    What about making different classifications for cis and trans males and females? There are people who are not dating someone trans or who only date trans people.

    Saving them the weird moment of realizing it seems good.

      You’d be better suited just having a user select that they are comfortable dating a trans individual because it will likely come up very early in the dating process anyway.

      Forcing someone to identify as a gender that doesn’t make them comfortable is just going to result in them not using your app and is frankly kind of a dick move overall. Your suggestion would just create an app that was suited for chasers, not trans users.

      Yeah it seems ridiculous this isnt the standard way to do online dating. Many people dont want a trans partner, and many people only want a trans partner. Not being clear and upfront about these things only causes future heartbreak and rejection issues.

        Almost like instead of relying on faulty AI predictions, they can just include that as a bio and search option. No bullshit AI necessary.
