You don’t have to fear for your own safety, so you can be as open as you want. To spare yourself hard feelings, you can either sign up for platforms that have a “trans” filter - this way, you will not face people who mind this type of relationship - or go for websites that help trans daters connect with each other.

Lack of acceptanceĪlthough hookup apps like Tinder have become considerably more inclusive, you are not safe from people’s personal biases and prejudices. If you choose mainstream free hookup apps instead of a trans-only platform, these are the challenges to embrace and deal with. Unfortunately, it’s common for cis-people on dating apps to have a major phobia of trans daters - so much that my trans friends aren’t sure whether they should specify their nature in the bio.
