The problem with chasers is that they are not seeing trans women as women / trans men as men / etc. They are seeing them as a separate, fetish-fulfilling, object of desire. It is dehumanising and invalidating of their gender

Bearing in mind as well that many trans people have absolutely no intention of getting any surgery and are perfectly happy with their existing genitalia, so, many trans folk are not "pre-op" - they cannot be "pre" something they never plan to do

As far as your second question, nonbinary folks might not be feminine enough / masculine enough to fit the chaser's model of attraction, but dont you worry, plenty of chasers do fetishise and invalidate the genders of nonbinary folks! They'll subconsciously reduce them to being their AGAB or the opposite gender, and once again make them an object of fetish rather than a person.
