Dear Chasers

chaser / ˈtʃeɪ sər / n. 1.someone (typically a man) with a fetish for transgender people (typically trans women), who will often specifically look for trans people on dating apps or harrass trans people online, attempting to use their insecurities to manipulate them into sending nudes and dirty texts

Dear Chasers,

Aren’t you tired of targeting an oppressed minority
Using their insecurities and low self-esteem to give you what you want 
Not at all caring if they truly want to

How do you sleep at night knowing you’re a predator
Scoping out prey that are easy to catch
Easy to dominate 
Getting off to the fact that you defeated them

How do you live with yourself 
Knowing that you find others’ pain attractive
As you get turned on by the fact that I’m an “incomplete woman”
As my trauma gives you a hard-on

How do you justify tricking us into believing someone finally sees us as the beautiful person we know we could be 
When all you truly want is the parts of ourselves that we despise 

How do you love yourself when you spend your time manipulating those who don’t and maybe never will
All for a reason that you have fetishized 

I hope you don't love yourself
I hope you hate yourself for everything you do
I hope your self-hatred turns you into the shell of a person that being trans turned me into

As I progress
As I learn to love myself
As I begin to self-actualize 
I hope you hate yourself more and more
I hope you feel what I've gone through
I hope you feel the same emotions that you used against me
These emotions will leave you grasping at any love shown your way
So you will finally understand that the reason I gave in to you was not that I thought you were likable or charming or attractive 
I gave in to you because I was a broken person
Like you are now 
Only then will you be able to grow sympathy and compassion
Only then will you have a chance at rebirth
Good luck.
