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.

Here's the deal idiots. Grindr is M4M. Which doesn't apply to Trans women. Unless you pay for the premium account you have limited access to a certain amount of users. If the trans community had their own section / grindr app it would clearly benefit both parties. Grindr would obviously advertise this change which would attract trans users as well as those who are looking to date or meet trans users.

Ok sis tell them boys we just want to voice our Dam needs on this app since it’s not only embraces but advertises for trans queer fem people I think the app they are all talking about is scruff now that’s a app you won’t see any sis on unless...(gross visual) eh anyway I am all for the app Trans Grindr app to be developed all the same features just no silly mad gay boys crying we’re eating up space on the grid cuz they fucked every one around them already oh and for unlimited users should be able to ask for a donation If they are inclined to do so

This isn’t Facebook. It’s a fetish app.

I really hate this idea. I already hate that chasers use the 'trans' tribe to seek out trans people. This would only encourage chasers to think its okay to fetishize(?) trans people.

This is not transphobic. There are plenty of apps for women to find men. Apps that are free and designed for straight people allow you to filter by men seeking men. Not Grindr though. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

You only give ten blocks a day! I’m a GAY MAN and don’t want the Trans or Str8 Guys in here. You don’t give enough blocks for that to happen. Sad part I’m about to make my own app with the owner of Squadron. I block as least 1-2 bots for the same thing it’s just getting old!!

I, too, am trans. The only reason I suggested it was for convenience. That way I wouldn’t have to go through thousands of profiles to find someone that is interested in a trans woman. My suggestion wasn’t meant to put us in a box, but rather, manage my time better by not having to go through profiles, contact the person, wait for a reply only to find out they are not interested in my gender. So,GUR I don’t understand why you would say I am transphobic, as I stated I am trans. AND, I would like the option to filter out men that are not interested in girls like me. Relax! It was just a time management suggestion.

This is beyond transphobic. I’m sure you see plenty of men on Grindr that you aren’t attracted to but you’re not bitching about them.

Putting us as a tribe is degrading because they think that being trans is degrading; you wouldn’t like feeling like you are the cheaper of the bunch. Segregation isn’t right either but if a masculine male wants a masculine male and can feed the feed to his specific needs; EVERYONE should atone that right; it shouldn’t be a double standard and that is why it isn’t a fair option to me. Just my two cents.

That’s the problem with online communities, everyone wants to segregate away from the main group and eventually everyone will sit in a box alone...

Or at least specify in the search criteria, trans man and trans women separately. Not only as a "tribe".

This is not discriminating at all. If I'm a gay male and am into gay men, why do I want a platform that was originally designed and built specifically for me to be filled with people that I have no sexual attraction towards. It hinders MY OWN sexual exploration and expression/needs. Yet again women, straights, and others are and have invaded our own cherished place - happened to the gay bars and made shit awkward and uncomfortable for us, now here too. When will it end.
I think you'd find that most of us are staunch allies for the existence and expression of Trans people even bi people or questioning people. They're just not in our dating pool and definitely gumming-up the works. If it doesn't have a penis and isn't born as a male and staying one it's not a gay man and is IN OUR WAY on the warpath.
So, really, skip the pearl clutching, give us back our own spaces.

This is the most discriminating thing I've ever read. Trans people are just as human as straight bi or gay people. they don't need to be singled out.

I know you’ve removed the ethnicity search filter due to the current conditions in the world but members should be allowed to search for men only. Your site is littered with women or those trying to become women. Create a new site exclusively for that non male demographic so Grindr can return to a M4M site.

I fully support the trans community but I have no sexual interest in them. There really should be a separate area where they and those attracted to them can connect. I joined Grindr because I am a man who is interested in other men and lately it seems all I am doing is blocking members who present as female and those who are searching for them…I love our trans community members, but I don’t want to be intimate with them…

Yeah, this influx of trans followed by trans admirers, then straight guys saying no men, followed by even women is detrimental and disruptive towards gay men's own search for compatible matches in our own application's grid. Grindr was built by and FOR patently men who have sex with men. This invasion, similar to our gay bars, disrupts the vibe, is awkward for us, and reduces the chance of us finding eachother. I'm all for trans people existing and their admirers too but you this is not a big melting pot and never should have been. Grindr is a GAY MALE APP WRITTEN AND BUILT BY GAY MEN FOR GAY MEN. It is not for straights, not for trans, not for inclusivity, not for intersectionalism, not for academia, it's for gay sex and if it continues not to be - gay men will write a better app for themselves exclusively with as many filters as disrupts pearl clenchers as humanly possible.

The need for inclusivity is much needed now in the LGBTQA+ community. Let’s not isolate the trans men and trans women. They are part of this community whether you like it or not. Let’s show respect and warmth to each other. It’s not that hard really,

There used to be a trans filter, but it has been removed.
