Separate section for trans people and their admirers
I think trans men and trans women along with people who are trans-attracted deserve to have their own separate posting section. That way, trans community members and their admirers can better easily connect with one another. It would be beneficial and make sense to give trans people and their seekers their own platform, connected to the rest of Grindr but as a section within the existing app. You could call it GrindrTrans or something.

RE: Jaymes
ABSOLUTELY phuk’n correct!
I’ve been saying this for years on this blog.
1. This filter would be behind a paywall. (OVERPRICED PAYWALL)
2. Humans. They lie, they sneak. Filters wouldn’t work because filter required info has never been mandatory or possible to verify. Profiles are inaccurate.
3. Enforce mandatory minimum profile info. Warn then ban those who cheat the minimum info requirements. List you’re a male but present as a female..NO. List you’re a male but identify as she/her..NOJust create a separate app for each orientation. Let those who want whoever in their life join the app they desire that hosts their type. Remind those that wander they are on the wrong app.
Look around in nature at some things and you’ll notice certain creatures, types and so on, simply don’t mingle when forced to.
If you want to find bisexuals, there are bisexual apps
Want to find trans, trans apps.
Swinger apps..
Apps for all orientations! But you go look on those apps if that’s your interest. Fine if trans look on these apps as well, even on a gay men’s app, because yes, there are gay trans!
But if it was just one central monster mingle app in the world where everyone was forced to go to find the desired one, we’d hate in a minute!
Trans and their admirers demand respect and to be allowed on all the M4M apps and they’ve gotten it. But respect comes with respect. We gay men have tolerated enough and now we are telling trans folk that it’s getting out of control and our apps are changing against us. So show some respect trans folks and try to entertain our wants for once and be open to some change in the apps we once enjoyed. This is called mutual respect.
Because no one should be allowed to become a squatter and when that happens someone is always on the outside looking in and that goes both ways. Time to communicate, time to respect one another. -

To anyone saying oh trans belong her just filter them. Yea then what happens when they don't put their gender in their info?
No trans shouldn't be on here. Neither should women or straight men and straight couples. Men only. Real men. -
Stuart McClain commented
there are Trans MEN - that are Gay. I don't know if we need a separate section necessarily - but but be able to filter - so you don't see what you don't want to see. right now you can identify - but not search for Trans Men or Women.
btw - many trans women still have a penis and like to have anal intercourse with men. so why exclude them from the site? that is not necessary if you can filter them out to get what you want. What Jaymes has written is hateful. -
Jaymes commented
This is a major issue because to appease the trannies and the they/them non binary wacko they want to see Homosexual/homosexuality be seen as hateful language and want us to be referred to as same sex attracted people rather than just gay/Homosexual. There was a time when queer was a slur now it's "preffered" language. I'm sorry I don't want to see trannies and women. This is an app for GAY HOMOSEXUAL MEN

My problem is that when one writes to me and I politely respond saying that they're not my type however they are lovely to wish this chick responds that I'm a bigot and a transphobic and a misogynist all in one sentence. Listen bitch I didn't say I didn't like you I just said I didn't want to fuck you and I'm the asshole here when you're the one trying to shame me in the fucking you let's not get confused here this is the kind of bullshit going on because of all this crap

@AJ.
When I come on Grindr I'm looking for masculinity not men dressed up as women with dicks it's totally counterintuitive and makes no sense to me and I'll be damned if I'm going to have to readjust my preferences so that I don't get called a goddamn bigot so yeah they should have their own section just like us gay guys should have our own section just like every preference or part of this whole sexual community should have their own section segregation is made for a reason you know sometimes and I'm not going to adjust it the way you suggest it because that's just a lazy way to say oh brother just do it

A trans person must have ask this, I say that be cause it is so complicated and counter intuitive. There is somthing to taking the path of least restance. But no Transgender person is going to travel that path they insist on the path least traveled, no mater how long it takes or where they end up. I understand it's not their fault, but at the same time I don't believe it's my fault either. It's simple, fix the bio, to ask verifiable questions, then ad in all the search options anyone might like, the results will be that every one will be happy.

AJ,
Explain what kind of men (dick) you say you’re getting from Translr?
Straight, bi, gay dick or is it trans dick?
Think we all on here prefer one of the first three.. -
AJ commented
My advice is: if you can’t beat them, join them! I recently set-up a profile as a gay male on the transgender dating siteTranslr a while ago. At first the moderators gave me a lot of hassle and wanted me off the site but they refused to say why out of concern for being seen as discriminatory against an LGBT person who just happens to identify as cis male (get over it man haters!). Anyway it’s a great way to get dick, it’s a very untapped market. More gay men should join it.

Adam Maxwell commented
Could be as simple as better filtering process.
Make gender in bio mandatory.
And add an additional filter for “interested in”
Then you can filter for only what you want to see and filter out those only looking for trans.These filters should also have a function that prevents anyone to message you that’s not what you’re looking for.
This would streamline grindrs user experience and aid in the prevention of hate messages directed towards trans users.
No real need to segregate them completely.

I don't want trans man be segregated Gay man is equal to white privilege. Trans people as well bisexual people facing intolerance and discrimination. Trans man and trans woman deserve their own app or website. A place where their won't deal with the ignorance and be themselves. As bisexual, I'm still facing a lot judgement from gay and straight friends. Until people in general don't learns to accept and tolerate something different/opposite to their beliefs, morals religion and education minorities need their own space. Not aside, inside of this universe.
Because is forbidden here i doesn't mean umit is universally bad..In some place what is not acceptable, it us perfectly normal in other. It is just different and we need to respect and learn from that. -
Stuart McClain commented
I don't understand why we would want to segregate trans people or kick them off.
there are LOTS of gay men that ARE interested in Trans people. A trans man that is attracted to another man (Trans or not) is "gay". A CIS male can be attracted to a trans woman - if no surgery, they have the same genitalia. I think trans people mostly wanted to be treated the way anyone of their gender identy is. -
Robert Hargis commented
my problem is now there are so many profiles that you cannot block. I block, refresh and they come right back over and over again. I report them as spam but its hours before they finally go away for a few days only to have others take their place and then some of the original ones come back again.

When I joined it was because it was supposed to for gay me but lately it seems more trans and people looking for trans I do more blocking than finding someone

woofwolf commented
Anonymous,I understand that giving trams people should get a taste of there own actions. But doing so would be wrong. If gay men act like trans people do on Grindr then we are no better then they are in their actions on Grindr. Most gay CIS gay men are not interested in trans people period. But we also should not lower our ethics to prove a point.
I think all we should say to trans people is we don’t want you on Grindr it was designed for gay men to meet other gay men and we are not discriminating on who you are but you are not welcome on Grindr.

We should all invade Translr, make transphobic comments on our profiles and messages like the STR8 do to us on Grindr, demand that the app rebrand itself as more inclusive of gay men, all while accusing them of being homophobic. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Translr is an app for trans people, maybe all us gays should start going on there

David Portillo commented
This is absolutely true and definitely seen same thing here in California! It's just getting to be so unfair to Just being Gay! I will always be Gay as I was born! I don't have any attraction or interest as most Gay men want men! I don't find this fair to Gay men as what it was originally designed for! It's as if they are adding straight people to app. So I can't reply or share same interest! It's already hard enough to find someone we are attracted to and similar interests! I feel as if the importance of values of all the accomplishments to be Gay have been lost by losing the interest as Gay men ! I just don't get why it's gotten this far and yet nobody seems to care or deal with this concern!
