Well Grindr is changing and that’s not a bad thing I think. Starting to be not just a gay dating app, but a queer one is a healthy change. Being more inclusive, less racist, sexist, transphobic is good change and I really like that Grindr is slowly changing… would be great if the gay community would as well. There is always an option to change towards another app ♥️ that’s more into cishet gay bubbles ☺️♥️

Sound like another idea to make chasers and the fetishization of trans* bodys easier. Trans* don’t need their own platform, so that they get invalidated as not cis enough again, they need validation as part of Grindr and as normal people.

As a trans* person I definitely disagree on this idea. What would work, would be, that the search engine could search for the gender // pronouns as well and not just for the „trans“ tribe (so chasers can filter and misogynistic gay guys as well). The option to choose ones body parts and filter towards that would be helpful as well both groups. Here it would be important to do some community work and teach ppl via a pop up window that typical chaser lingo towards trans* ppl is rude and inappropriate ♥️

Btw. being fetishized for a body that otherwise is used to invalidate ones gender is not cool. Grindr has a huge problem with both…as the whole gay community. It would be great if this would be considered here ☺️♥️

You want these fuckers to pay attention then hit them where it hurts most - their pocket! STOP PAYING IMMEDIATELY! I mean you're paying for service you hardly get - your words, so who's the dumb one here?

As a person who pays for this app I should not have to weed through people who weren't on this app when I purchased it. There are straight couples, Trans and those looking for Trans. There are people that don't even identify as gay or bi on this app. Most profiles aren't complete. They don't put themselves in a tribe to remove them from your list. Tribes usually wipes out most of the people near me because profiles aren't complete. Lumpimg us all into 1 category is stupid. Especially when you limit the profiles viewable and have multiple tears of memberships. For anyone who pays for this we shouldn't have to put up with this. I pay for this and it's wrong for my list to be filled up with so many profiles I just don't care to see. We are not a one site fits all. It is just wrong.

Trans girls should have a field in their profile that says weather they're pre op or post op. Also people should be able to set what gender they are attracted to so they'll be shown only those genders and only those what are attracted by your gender

I no I wasted alot if time looking for a man and have some very disrespectful responses

This is such a smart idea.

As a gay dating app, Grindr offers free trans filter for straight people using the app however we don’t even get position filter (top/bottom) for free. Please offer more options or make trans filter same as others that’s unfair!

Seperate Tribe for Straight people who can be approached by trans people. Straight people select trans tribe and then they are in the search as well which makes it even harder to find trans people and defeats the purpose of having a trans tribe. Also on the other hand trans people can search for straight people without any hassle. Hope the developers of this app understand the pain straight people have to go through in order to find trans folks.

In the city where I live, there are A LOT of straight men creating profiles on grindr because they are looking for trans woman. Then, here, it is very usual to read on some profiles: "NO MEN PLEASE"... Which I find a bit sad considering that grindr is firstly a gay dating app...

There seriously needs to be an optional means of filtering out the Transgendered, the female and the non-gays.

This is primarily a gay dating site but that is not the point. The majority of use are males who are looking for males but that too is not the point.

The point is not quite that in bygone years virtually all of those using Grindr were gay male but now a very high percentage are in either varying degrees of non-gay or non-male mode, but that we are limited to only being able to view the nearest 100 or 600 profiles with the result that those who are not strictly gay are crowding out significant proportions of our entitlement. Being able to filter out those who are not man-to-man would right this anomaly without affect the Trans or their fanciers.

yes i agree

@AJ Ghettoizing transfolk? Really? I find it interesting that a lot of the guys who prefer transfolk will make a point to say no men or no masc men on a site that caters to men meeting men. Clearly, there is a desire for space for these specific audiences where we can be who we are without judgement.

Nope. Why are you advocating for the essential ghettoizing of transfolk?

Trans/fem/queer women are obviously welcome in any queer space but I’m grid is just full of “str8” guys looking for trans girls saying awful shit about gay guys on their profile. I don’t come to Grindr to deal with toxic straight people. Over recent years seems like Grindr isn’t for gay men anymore. Just closeted men and t girls

@eventide Kick back it’s just Grindr no one is coming to destroy your life, also Well you should be able to use able to use straight dating sites, I don’t think there’s any sort of site that says we can’t right? trans should be allowed on ours as well and not made separately. if they choose to go to a separate dating app that is more aimed at their minority group (which they’re already are in existence) then that’s fine but if they choose to come back or stay on ours (which A lot of them already have) then we should not bother them or even bring this up anymore it’s it’s kind of tacky and pretty awful. I have tinder also and nobody ever gets mad that I’m on there I like to swipe right two Do you know what I’m saying.

YES please remove trans. Have them in their own app... even the men that search for trans get mixed up with the gay men. It is a complete mess. Please just get rid of it.

Transphobic ? Lmao gtfoh . Yall deff think way too much of yourself

@Eventide wait wait wait...did I say something about you "not-being-attracted" to me as a trans person ?? I'm talking about you wanting trans people to be in a separate section or directly out of this app! I don't need you to be attracted to me, okay? LMAO There are a lot of users who are attracted to trans ppl and there's a lot of social interactions and connections in this app that involve the trans community, so that is not the discussion at all.

If you haven't noticed yet, in this app you can explicitly define your identity, your orientation and your specific tastes, so if you are not into trans people JUST DON'T LOOK FOR TRANS PEOPLE and that's it. But do not limit the decisions of others to talk and meet trans people and vice versa. That's transphobic af, don't matter what you say to deny this fact.

The official site says: "Grindr is the largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people".. "Grindr for Equality works toward a world that is safe, just, and inclusive for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities".
if you don't get this then you are the one who should find the right app for you.

@rpipy bby It's not "transphobic" to not be attracted to someone. Like if you're a male to female trans, I am not attracted to you whatsoever.. that doesn't mean I can't be friends with you or any other trans person.

The fact you see "transphobic" in everything just shows your own state of mind honestly. It's the same for people that think a race filter is racism. What you're sexually attracted to doesn't mean you're suddenly racist, sexist, etc. By your very definition of "transphobic" that means a straight man is sexist because he only likes women sexually, or a gay man is sexist for only liking men sexually. You don't get to just throw around these words and act like they apply.
