You do realize we are trying to treat the cause. Men are like bloodhounds, they will sniff out a trail and follow it. So if men know there are women, those who identify as women, those with the anatomy of a woman but identify as a man, or those who want to dress up as women while physically being a man on grindr the men will come on grindr. If there are no trans female profiles then there would be no profiles seeking only trans females. It’s the same as you wouldn’t go to a grocery store to buy a tv because you know it’s not available there. Do you follow the logic?

Interesting thought you have there mostly because of how flawed it is. Just because someone is transsexual does not mean they are gay. A trans-man is someone born a female that wants to become a man. That means there is a good chance a trans-man does not have a penis but in fact has a vagina. Since they were born a woman they would not suck a dick like a gay man but like a straight woman they may take it in the ass or the vagina, flip side if they don’t have a penis they cannot top. Even if the trans-man has completed all the surgeries that changes the anatomy but does very little to the physiology. Meaning they may have a penis but they cannot get a natural erections or have an ejaculation in the same way someone born as a man can.

Grindr has a “Trans” tribe that you can identify as and filter by. I find it hard to believe they would ban members of a group that they created a tribe for, members of a group that they have advertisements from. Grindr does all users to report others for fake profiles, harassment, hate speech, trying to sell things, underage users, underage pictures, open discussion about illegal activity. So did you identify as a gay male top when you do not have a penis and so you are not physically equipped to top? If you did that would be a fake profile, similar to someone identifying as a runner who is paralyzed from the waste down. How can someone identify as someone who performs an action that they are not physically capable of performing?
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedThere are adds on grindr specifically targeting trans people. That is why grindr will ignore any comments or concerns about limiting grindr to gay men. Money talks and bullsh*t walks. It’s like politics, unless your giving them money they don’t care what you think.
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedI feel like labeling people and putting them in groups has been a political tool used in the past. Oh that’s right Nazi Germany, the Spanish Inquisition, the crusades, England under Bloody Mary, segregation, Salem witch trials, the United States civil war, currently in the Middle East and China. Most people believe that everyone has the right to be themselves, but they don’t have the right to invade the space of others. You have the right to practice your religion but you do not have the right to go into some else’s religious building and practice your religion there. Depending inclusion is disrespecting the people Grindr was created for. If you identify as a woman, regardless of your chromosomes are xx, xy, xxy, xxx, xxxy or anything else Grindr was created for gay men, not straight women why do you even want to be on it? The simple fact is if you don’t have the full male anatomy and physiology, meaning it functions including erection and ejaculation you are not physically qualified for certain gay sex acts. It’s not about who you are but what you can do.

Grindr is listed as a gay dating and chat app. There is a bear, twink, daddy, otter filter and yet there is no lesbian or bi or female or queer or mother or non-binary, or third gender or furry or any other label people have tried to create. The filters listed under tribes are directed solo at men like daddy or generic like geek, there are no labels that would only apply to women. So now that we have established Grindr is for guys, the question arises about trans. Well if we are being honest surgery can recreate anatomy but not physiology. How can someone identify as a top when no amount of viagra is going to give them an erection? Surgery can recreate the appearance of a penis but cannot recreate that function which is necessary for sex. Grindr was created as a safe space for gay men who seem to be more likely the victims of hate crimes than lesbians. The Mathew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crime Prevention Act is one of the first and only federal laws to protect the rights of anyone in the LGBT community and that part of the law was because of a hate crime against a gay man. Mathew Shepard was killed after Ellen DeGeneres openly came out on tv and then she was given her own talk show. Friends had a lesbian couple on for years before Mathew Shepard was killed. So there is a difference lesbians were being accepted by mainstream media even getting their own tv shows while gay men were still being killed for being gay.

Shall we discuss the tv channel WE (women’s entertainment), Victoria Secret, the all female clubs, all female schools and colleges, the nonprofits that are only for females like the ones devoted to ovarian cancer, or the flyers I used to see at the hospital for abused women and children (up to 10 years old) at age 11 if you have a penis they no longer care about you. Shall we add in Women’s studies college majors, I believe there was a women’s interest or however they had it labeled in the book store last time I was in and the magazines targeted at women. Yet somehow wanting an app for gay men to meet gay men is considered discriminatory, how ironic

Pot calling the kettle black. Step one before responding read what was written. I said: “sexual intercourse” and yet you responded with comments about “sexual orientation”. It’s apples and oranges. I just watched a documentary about heterosexual men, as they identify, engaging in homosexual sexual intercourse for a job. They are self identifying straight men working in gay porn, some enjoy the physical sensations of the sex but are not attracted to men. That is why I specifically said gay sexual intercourse. If a straight couple uses a strap on it’s not gay sexual intercourse because it is still sexual intercourse between opposite sexes. If you go to the hospital do you ask for sources or do you accept that they have a degree (even though you never see it)? If you want I can pull out the science and medical textbooks and the DSM because I have them, a requirement of the degrees. Merriam-Webster’s Medical Dictionary defines homosexuality as erotic activity with another of the same sex. Sex is defined as either of the two major forms of individuals that occur in many species and that are distinguished respectively as male or female. Pansexual is not listed. Asexual is lacking sex or functional sexual organs. Transsexual is a long one that comes down to identifying as the opposite sex and undergoing treatment including hormone and surgery to achieve the physical appearance of the desired sex, which implies that one does not go halfway and then stop because then they would still have the physical appearance of their birth sex and desired sex.
Where are your sources? Not that I’m expecting to get an answer to it, because you’re a troll.

You seem to be mistaken trans-women don’t have a penis that is why they are women. Generally individuals go through counseling to ensure that if they start the process of transitioning from one sex to another they will complete the process with all the surgeries. Stopping partway through is indicative of a psychological problem, by current medical psychological standards. Scientific and medical definitions would say an individual with secondary sexual characteristics of both sexes would be a hermaphrodite not a man. Considering gay sexual intercourse is defined as intercourse between two people of the same sex, if one person has secondary sexual characteristics of a female and the other has secondary sexual characteristics of a male then it’s not gay sex.
The question for you is if you are only interested in women why would you join an app that is for men who are interested in men? If you like women why would you join an app that only has men on it?

I have asked that question of trans people themselves. If you identify as a female and are attracted to men then you are not gay, you are actually straight. I have never received an answer as to why trans people are grouped with gay people, other than the comment of gay guys are very feminine, and then look at me and say well most and lesbians are masculine. That is why trans are grouped with gays because of the stereotype that gay guys are very feminine.
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedI 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.
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedI 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.

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.

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?
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedNoraseth Hemvech that seems to be common sense and that is why it doesn’t happen, because common sense is not common and nobody uses it. My understanding is that trans people want to be viewed by how they identify and grindr is an app for gay guys so if you regardless of xx, xy, xxy, xyy, xxyy or whatever your chromosomes are I am not sure why you are on the app. It gets even more complicated when they identify as a man but refuse to have the bottom surgery as it is called. I though grindr was an app for those with penises who like others with penises no vagina included.
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedCavanaugh Quick wow you really missed the point. Last time I checked a guy attracted to women and a woman attracted to guys are straight. If we are suppose to identify people not by their birth sex or chromosome but by how they identify then why are there women looking for guys who want to have sex with women and guys looking for women to have sex with on an app created for gay guys, guys who want to have sex with other guys? Grindr could take away the tags of female, grindr could let people report profiles for having postings like m/f couple looking no guy on guy action. I have received messages from a profile like that, I blocked them and then received another message from a profile that looked exactly the same the next day. I am assuming one profile was the wife, what is a straight married cis woman doing on app for gay guys?
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commented7celo, I’m not a quitter I try to improve things and fix problems when I see them not just say f it and walk away. Plus grindr or apps like it are the only way to meet gay guys where I live. Although I have bumped into a couple trans individuals at the gas station
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedDaddy Dentata hate to break the news to you but LA is one city. Most of the world is nothing like LA. I probably have more property than you and pay less in taxes, although living in LA you probably do not own property but rent part of a building and call it an apartment. How many miles do the profiles go till you hit the xtra that you have to pay for? Closest profile to me right now is 4 miles away, Just because my experience is different than yours does not make it bullshit, it makes your post bullshit.
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedⵔⵢⴰⵏ ⴰⵣⴰⵢⴽⵓ you are wrong and you are missing the point. I have had user looking for trans or women message me, I do not know why nothing about my profile says I am trans. Also I do not want women messaging me because I am gay and so I am not interested in women. Also a couple days ago I had a male and female couple message me looking for another guy to have sex with his wife, no male on male action. Why is a straight woman on what is suppose to be a gay app looking to have sex with men? There are a lot of user based problems and grindr blocks them for being underage or fake profiles. Ignorance is a choice.

I cannot answer your question because I’ve never seen that. To the contrary I’ve have had gay guys say they will never date me because I drink whiskey, watch horror movies and listen to rock music. I’ve met gay guys that want a top boyfriend that listens to Madonna, Cher or whatever pop singer they’re into, watched shows about trans and romantic comedies and drinks sugar filled martinis. Why are so many of the fems and trans so hateful of the gays who aren’t a walking stereotype?

An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedI referenced Mathew Shepherd because that case gained a lot of media and led to laws being changed. Two men were convicted of his murder. The theories as to why range from drug deal gone wrong, to hate crime, to secrete ex-lover. I believe there were two Craigslist killers both straight men killing women. The bigger point was a lot of serial killers target prostitutes or perceived prostitutes some documentaries simple say serial killers target individuals engaged in risk behavior or those on the edges of society. My point being there is always a risk in meeting someone off a webpage or app and considering Grindr allows individuals convicted of sex crimes on the app who’s to say there aren’t worse people on the app. The one profile that messages me had a picture of a person convicted of a sex crime against a minor as part of the profile. So in that case I am speaking from experience.
An error occurred while saving the comment Cody commentedBrian Anderson,
Let’s discuss hate, and how you are coming on here specifically to attack people. Let’s discuss the fact that you use the phrase “gay community” as if the gay population is a monolith and exists separate from normal society. Let’s discuss the fact that gay bashing is still something some people do. Let’s discuss how more than one serial killer used Craigslist to find victims. The more you allow straight men who say they are seeking trans or couples the more likely you are to have someone that is going to kill someone. The Mathew Sheperd story one theory is two straight guys picked him up for some fun or told him that’s what they wanted and then tortured and beat him to death. The more you allow straight men on grindr the more likely you are allowing that story to repeat itself. There is a big difference between hate and concern for my safety. I don’t think Grindr should allow users with a history of sexual offenses but Grindr allows those as well. The fact that you jumped in to bash what you call “the gay community” would indicate that it is you who are hateful and the problem.

IKnowIts Pretty,
I’d rather get over another guy which is why I have grindr. Although that is getting increasingly hard since grindr is full of women and straight men. That’s the point of this thread grindr is cutting out the group is was created to serve.
