of you. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was taking his side over my communities and my fellow trans guys. That wasn’t my intention, but I understand all of you questioning him and myself.
