Are traps gay

Trap is a slang term for a feminized male with an intact penis. This pattern suggests that autogynephilia and trans-attraction might be related. What great nuggets of wisdom will be unearthed? If we assume that a trap identifies as male, and they were attracted to men, then they are gay.

Here, in chapter 4. "Are Traps Gay?" is a satirical debate within otaku and alt-right online communities, attempting to determine if being attracted to a crossdressing man is an indication of homosexuality. A psychosexual journey to the heart of a bad t this channel: Donate: Subscribe.

Some will then defend this (often jokingly) as not being gay because they look like a girl or they're cute. This contextual attraction to men— meta-androphilia —is based in cross-gender embodiment rather than a direct, conventional attraction to the male form.

Kinda depends how you define it. If a male is inadvertently attracted to someone because they appear female or feminine, that attraction is connected to their interest in women. Some trans people identify as traps. Studies suggest that this kind of attraction is a variant of heterosexuality [i].

This "traps" other men into being attracted to a boy, which is gay. Probably not. Understanding Trans is a reader-supported publication. In that case, no it's not gay because transwomen are women. Some may argue that even though such a male initially thought they were attracted to someone of the female sex, the fact that the object of attraction was biologically male is evidence that they are technically gay—at least a little bit.

If a male is inadvertently attracted to a feminized male, is that attraction homosexual in nature? If they identify as male and are attracted to women, then they aren’t gay. When meta-androphilia makes a male attracted to being a woman with a man, even if apparently homosexual behavior results, the underlying psychology differs from conventional homosexuality.

If a male is predominantly attracted to men because it allows them to play a feminine sex role, is it really gay? The answers to it are usually as silly as the question itself. In stating “traps are gay,” they seek to affirm these horribly toxic norms by degrading trans women instead of trying to realize the inadequacies of their insecurity.

Recall that autogynephilia often drives an attraction to being a woman with a man. A trap is a boy that looks convincingly like a girl. Thus, the phrase invalidates transitions and insinuates that trans women are simply gay men. After all, they are both of the same sex, which makes the attraction homosexual, right?

Autogynephilic male crossdressers showed a similar pattern to trans-attracted males when they were tested in the lab [iii]. The term implies a level of passing that would make their birth sex come as a surprise. This irreverent, nonsensical question is one of the most entertaining ways to have conversations about sex, gender, sexuality, and the connections among them.
