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.

PLEASE CREATE A TRANSGENDER ONLY APP FOR THE TRANSGENDERED AND THE TRANS LOVERS SO THAT GRINDR CAN BE FOR GUYS WHO ARE LOOKING/INTERESTED IN GUYS PLEEEEEEASE!!! YOU DEFINITELY HAVE AN AUDIENCE AND MORE THAN ENOUGH MEMBERS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!
No offense to the Transgender Community, but it’s becoming a nuisance that each time I click on a hot guy’s profile who I find interesting becomes an INSTANT LET-DOWN because they state that they are looking for TRANS ONLY!! Their profile usually contains a discriminatory clause like "NO GUYS OR MASCULINE MEN YOU WILL BE BLOCKED IF YOU’RE NOT TRANS!!"
It’s getting worse by the day!! Again no offense to the Trans community and Trans Lovers.

A Guy Seeking A Guy -

For the love.... please hurry up and add a trans filter. There are SOOOO many on Grindr now. No offense... but that’s something that should be an option to see. Grindr is for gay men.

Just create a separate App for trans and trans-lovers. I’m sure they would appreciate the space.

I support trans rights. But I object to trans and gay being lumped together. This app is for MEN seeking MEN. Can we keep it that way? Create a dedicated app for mtf and another for ftm who are seeking fun or love. Thanks. PS, I’m aware this will be an unpopular opinion.

The whole point of being gay is not wanting to engage erotically with women. Having trans women in the app denies the the gender identity of the the trans women by considering her still “one of the guys”, and robs gay men of having a space of their own to express their sexuality without feeling shamed or excluded.
Trans also bring with them a culture of hyper polarized gender binary which leads ultimately to Objectification and Prostitution. I am gay because it is more cultured and evolved than the primitive male-female gender paradigm. It’s beautiful. And free. Trans folk bring with them a mysoginistic culture of high heels, escorts, and unrealistic ideals of beauty- reinforcing unhealthy attitudes towards women in society. Which I frankly as a gay man, want no part in. -

Yes, Please! I really hate my grid being more "women" and trans and str8 guys looking for them than ACTUAL GAY GUYS!
I can't block them fast enough! -
Carlos P. commented
Agreed! I block so many "women" and trans on my grid that I run out of blocks!
Make an app specifically for Trans and those who love them! -

You guys should create a separate app for TS/CD and guys who love them. I’m paying for a subscription that barely has men on it. I’m tired of blocking guys into trannies only. It’s extremely exhausting and annoying. I’m paying for an app that doesn’t even cater to my needs.

Or perhaps just add a profile field for sexuality? Then people can just filter out straight men. this seems like a no-brainer and something that grindr will inevitably do as more and more straight men get comfortable with the idea that it's ok to be straight and into transwomen (which it is).

Some days I see more straight guys looking for trans women on Grindr than gay men looking for gay men. Please section off the app - Grindr Trans.

This would be great. I don't understand why trans people use Grindr in the way they do. As I understood it, someone who is transitioning, would want to be kown by the gender they feel they really are? So a ftm who is gay, (as in likes guys) makes sense for him to use Grindr. However, a mtf who likes guys should be considered as straight, so they should use Tinder.
Simply, I'm a gay guy. A **********. Which to me means that I am sexually attracted to other guys. I have no interest whatsoever in women or females. I'm not even attracted to guys who I feel are feminine personality wise.
Its just frustrating as well as probably a little bit painful to those mtf who hit me up when I block them because I'm sure they take it the wrong way. I'm blocking because I don't like girls. If you're really transitioning be who you are. If you're just pretending to transition to sleep with insecure straight guys, do that elsewhere. (I think pretending just makes you a crossdresser, which again has to do with females, and not guys) -

Buy an island and go there alone with a bunch of red necks republicans. We have enough discrimination from straight homofobic bigots, so we don’t need gay guys like yiu also joining them. You don’t like other people than gay, then you are a gaynazy

No hate on the trans community here. I have multiple trans friends. In recent times it appears they've all but taken over the app in my area. Even when I drove to other cities it seemed to be the case. How about an entirely separate app for trans seekers and trans people to have? "Straight guys" have come out of the woodwork to look for trans women, and it most certainly wouldn't bother me except now it's starting to look like they're dominating the entirety of my city. You could even charge a premium (XTRA) for these types.

Future update request.
I’m very trans supportive and positive, but I’m still a dude who dates dudes. As with other sites/apps I’d like an option to select “men for men” or “seeking” men (including trans men). I do not want to discriminate, but I also don’t want to see women / trans women when I’m searching for guys.
Hopefully that’s a fair statement to make?
Or perhaps in my search criteria I can narrow the field as I narrow with other things (seeking bottoms, height / weight, etc.). I’d be happy to screen in or out my preferences for males via search. Thanks and let me know if there is an update planned to address this!
Lastly, the same options would be available to all — so if trans women are speaking men, or any combination thereof it can match them up.

The app is supposed to be fo guys looking for guys and there is a limited number of users viewable around me at any given time. This pool of users is blocked by the same tired spam profiles (same photos horizontally stretched out or druggy and looking like they were dragged out of bed at 4 AM and having a light shone in their face). This space is also blocked by countless trans/women profiles (who knows) but the vast majority are explicitly looking for money, gifts, donations for photos and various services. This garbage is a TOS and choking out real users.
