Grindr should develop another app for these people. It would be lucrative for them and we won't have to deal with "straight" men looking for "trans only" and trans trying to find straight men.

I agree! I am trans/gay/bi meaning I dress like a girl and looking for mostly other trans girls or into similar to me and I wish I had my own site to go to but I don't. My profile is clearly written as to what I am looking for and what I am not. I get constantly hounded by ALL MEN gay bi straight, no difference, pretty much all of you do the same f#$king thing. My incoming messages from gay men (not Trans like I specify in my profile) are ususally as follows; Suck me. *insert pathetic dick pic. (Or even better) Come over. *insert, similar to the last, pathetic dick pic. It seems most are illiterate and have zero communication skills.

Andrea that's a recent addition added by woke madness. Same with that abusive Q word that gay men have been fighting against being called for decades. Ever heard the saying if it's not broken dont fix it that's exactly what grindr team has done since being taken over by woke st8 people who just want to make money over providing a good app I'm sick of these discusting women flashing there tits and ass all over the app they need removing from what used to be a good app these women are truly abusive and vile they expect me as a gay man to meet them for sex eventhough they are missing the correct sexual organs to be able to top as many of them say they are tops they need removing from the app there's a separate for trans and trans admirers I'm not saying the name as I dont want to be accused of advertising a 3rd party app or website but it begins with a T and ends I and almost sounds cute so why they feel the need to infest a gay app and start sending abusive messages to gay men for being gay is beyond me

Grinders description literally has Trans, Gay, and Queer. It's meant to be inclusive.

I find that I am blocking all of the undesireable pictures of the oppisite sex. As Gay MAN the Naked Body of a FEMALE is a complete Turn Off. Why should we have to be subjected to that gross stuff. I would not watch a Straight or Bi Porn Movie. I think those members are for the BIi sexual guys anyways,

To each his own though. Put the proper filters in. Grindr needs to Spend the Money and have the programmers fix the problem. Iam sureitis easy with afew Modifcations. Let the user decide what they wantto see.

Grindr needs to listen to its PAID Memebers
My sister use to say Pick aTeam and Play for it.

Lets clean up the Drugs including 420 clean it up.
Male Escorts should have to pay to advertize
Massage Therapists should have to pay for to Advertize

The curent issue of females . Let everyone be on the site, but install filters so that we as Gay Men don't have to look at "Trashy female pictures that aren't real.

Grind has the ability to clean up the App. they choose to turn a blind eye

Lets get rid of PnP and all of its deritives

In reply to Joseph Schmoseph,

No idea if you’ve had the chance to read around the many and many posts on this blog. If not you’ll discover the blocking problem on grinder. They have limited blocking and have not, to this day, added appropriate filters. So those that don’t want to see or be seen by real women or “female types” are getting angry. Add to that problem the profiles that don’t properly fill in all the info either on purpose or by laziness which makes the current filters practically useless.

So all members are choked with profiles they are not attracted to. Live in a big city makes it far worse. When I was in Los Angeles I was over taken by trans, females and women that I was not attracted to and surely not interested in. Some were painfully aggressive and insulting. Then there are their suitors, even worse!

Blocking and filters…would be a start. Force profiles to have key info entered would definitely help the filters.

If not, a separate app is needed.
Still if not…Grindr be gone soon

While I support having an app *just* like Grindr but more heavily geared towards LGBTQ+ and inclusivity, maybe some of those that are complaining should be more proactive with blocking those that they are disinterested in and not engaging.

I do question, bc I have only encountered 1 cisfemale in my area, not including couples, how many of the ciswomen gay men encounter are just trolls? How many are extremest that create profiles and harass gay men? I literally don't know, just a thought. Maybe a verification symbol or something would reduce harassment, but that would change the simplicity of the app and the core of what I like about the app.

Yet again today I've been belittled and called derogatory terms for not wanting to meet a woman on grindr who claims to identify as a man get these women off app asap I've stopped paying for extra and wont pay again until i can access my account without abuse for being a gay man who is into men

If grinder is allowing women and Trans 9. The site then are very least grinder needs to set FREE fees and tags so that men only find what interested in.

I am torn.

I am a Grindr user who enjoys the functionality of the app over it's competitors, but prefers trans/feminine individuals.

I don't mind sifting through all the users, trans individuals are few and far between in my area, but it is frustrating and I feel bad rejecting those that make the effort to reach out to me.

What I dislike about this feedback, there are transphobic gay men on Grindr that attack me for not being into men while on Grindr. I assumed Grindr was inclusive to all LGBTQ+ people's, not just gay men.

You claim that Trans should somehow be treated "differently" because currently the Trans is mixed in with gay men. I happen to be straight but I do like the male anatomy on occasion. My preferred genre would be Trans. My point being this is a site catering to biological males no matter what you yourself would consider your sexuality. Furthermore how is it the responsibility of the grinder creators to *create a separate app?" That's like saying Amazon should create a separate app to allow you to place bids on items rather than set prices only. It's not grindr you should be focusing on. Maybe consider creating an app that only caters to the Trans community.

This sentiment is incorrect, as Grindr is an app for LGBTQ folks. As can be identified by a fairly simple inquiry, a bit of research to say it plainly, just in case. Moreover, a sense of inclusivity within the community at large is necessarily important, especially since even "dudes who like Dudes" are under fire, particularly legislatively. Additionally one's narrow mindedness with regard to who "dudes" are into is not a legitimate contribution to the issue of an expensive community having a platform of it's own. Finally, the use of such terms as "tranny" is simply disrespectful! To have it uttered from one or anyone within the LGBTQ+ community is incredibly insensitive and disheartening. Not to mention the absurdity of it's intended insult. How does the presence of a collection of people on an app invade or interrupt your search? Is it not likened to a "dude" you're not interested in?Scroll on and keep it moving. Hate is not cool and does nothing but harm you and the intended target, how is that helpful?

Amen. I’m sick of seeing “women” on an app that’s designed for dudes who like dudes. Enough tranny BS

I think the comment above is on point. To tag on and take the conversation a bit deeper, I th8nk it is important to note that, purely my own opinion through observation, experience and reflection, but the label lgbtqia (despite it's honorable attempt) does not encompass the diversity. It attempts to hold. With that said the trans community contains in itself myriad relational categories. Also, for the safety of many trans folk, to have a dedicated app with trans specific features that bolster safety and a sense of safety. Such as a panic button, some sort of repository of shady individuals where girls, particularly can have a heads up. I know this would be tricky, but it's doable. And safety is paramountfor trans girls right now.

Don't understand why Grindr does this. Completely support this.
