I'm an MTF trans woman, and I found Grindr to be the only functional and safe environment to find potential partners.

There are several other apps intended only for trans people and those who admire us, but in none of them we can chat without paying a subscription. we are literally forced to pay to have the right to at least talk in them. That's why I was happy when Grindr decided to be more inclusive and I intend to continue using it. This is also the reason why the number of users has also been increasing, as part of the population discovers Grindr as the best option to get to know each other.

However, profile control is still very necessary, since we cannot define our preferences with precision, which means that we are suggested profiles that we are not interested in and also makes our profiles appear to gay men who are looking for by boys.

Please allow us to filter our preferences and also who we can appear to. I think it is important that there is inclusion for all audiences. We need to have the options to define our gender identities and sexual orientation, as well as detail these characteristics of the people we are looking for, including whether they are single or couples.

To conclude, in addition to defining who we are looking for, we must also define who our profiles should be presented to to avoid embarrassment.
