"A variety of casual terms have developed to refer to people who are attracted to transgender people. These terms include trans-attracted, trans-oriented, transfan, trans admirer, and trans catcher. The terms transromantic, transamorous and transsensual have also emerged, but have not seen much usage.Transgender people may experience sexual and romantic attraction to other transgender people. This attraction is sometimes called "trans for trans" or T4T attraction.

There are a variety of reasons why transgender people might prefer dating other transgender people. Some transgender people would rather date and have sex with other transgender people for both emotional and physical safety reasons, as cisgender people are more likely to enact gender-based violence. Others feel that dating and having sex with other transgender people is "liberating", as it allows more gender euphoria, emotional safety, and freedom to explore gender presentation without the need to prove or explain the validity of their identity. Others may simply find other transgender people more attractive than cisgender people. Lastly, T4T dating can also be a form of political identity, i.e., a form of separatism focused on advocating for transgender people within a society that may discriminate against them.
