Model Alex Consani, notable for being one of the first out trans models to walk the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, shares her experiences with dating as a trans person. In a feature for Them magazine, she communicates the challenges of navigating romantic interests, especially given her visibility and the potential fetishization that can come from it. While she describes enjoying her dating life, she emphasizes the importance of self-exploration and warns about the mixed intentions of those attracted to her as a public figure. Consani also highlights her advocacy against anti-trans sentiments and policies.
"It's important, especially as a trans adult, to find yourself and find what you like. I'm still coming into that and definitely have been more active."
"If anything, it might be a little bit more difficult because you never know people's intentions...especially being in a minority community that's often fetishised."
