@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.

So these transphobic assholes are the same who overexploit the words #equality #respect #pride #loveislove when it comes to themselves. You hypocrites are the only who need a separate section here. Gay Trans-men exist too.

I agree BUT SEPARATE THE ADMIRERS FROM the trans individuals . Hey

Personally, I think that's what the tribe category is for. But I could also get behind catering the trans community a little more.

it's absolute BULL. no matter if you pay or not, it's not difficult for them to block BOTS yet they continue to irritate their users. I love my trans friends but they need their own app as do "Str8's" oh wait ..they do ! LOL

Hi Aaron,

We don't agree with your recommendation that trans people should get their own app. While Grindr will continue to be an app that caters primarily to gay men, we believe being inclusive is more important than keeping the app only for gay men just because that's how it started.

We understand that everyone on the app wants to be able to more easily find people they are attracted to. We are in the process of re-imagining the tags feature. In the new version, there will be more tags and they will be searchable so that users can better connect. We will also be listening to feedback so that we can add tags in future versions as our users ask for them.

Our community is incredibly diverse and one of the ways we get together is through Grindr. We like it that way!

Look I ain't Discriminsting against Transgender People, But I Strongly Recommend They Get Their Own App. My Issue Is That Straight Men Come on This App Looking For "Trans Only". I thought This was Supposed To be an app For Gay Men Only. You dont See Lesbians on Here, Why Should Trans Be on Here? They need Their Own Seperate App. There's Taini for Multiple People Of The LGBTQ Community, But This App was Meant To Be Striclty For Gay Men Only. That's Changing, So Is The App. I know Theres Filters, But My Issue is That Guys Who Hit My Interest are Only Into Transgender, It Makes it More Difficult For Me To Browse. The Transgender Has To Go, Because They're NOT Gay, Their Trans! lgbTq.

Although They are Part of The LGBTQ Community, No! They Need Their Own App!! This Was Supposed To Be an app Strictly For Gay Men!! My Only Issue Is Guys That Come on Here Looking For "Trans Only"

So scrolling down a bit couple comments from im assuming trans...let me tell you something, no one in these comments are crying about the space you wanna be men are taking up on what has been a man for man app. In fact don't you think you'd benefit from having ur own section. Well section is being nice..na yall need your own app. I don't have a problem with the trans community but what I do have a problem with is. Grindr isn't the same anymore. The fun has been taken out of it mainly bcuz yall are using a M4M platform to come into yourselves. Let's just call a spade a spade just like a trans and their admirers should have their space and men for men should have theirs. We aren't asking for much. We can all respect each other. But from a distance. Hop off lol

Nothing will change or get done here. These forums are a distraction to shut us up. I keep getting these emails but no feature changes on grindr. They fancy themselves some kind of cultural crusader, not a dating app. It’s over. It’s dead. I’m waiting for the next big thing. Hoping someone swoops in and fills the vacuum. Creates something for men into dating men. A rarity now.

I wonder if this can be achieved by implementing the recent suggestion for filter search reciprocity? (https://grindr.uservoice.com/forums/912631-grindr-feedback/suggestions/39832030-profile-reciprocity-users-should-only-get-to-see) Would it be beneficial for trans to be searchable for FREE? And rather than in “tribes”, be found in a section of a person’s profile that isn’t indicative a self designated and subjective type, such as “geek”?

Amen!

I agree completely.
