Wtf Ben, it took me like, a whole minute to look that up. And then the cutting, and the pasting... Blah! Next time be more specific!!!

As far as transexuals are concerned, I can only think it would mean occupation, the line of work they do. Unless your into the whole slavery thing, bartering with peoples lives, then I haven't a clue what 'trade' would mean specificaly concerning TS...

[kilakali]

A man who messes around with transexuals, but no one would ever know by looking or talking to him. In other words a "straight" looking man.

So is this a considered a derogatory term similar to being called a chaser?

Are you talking about content trade? That's where I shoot with model X and instead of pay we share content for our own specific websites... usually several sets are shot and then we "trade" content in lieu of payment.
