Attraction to transgender people is romantic or sexual attraction toward transgender people. Attraction to transgender people can be toward trans men, trans women, non-binary people, or a combination of these. This attraction can be a person's occasional, preferred, primary, or exclusive interest. Like transgender people, individuals attracted to transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, or with none of these categories; they may identify as transgender or cisgender. ==Terminology== There are a variety of terms, inside both the transgender and academic communities, for people who are attracted to transgender people. These terms include ''admirer'', ''transfan'', ''tammyfan'', ''trans * catcher'', ''trans * erotic'', ''transsensual'', ''tranny chaser'', ''tranny hawk'',〔Baker, Paul (2004). ''Fantabulosa: A Dictionary of Polari and Gay Slang.'' Continuum International Publishing Group, ISBN 978-0-8264-7343-1〕 though the final two may be considered offensive as they contain a slur. The term ''tranny chaser'' was originally (and still predominantly) used to describe men sexually interested in visibly trans women, but it is now used by some trans men as well. Transgender people often use the term in a pejorative sense, because they consider chasers to value them for their trans status alone, rather than being attracted to them as a person. However, some claim this term in an affirming manner. The term ''tranny'' (or ''trannie'') is itself considered a slur in many circles.〔Staff report (4 January 2010). (Paper guilty of transsexual slur. ) ''BBC News''〕〔Lennard, Natasha (April 7, 2010). (Transgender Film Draws Protests at Festival Site. ) ''New York Times''〕 Less pejorative terms such as ''transamorous'' and ''transsensual'' have also emerged, but they have not seen much usage.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Attraction to transgender people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
