Trans Loving Trans

From LGBTQIA

Trans Loving Trans (TLT), also known as T4T (Trans for Trans), is a term for transgender individuals who are either exclusively or primarily attracted to trans or otherwise non-cis individuals, or emphasize or prioritize their attraction and relationships with other trans individuals.

They may be unwilling to date cisgender individuals, which can stem from wanting to be safe, due to trauma, oppression, etc.

One may prefer a trans partner because one would relate to them more. One may also not want to be vulnerable to misconceptions, misgendering, or oppression from a cisgender partner.

History

The first T4T flag was created by mod Kau at Tumblr blog Beyond-MOGAI-Pride-Flags on May 31, 2018.[1] It is currently unknown who coined the term, but it can be presumed that it has been used generally in the transgender community. The flag was adjusted by polyamaesthetic in June 2020 (The original post no longer exists).[2] Another flag was created by Tumblr user guiltyidealist and has the colors pink, blue, and yellow as the core colors to respectively represent trans women, trans men, and nonbinary individuals as well as diversity and inclusivity.[3]

The TM4TM and TW4TW, as well as TM4TW and TW4TM flags were created by mod Kau at Tumblr blog Beyond-MOGAI-Pride-Flags in May, 2018.[4][5] Another T4T flag was made by Ian and Nio of t4tpos on Twitter but this one is controversial due to its creators being m-spec lesbian and gay exclusionists.[6][7]
