S5 EP2| Cis men who date trans woman: Love, fetish, grief, validation, chasers #justiceforstacyblahnik

Part 1. Trigger Warning: ⚠️ This episode discusses unaliving, grief, and sensitive topics around trans women’s lives and safety. In Conversation with Malik we gain understanding in an open and honest talk about his life and experiences. For far too long, there’s been dissonance around the terms “trans-attracted,” “T-chasers,” and the silence surrounding men who love trans women but aren’t front-facing in that truth. This episode set out to hold space for that conversation with 2 cis men who, and their love for trans women, have also faced transmisia but are rarely invited into the dialogue. But the interview took a sensitive turn. Malik opened up about his former partner, our sister Stacy, who was tragically unalived. We send our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and community, and honor her legacy. ‼️ Please note: these are Malik’s opinions, and we say allegedly as this remains a cold case. At its heart, this episode is about love, why something meant to heal and uplift comes with so much trauma, stigma, and silence.
