Thoughts on Trans Perception and Chasers

I am an openly, full-time, pansexual, polyamorous transwoman who attends a supposedly queer-friendly and "enlightened" liberal arts college. I’ve taken various steps to consolidate both my gender affirmation and perception, the most notable of which being the fact that I chose to move into the one women only residence hall (which had the added effect of reducing the frequency with which I was sexually harassed over my identity).

The problem is, after almost a whole school year out, I’ve started to realize that, although even the most uneducated of my peers are now at least paying lip service to my identity (while asking the typical insensitive questions, of course), and the administration and faculty have both been exeedingly supportive, when it comes to sexuality, even the most educated people avoid me, and the two or three other transwomen on campus, like a plague cloud of STIs.

Reasonably, there’s always the off chance that this is just due to low sample size and just happens to be bad luck. However, the thing that is leading me to examine this is the fact that, while transwomen are avoided entirely, transmen are subject to a never-ending stream of attraction.

Is this an artifact of transmisogy? While transmen, who are on a privilege updraft, have no problem being sexually perceived as the appropriate gender, transwomen are perceived as sexually untouchable.

On the other hand, Chasers, which is a transfeminine community term for men who are interested in transwomen because of a sexual objectification of idividuals with both breasts and a penis, seem to present another problem. Transfeminine communities frequently assert that chasers are known to be very dangerous due to their lack of understanding of why they are attracted to transwomen, which they tend to take out on us.

I have been unable to come to a conclusion on why transfeminine attraction is the way that it is. Is there a reason why "typical" queer culture might, even in an educated setting, shun transwomen over transmen?
