An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment This app was created with the intention of being used by gay MALES. When did this concept change? Why do we now have women of various types, OVERPOPULATING the app? I'm not saying they should be banned, but I still don't want to see or be contacted by women at any time while using an APP FOR GAY MEN.
That said, GRINDR no longer feels like a safe space for GAY MALES. If they no longer wish to SUPPORT the gay MALE community, they need to stop wasting our time, and just say so!
This is not an *inclusivity* issue. This is not a phobia issue.
This is a discrimination issue. Grindr seems to be punishing males for not being attracted women or trans. EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT TO SEXUAL ATTRACTION PREFERENCES, WITHOUT BEING DISCRIMINATED FOR THEM!! I am in no way required to be attracted to women, or former women. I do not want to be subjected to their presence on an app ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR GAY MALES! It works like this: "let me browse and see who's around, huh absolutely no I'm attracted to, these all look very feminine and I am not attracted to females, okay back to scruff." They need their own safe space.
Personally, everyone needs to stop messing around with the dumb lgbtqialmnop crap. It's getting rather absurd with the ever increasing letter additions. If we are going to blanket label everyone who isn't straight under one banner, then call it the non-straight community, instant "inclusivity" for everyone.
So odd, I added a link to this thread on my Grindr account, and someone on the admin team altered the link to break it... Hmmm.... >:-(

An error occurred while saving the comment This app was in fact started as an app for gay males, with no consideration for other demographics. However, Grindr has gotten money hungry and is now willing to open up the user base. They are hiding behind the idea of inclusivity, and are now actively punishing the original user base that allowed their app to flourish in the first place.
If you make any comments in your profile, that you are attracted to only males, your account will be flagged as breaking community standards. If you make any comments in your profile, that you are unwilling to communicate with anyone who isn't male, your account will be flagged as breaking community standards.
Basically as a gay male, if I try to connect with nothing but gay men, Grindr will flag me as breaking community standards.
I'm sorry, I'm a part of the gay male community, I am not a part of the trans or female communities. Given the fact that the purpose of this app, is really just to find sex (don't be a prude, don't beat around the bush) , it absolutely makes no sense for these two communities to be forced to blend. This isn't the place for that, this is one of the few places where segregation is okay.
Just because the world at Large is opening up to trans, doesn't mean that we are going to start seeing trans men in public male locker rooms. Planet fitness isn't going to suddenly allow it. It's within the same logic, that this isn't the place to blend the locker room...

I'm just going to call it, Grindr has completely refocused its efforts on a different community.
They no longer wish to be affiliated with the gay male community.
Grindr has gone FEM, and actively pushes away users that aren't interested in female or trans. They think they can harass and punish users who explicitly state in their profiles they are not interested in fem or trans, as if we are making a transphobic statement, by saying we are not sexually attracted to members of those communities. From my personal experience: I had a simple line on my profile, stating "I am a biological male who is attracted only to other biological males", to which I received a warning saying I had violated community standards, and they edited my profile to remove it.
Grindr is no long a safe or fun space for masculine men who are attracted to other masculine men.
The lack of responses from devs, on any of these posts on their new features website, proves that they don't really care about the community at all. I feel like this grinder feature suggestion thing, is just a sham so they can say look we're doing something... While they completely ignore it, behind their closed doors
It is sad to see them abandon the community that actively built them!
They just need to relabel their app as "grindHer"
