sugar glider

someone who provides emotional support in exchange for material support in a relationship, synonymous with sugar baby or bbg; counterpart to a sugar daddy. sex is often part of the exchange, but let’s be real, if being a glider was just about getting someone off that would be so easy that everyone would be doing it.

people who work several marks, or are just openly polyamorous, tend to call themselves gliders instead of babies, probably because of the freedom that “glider” implies. term is usually only spoken between providers, not with the johns, who would rather use custom pet names instead of transactional titles. glider is significantly gender-neutral and age-neutral, making it more a versatile term, ie. with tech workers, where the person providing emotional labor is probably older than the person with the dough.

derived from the f***ing adorable marsupials that steal your heart while crushing your soul with their big black eyes.
i get more respect from my marks ever since i evolved from sugar baby to sugar glider

Fish

a tran, used as a term of endearment from one trans girl to another trans girl.

"hey fish, let's swim over to the G.L.O.S.S. show already"

"ya sure, i can't wait to make that pit into a fish bowl"

evolved from a hooker code term for cis women sex workers (1970s) aka girls who sell vagina (fish-scented junk) as opposed to ass. later referring to trans women (1980s), especially asians swimming in white scenes, who look so much like cis women that for all intents and purposes are cis. later (briefly), referring to girls who've had bottom surgery and are card-carrying members of the vaginosis crew. reclaimed circa 2016 to mean all trans women, including bricks, as a fuck-you to the gay male chaser scene; now considered beyond the pale when used to signal a person's genitalia.

used awkwardly by gay men to refer to cis-passing drag queens because they look so much like a trans woman. like when rich white boys call each other hood on the golf course.

used pejoratively by gay men to refer to trans men at the club in a desperate attempt to self-affirm their trans-exclusionary homosexuality, in the same way that str8 men think touching a dick will instantly turn them gay (as if they weren't gay already).
some egg groped my girl last night so i'm pulling together a school of fish to give him a free vaginoplasty

trapper keeper

a trans girl (trap), who you want to be your trophy wife except you can't afford her 'cause you're a scrub

chaser

someone who dates a lot of trans people

often a john or sugar daddy who's convinced themselves that they can have their cake and eat it too without being out of the closet. even when acting a perfect gentleman, chasers can't help dehumanizing or fetishizing their trans dates, because they're not being honest about their own needs. because they're so thirsty, chasers are the #1 provider of material support for trans girls outside of Lyon-Martin.

also used within trans circles to signal that someone's dating habits are ethically questionable, ie. they /only/ date trans women but not cis women, or they date cis women and femme trans men but not trans women — aka invalidating trans identities while simultaneously claiming allyship.

shortened from tranny chaser by trans women to remove the distasteful slur and focus on naming the offense.
hey, tell that bro to buy me a drink, he looks like a chaser and i'm broke af

transmisogyny

that thing where people get weird about men being in dresses. so named because of how it affects trans women.

not quite transphobia. not quite misogyny. not really “the intersection of transphobia and transmisogyny” despite what Julia Serano says. but definitely the reason behind why none of your dyke friends from highschool want to let their kids talk to you now that you’re on hormones.

all the specific ways that it manifests in the world gets... really complicated. but one of those ways is why its so damn hard for a definition of this word to get through the urban dictionary review process 😂
they fired me for being “hard to work with” but we all know that it was just because they won’t own up to their basic-ass transmisogyny

ghostname

when a deadname is somehow remembered on some secret medical record or google plus account even after you’ve spent months or years deleting paypals and updating hospital files and burning bridges. and then, like jacob marley, it somehow pops back up as a suggested username on some random tuesday decades later when you’re setting up a new pokemon go account and were least prepared to handle that trauma
“my brand new iphone ghostnamed me this morning before i even had coffee, i have no idea where it found that info”

“oh shit, but u haven’t used any other name for the like 20 years i’ve known u... i... didnt even know u were trans tbh??

“ikr”
