Trans
Not transphobic but there has to be a fine line between gays looking for gays and guys looking for fem/trans. It seems more than half of the profiles I look at are looking for trans only, and this is very annoying being gay... A new app, or strong filters are necessary. Please don't make me stop using my favorite app due to such a silly reason

I am trans and I find Grindr a safer space to find guys who are into us. I don’t harrass or initiate contact with guys because I know most of you are gay and only into gay, I let those into us initiate the contact. I believe we can co-exist, the filter section should be refined by the ap developer to avoid annoyance by the majority of gay users.
There are other apps out there for trans and so far I find Grindr is still the best and safe. Tindr is a no go because it’s not for lgbt.
That’s all

I find it surprising that it seems so many men on grindr are coming out saying they are gay men who are attracted to men, who look and represent as men and there is not a grey area in that attraction. Yet grindr operates as if their base customers/users are not made uncomfortable by women - those born as women, those who identify as women or those who present as women and at what point do they realize they are making the group the app was created to help uncomfortable and even isolating them. They are losing those the app was created to assist.

I’m all for respecting others, however I’m a gay man attracted to men. So that’s what I expect to see on an app for gay men. I’m not into women or men that dress like women or transgender women. The female form isn’t my thing.
Create a “Grindr Fem” app for that.
Trans men I’m not into either, but at least they’re men at this point. -

I feel like allowing straight women on defeats the purpose of having a space for gay men. A safe space for gay men to meet other gay men. If we define a woman as anyone who has secondary sexual characteristics of female or identifies as a female and who is attracted to men. If you do not have the secondary sexual characteristics of a male you will not be be able to engage in some of the activities I enjoy.
Let’s just drop the lie of “you’ll never be able to tell.” I work in customer service while in college. One customer made a comment to a regular about trans politics or something. The regular said oh I’m trans … The other customer said yeah I figured. My one employee said I always thought there was something odd about him. My response was yeah I knew that from the first time I saw him. Yet somehow some seem to think I won’t notice that fact while we are up close and naked.

I saw a profile for a straight cis woman on grindr. I guess the thought is if you’re going to allow straight trans women on grindr you should allow straight cis women on grindr. How about you grow up and realize that just as much as I can support equal rights for women without be romantically or sexually interested in them and so I don’t want to see their profiles on any relevant app I can also support trans rights without being romantically or sexually interested in them and so I don’t want to see their profiles either. Respect is a two way street, if you give me my space I’ll give you your space, that’s all I’m asking for.

I had my two accounts blocked for saying that very same comment to a staff member wasn't even an argument with another paying customer it was with staff about that very same thing and they banned me twice told me I was transphobic

I find this inclusion also opens up the app to guys with just a bunch of creepy fetishes. I've seen a guy looking for an older man and a dog for his gf. I'm looking for a relationship and not really interested in a nymphomaniac, porn addict network. Better filters and mandatory information like "sex" (not gender) and what "sex" you are into would solve this.

Kinda annoying to view tbh, not to be mean but I’m gay and only into guys, but all I’ve been seeing is men dressed and trans men like not what I’m expecting to see, especially since I’m paying for the unlimited. Kinda annoying that everytime I block them they reappear the next day like wtf

Add a reverse filter. So users can determine who they want to be seen by..? Especially: don't show me to users without a photo

My advice is: if you can’t beat them, join them! I recently set-up a profile as a gay male on the transgender dating siteTranslr a while ago. At first the moderators gave me a lot of hassle and wanted me off the site but they refused to say why out of concern for being seen as discriminatory against an LGBT person who just happens to identify as cis male (get over it man haters!). Anyway it’s a great way to get dick, it’s a very untapped market. More gay men should join it.

S Kelly Smith,
It’s interesting how you want to point out that trans are part of the LGBTQ+ community but you made no mention of lesbians. Did you forget the L that begins the LGBTQ+? If you truly want to be nondiscriminatory then you should be advocating for allowing straight people on Grindr too. Don’t act like you don’t discriminate when you do it’s just against different groups. There is a word for people like you, it’s hypocrite.

by the way trans is part of the lgbt community. you are ignorant and I bet you had your ass beat by some tranny's I know when they see what you type will do it again

S Kelly Smith commented
you don't want people to judge or discriminate you well what makes you the decided person to decide who can use this app and can't most of the people who are looking to be with a trans isn't interested in you anyway. your no better than straight people not wanting anything to do with you because you are gay. grow up if you can't get a man it's ot they trans people's fault

If you are an advocate for all the LGBTQ+, because you forgot the P and the NB and I’m sure there are others, why aren’t you arguing that lesbians should be on grindr. Lesbians would be the L in that string of letters. If you’re going to allow straight women, because trans women attracted to men are straight women. Why would grindr allow straight men, gay men, bi men and straight women but not lesbians?

You kind is hit the point of everyone needs to be respected. To that end grindr was created for gay men to meet other gay men, those who identify as women should respect that the majority of grindr users have no interest in a sexual relationship with women. So why would the be on grindr?

Requiring people to fill out EVERY blank of a profile OR NOT BE ABLE TO USE GRINDR, and make picking one or a certain number of items in certain categories would help filter out profiles one isn't interested in and help cut down on fake profiles, stalking, etc. It also might be helpful to have Tags for the what describes the user and another for what/who they are seeking would eliminate confusion on what Tags apply to whom (i.e. a Bear Leather Daddy describes the person and he seeks a Trans Femme Twink).
Because I believe NONE of us can truly be free, accepted, and respected until we ALL do the same for other groups/individuals and their rights, I am an advocate for ALL groups... regardleas of whether LGBTQIA, sexuality, sexual identity, race, age, gender, size, type, etc. HOWEVER, I too feel like I spend more time wading through profiles I DON'T have interest in than I do finding ones that am interested in. I do feel lately that Trans profiles dominate the profiles here in Grindr, and often these profiles don't have anything filled out in their profiles, so requiring the above would help eliminate this issue.
