    It refers to people who “chase” after trans people, but are only interested in the trans part (and usually only sexually) and not the actual person. It’s very objectifying.

        And for additional context, femcel communities often have lots of trans women in them, probably something about trans people being stigmatized, perceived as ugly, etc. - we are seen as losers, have difficulty finding sexual partners, generally struggle with mental health, and so are natural candidates for identifying with femcels.
