In all seriousness, why are trans people and cross dressers allowed on Grindr?

I dare anybody to try and ban trans people from anywhere in this day and age. They would demand the head of whoever owns Grindr on a silver platter within 3 seconds.

Because they are gay, OP.

Trans women on Grindr has never made any sense to me, but that genie has been out of the bottle for years now and there's no chance of that being reversed.

Grindr does seem to be the app of choice for the guys who have a penchant for wearing lingerie, you're right about that. No idea why that is.

Back in day trans, drag queens and rest of that lot were kept out of many gay bars/clubs unless part of entertainment. Now everything is about "inclusiveness".

R3 they're still gay despite all the role-playing. Either as the "straight" guy who is interested in a "woman" with a schlong or as the "straight woman" who has erections but has never had a menstrual cycle.

R5

That argument didn't work at Splash, The Saint, Uncle Charlies or countless other gay bars or clubs.

Heck one trans I know thought she was safe in Paris, but le Queen wouldn't let her in either.

I don’t mind the cross dressers and MTF trannies so much as the biological women and trans men.

I’m not spending money on Grindr so I have the limited grid view and so many of them take up slots that is gets annoying. It actually prevents from me from seeing the guys I’m on an app for.

I really wish I could say something when they message me. Like, on what earth do you think I’m looking for a woman on this app? It’s so entitled and presumptuous. But god forbid there be any situation where a straight woman isn’t empowered and represented, even if it’s a gay sex app for men.

You're being offensive to the men who think they're women by excluding them from your rant, R7.

My apologies, R8. I also preemptively block the men who look like my high school science teacher in an Amazon Basic tube dress and fire engine red lipstick.

I like to be inclusive.

I have no issue with mtfs - its just they are often 'working' and the 'straight guy for TS/ dont talk to me fags' they attract are annoying. But its the females that enrage me. And they all say shit like 'sub bottom, cumdump fag'. This weird use of our language and spaces to fulfil the most basic of female sexuality; cock in their pussy. There is nothing subversive or unique about what the want, its just that they want 'gay' men to do it to them.

Hate, hate, hate it. And seeing more 'ftm friendly' guys on there. Often older bear types.......weird.

Never understood whey MTF trans want to go after gay men. I mean it isn't as if there is a short supply of men who are into trannies. In fact going by what have seen there are some prime Grade A guys out there who like chicks with dicks.

Ironically good number if not most guys who are into trannies don't want gays. So there you are then. Why fish in polluted waters when one's own pond is well stocked?

If am being honest one believes trans just want a hot and attractive man period. Gay, straight or trannie chaser it doesn't matter, long as overall package fits their agenda.

If looking for a local hook-up then one has to deal with what is on offer I suppose. If pickings are slim on Grinder or whatever of attractive men into trans, hope does spring eternal by going after a gay one.

The porn sites haven't created another category so when you look at gay vids it mixes in a lot of boner reducing videos of guys in wigs. Not being biased I am just saying I shouldn't have to look at that genre when I only want to see guys fucking..

Because Queer, Inc. has included them in everything. Trans people have NOTHING in common with the GLB community except a revenue stream for all the "causes".

NOBODY on Grindr is looking for a gender appropriator suffering from severe dysphoria. Those people are only there to be chaos agents who get off with their gender switcheroo shenanigans.

I was on some site (not Grindr), and a person posted, "hit up my DMs and I'll show you my T-dick". I don't want to see a sewn on fake penis that came out of a damn Play Dough Fun Factory. I'd only be very sad!

The Gender Identity Movement was never about treating people equally, it is a bizarre public performance art project.

R13

XVideos among other porn sites does have a trannie section. That doesn't stop MTF or FTM trans porn from coming up even when selection is clearly set to *gay* however.

It also isn't helping more and more gay porn actors are doing scenes with MTF or FTM trans.

Is it popular though, R16? On some of the gone wild subreddits, these freaks will post photos of their man bodies and pussies and I always flag to report.

I don’t know why sex places dedicated to biological organs has to be another stage for these people to rub their freakshow in our faces.

Just because you’re horribly mentally ill doesn’t mean I should have to be forced to look at your unappealing genitalia. It is not the job of the rest of the world to empower your delusions.

Don't know if those offerings are popular R17, but clearly there must be a market as they do get views.

Trans porn has been popular going back to days of Summer St. Cerly if not before. Today's technology just as with everything else has made things more accessible.

Knew a few trannies back in day who pulled some of the hottest John Blair and other go-go boys from NYC clubs. They also got hot bartenders and security guys who also claimed otherwise they also were "straight".

One of the biggest draws of legendary Suzanne Bartsch parties back in day was it acted like a smorgasbord for certain types of straight guys. They would arrive with their girlfriends but also find gays or trannies to hook-up with later.

IIRC John Blair gave his go-go boys, bartenders etc.. strict marching orders. Girlfriends, trans or anything else remotely resembling female were to be kept at distance while working. Drag queens who often were entertainment couldn't be bothered, so no one took notice I suppose.

It's the Datalounge 2022! All Trans Hate, all the time. Wheeeeeeee!

WE NEED SOME MOTHERFUCKING MURIEL AROUND HERE.

The OP opines in yet another of her Trans Hate threads:

[quote] In all seriousness, why are trans people and cross dressers allowed on Grindr? I was under the impression that Grindr is an app for gay men.

Well it's not for you anyway, OP, so what's it to ya? Are you, as always, deeply and importantly concerned for the chiiiildreeen? It's not for them either.

[quote] In all seriousness, why are straight women and TERFs allowed on Datalounge? I was under the impression that Datalounge was a website for Gay men.

It really does come to local market IMHO.

In large urban cities like NYC, SF, Boston, Miami, etc... trans have a decent enough pool of men interested in chicks with dicks to leave gays alone for most part. OTOH if you're a trans (or gay man for that matter) in some Podunk town or rural area where all sorts of pickings are slim..

Another thing; what's up with all those gay guys posting wearing female under garments?

You’re not supposed to tactfully question anything that goes on there. You’ll be considered “toxic”!

Tactfully question? Like accusing them of genocide and wanting to "erase" all women? I'm shocked-shocked to hear of this!

You mean... most places don't actually allow the Trans Hate you get away with here at the Datalounge? It's so odd, then, that you would abuse our tolerance and go batshit fucking crazy with the Trans Hate all the time here, to the point where you wear out our tolerance and we start yelling WE NEED SOME MOTHERFUCKING MURIEL AROUND HERE.

Because they'll kill themselves if everything and everyone isn't inclusive to their bullshit.

Inability to read the room really.

Trans are, by definition, delusional and self-obsessed. It doesn't matter to them that they're on a gay app. They want to be on that app so they will be and if we don't like it we are bigoted and fascists.

I thought trannies were only, 06% of the population. So few that we should barely notice them. That's what our resident trans-loon troll keeps screeching, anyway. How is it they are infesting all the hookup sites when they barely exist in the real world?

You could complain or you could block them.

Trans = Demented Pervs.

Grindr was supposed to be an app for MEN looking for SEX.

if we go by "transwomen are women" rhetoric, why the FUCK are they on Grindr??

And why are "str8" guys allowed to post "no dudes" when it's against the rules to say "no blacks/asians/femmes/fill in the blank?"

The absolute weirdest are the AGPs looking for other women or trans. It’s like they are doing it on purpose just to be annoying. Instant block!

[quote] Grindr was supposed to be an app for MEN looking for SEX.

r29 r30 OP and all else: You were under the wrong impression that Grindr is an app for gay men or even for men. Google it. It has been for 'lgbtq+ people' for a long time. In a way, those mentally ill non-gay-male intruders (yes they're doing it on purpose; they get euphoric) are in the right place.

[quote]OP and all else: You were under the wrong impression that Grindr is an app for gay men or even for men. NO that's not how it started. It started as an app for GAY MEN. As usual, the TRANS INVADED our GAY SPACES and took over.

As usual, the TERFs have invaded our GAY SPACES and took over.

Anyone who criticizes Democrats = BORIS

Question a policy? Racism, transphobia, etc.

Looks like you've been red-tagged for that post, OP.

When did GRINDR launch, r36 and how many active monthly users does it have?

Did you even read the text in R39? It says it launched in 2009
