The Hottest Transwoman, and other interesting search terms

I’ve been keeping an eye on what search terms people find my blog under, and some are pretty interesting. I thought I’d share a few. I think the one that takes the cake is “Hottest Transwoman.” I googled it myself, and apparently I come up as the number one hit. Can I say that I’m the hottest transwoman now? Google made it official.

But seriously, the part that’s so wonderful about that is that “Hottest Transwoman” takes you to my post on exotification and tranny chasers. It’s just so perfect that someone searching for hot transwomen will end up reading an article on exotification and tranny chasers.

Apparently, though, the term that’s getting me the most attention is “Ciswoman.” In addition to being the number one most frequently used search term to find this blog, “cispeople” is number four, “ciswoman defintion” and “ciswomen definition” are five and seven. In fact, “definition” is an often used term, whether paired with “ciswoman,” or “queerspawn,” or “transmasculine.”

“Tranny chaser” and its plural variant take number two and three. Other varients, including “ftm tranny chaser,” have gotten a few hits as well.

I also got a some hits for “Stephen Colbert” plus a term like “bisexual,” “transphobia” or “shemale.” In fact, I got a lot of hits for “shemale” because of when I reported on Stephen using the term.

And some fun random search terms that came up.
“Tatooed dyke”
“Why trans with LGB”
“What would happen if there were no laws”
“Femme phobia”
“What is trickle down in politics”
“Attracted to transwomen”
“Women attracted to transwomen”
“All the butches are going trans”
“Oregon straight domestic partnership”
