Honestly, in my own experience with online dating, trans women haven't been a bother at all. It's been hetero couples that have saturated the dating pool where I live. Very few trans women. But I don't suppose that's just the main purpose of a lesbian/"cis" women only app, it's also about weeding out the women deep in queer theory who would call you a genital fetishist for not being into "girldick"

With all that said, it's funny to me that they say TERFs are so offended at seeing one trans woman on a dating app, yet the one dating app that doesn't include trans people they have an issue with. What about the 99% that do include trans people? Kinda hypocritical.

With the exception of Lex, which may as well be trans-only, couples have been way worse than transwomen on apps for me. It's bizarre to me they don't have their own app.

The majority of transwomen I see mention it in their profile, though I have seen a few trying to be tricky and I come across a lot of profiles that have nothing but heavily filtered pics and I'm not sure if they're trans or insecure. And since transwomen are allowed, I don't begrudge them using the platform to find a date, I just wish I was allowed to say I'm looking for a cis woman who accepts her birth sex.

That said, it would be nice to have an app where I'm not paranoid about being accused of being a bigot or matching with someone trying to stealth date women or just simply won't make me feel depressed after swiping left on a bunch of dudes. If they mean what they say about not trying to force anyone to date them, what does it matter?

I'm pretty sure there are apps for couples looking for a third but they just want to shit up apps for lesbians and be creepy.

Yeah I guess a threesome app would likely just be full of other couples and maybe male thirds, better to just clog up Tinder and hope to find someone lonely and desperate, I guess.
