I only use this app when i travel now, just to see and feel if the vibe and problems are the same of my town. Last month i go to other state and city and is the same sh*t but more less cause depending of the region. I'd like to say again, TRANS people are NEVER the problem, they are part of the comunity. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE STR8 PEOPLE, COUPLES, AND MAN WHO EVEN NEVER LIKE OTHER MAN who think they can enter on the app and do all that kind of disgusting behavior and even prejudice, not only with us gay man, but with trans girls and trans man too. GRINDR IS SO LONG NOT A SAFE PLACE TO US TO BE WITH, and things get worse in a country like mine. I lost the count that i saw on tv journals and be noticed by my friends of cases of murders and stole cause of the insecurity of this app, here we even have a nickname for grindr "the yellow danger" just because of that. I said it once, but i like to remember that i noticed 2 times on grind one str8 man profile that was sending requests to me and another members, proposing sex for money, and when i refuse to chat with him he said many disgusting AND CRIMINAL things to me that in the finish i printed all the conversation and send e report to the app, but the big absurdity was that 2 weeks later he was still on the app, one friend of mine even show me his profile online. And like many here said, ITS NOT A M2M app anymore, we see so much more people that HAVE NOTHING TO DO with on that, like pink money freeloaders, scorts, even f*ck swinger couples, than literally gay man. I prefer for my own security and peace to hang out and find a guy be myself.

Get them off or I will go else where

Don’t be fooled. Grindr isn’t about the lgbtqia+ community as a whole. Just take a look at Grindrs website.

They say this, “Grindr has grown into the largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people.”

What happened to the lesbians? I thought Grindr was inclusive of all? Nope. They left the lesbians alone, now they need to give the gay and bi men back their space and leave us alone.

Grindr can easily create a separate space for trans people and those who admire them. Along with anyone else who’s gender-bending or confused or identifying as something that most of the time they can’t even explain what it means but it’s the hot term going around in women’s study classes right now.

Im sure it’s just as annoying for a trans person to see a grid of people they aren’t interested in or who aren’t interested in them as it is a gay guy.

There isn’t a gender filter, you can’t filter out females who identify as men. You can include them as a tribe but not filter out which is frankly homophobic.

There is literally a gender filter for this reason. I'm not interested in trans women so i didn't tik it. Haven't seen a trans woman in mt suggestions since.

Grindr is just evolving with the lgbtq community. You're just too pissed off to find a filter function.

Agree with ESE 100%

The app is for gay MEN if you do not identify as a gay or bi man then you should not be allowed to use the app. It poses significant risk to those who do not wish to be “outed” or harassed by members of the trans community. I have nothing but love for them but this needs to be addressed ASAP!

I love the diversity but most of us have been, and are, there for other gay men... there are also many homophobic str8 guys (on a gay site) who only want trans...there should be a completely different tab or room or site (whatever you want to call) for different groups or allow for us to filter that out. We know you have to make corporate earning but this mixing is not great. Also, it's not cool when the site is now 50-70% fake profiles, escorts, women/trans/str8 guys, scammers and guys on meth. If you guys keep letting this happen, your brand is dead.

One of solutions could be: just add in profile obligatory info Female looking for female , men for men , or
trans for trans, or something like that and just add filter. Reject is simple,
but this is my suggestion to try respect everyone's.

@Christian Wilkie

It was started as a Gay and Bi-Sexual men only site so men could find men for sex. Obviously not profitable enough for the current business owners IMHO, and has led to mission-creep to an extent that it's now laughable when you consider it's original core mission, which is what I guess the vast majority of it's users still use it for.

The sooner it returns to it's core values, the better AFAIC.

@ChristianWilkie

The Problem is that nobody actually knows what a gay man is. All these stupid letters are divisive. You can be queer (I still have no idea what that is?) and gender fluid (that is a misnomer). Is a Trans Woman who's attracted to women a lesbian? It's not about equality anymore.

I don't feel part of a community - that's been destroyed with the God-awful flags popping up trying to represent someone called Geoff and his wife, Desmond.

"You have to be a member" when you can't get into certain 'gay' pubs or clubs because your face doesn't fit... Meanwhile a wail of Sirens scream past you on a hen night.

Its not The Village any more. It's the Freak Show Mile' where tourists come to see 7' tall drag queens, men in leather, Those wearing D&G while devoid of personality.

I'm a gay man. I'm not confused or have any desire to look at, women, meet or see men who look like women or men looking for a cock in a frock.

The site needs to be for gay and bisexual men looking for men. Gay men are few and far between and numbers are dwindling because the site doesn't know what it's for or why it's there.

This is not a gay men's site. It's for all lgbtqi+ individuals great to see after we got our rights the stupid infighting has already gotten this bad

Yes, bi men are welcome, but when they're looking for men! They can go on the straight apps when they want to look for a girl. No need to turn our stomachs with tits and piss flaps, thankyou very much.

Makes as much sense as a lesbian app allowing men on.

from the very beginning grindr has been an app for bi folks as well.

This is so important. Women have so many other websites and dating apps where they dominate. There is no reason for them to be on a website for men who are interested in men.

I think the point has been missed I as a Bi Man who enjoys chatting on sites like(grindr) am not wanting to guess about there sex I'm looking for Bi men,gay Men not women who are now men or ibtw

Can gay males just have our own space please? Nothing against transmen I just don’t want to be tapped or contacted by them as I am amar sex attracted and it’s never gonna work!

Wayne Davis but that's where you forgot the central point of the discussion, this is a GAY AND LGBT RELATIONSHIP app non-heterosexual and without this thing about people from the liberal swing scene wanting to look for and annoy those who don't like this scene, just like they themselves persecute and report our profiles on other apps, especially those of trans women, now they come here and still think they have the right to want something, give their opinion and give moral lessons and talk about "hypocrisy and misogyny" hehe spare us. Contrary to what you straight people think, you are not the owners of the world, you never were in fact, you just imposed it for a long time and apparently you still want to impose the shitty social norm that you created to normalize and label and dominate everything, just like patriarchy. Go back to your "little holy churches" this is the GAY GHETTO, you know?!! that you yourselves threw us into just to segregate us. Who is a hypocrite now?

I disagree grindr should allow them. Maybe even add a Femdomme option. For not really attracted to guys. But love me trans woman and dom females and will bottom for them all day.

Trans females are females. And even men who identify as queer enjoy “female” company. Otherwise, as a trans man, I wouldn’t have so many cis men in my dms verbally assaulting me in hopes to treat me like a woman
