I didn't add the picture, but it's a dude with a full beard and there are other pictures with his shirt off and clearly no chest scars that would indicate that it's a trans man. Also Her doesn't allow you to block people you're not interested in, no, they have to have some good reason why you don't want to see this person, like if they're underage, or threatening self harm. It's to stop people from excluding people from their dating pool, I think?

Has everyone just entirely forgotten what dating is?

As if that would stop lesbians from only dating actual women. I wonder if other dating sites are going to do the same in the future. Tinder doesn't allow to filter out trans people anymore so I wouldn't be surprised if they removed the option to block them.

I never understood the point of that. A lot if ‘dating’ apps (and I do use that term loosely) now don’t let you filter people by race or ethnicity, as if someone who is only interested in black women or white guys or whatever is going to stop and think ‘Maybe I was wrong?’

Moreover, some of them give priority to matches of a different race. The super-rich have a class interest in promoting miscegenation, and in bringing more confused, rootless, raceless, alienated individuals into the world - the idea being that these people will be better consumers.
