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.

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.. -

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.

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. -

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. -

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

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

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!

They'll implement the change in about 2 years and pretend it was their idea all along. I don't have a problem with trans women. But the men looking for them are usually repugnant, especially since 40% aren't into t-women per se but rather need someone to boost their sense of masculinity or hide their homosexuality. Sans that, I'm ok with them keeping it the same. But I can always smell the closet cases vs the genuine bisexual or straight admirers. And frankly, I'd rather not see their pathetic faces, which are becoming more and more common (assuming they haven't blurred their pictures)

You could also do the same thing with one of the dozens of auto-clickers on Android or iPhone.
You shouldn't have to, but you could.

This has been and continues to be a huge miss for Grindr. They are more worried about being this all inclusive one size fits all brand for the LGBTQIA community and it’s not appropriate. The majority reason that people use the app is for sexual meet up’s. Sure there’s other reasons it’s used, but that is the main one.
They continue to take away a space that was originally made for gay men and their community to share.
They continue to ignore the request by Trans individuals for their own space.
They continue to ignore the request from gay men to have their own space.
They claim they are being inclusive of the queer community but you don’t see a ton of lesbians on the app trying to find meet ups. So that claim is false.
Grindr has the technology and the resources to be a champion of creating spaces tailored to the right communities to ensure safe and like minded meet ups.
Grindr is pushing a mix of the Gay and Trans community in a way that could be potentially dangerous or deadly if a user were to misrepresent themselves to another user who was expecting to meet up with someone completely different.
It’s time that Grindr stop ignoring this issue and actually do something about it. It’s clear that the culture at headquarters is out of touch with reality and the community at large would appreciate if you kept your work agenda to the offices at HQ and out of our social and dating app.

Agree when you have the free service the app throws them all o your search grids. It’s annoying then I’m top of it all the “str8” labels profiles generally are rude individuals with their bold word !! Etc

1st of all, stop limiting the paragraph to only 255 characters, Scruff doesn't do that.
2nd, it's for gay men!!! Not for straight men who want to get their fetish on with transsexuals or cross dressers! And no straight or bi couples!
What's the point of having it for gay men when there's no gay men on there!!
Make a separate app for those sickos who want to mess around with transsexuals.
This app should exclusive only for gay men or bi, who want to either date, want a relationship, or just hook up. No one else! They can go somewhere else.
Also emphasize that this can also be used for guys who want to date and look for LTR. I've been criticized so many timed on here just cause I want a date no sex.
And again, just for gay men only!!
