It excludes males, regardless of how they identify. It's literally the exact opposite of discrimination against being trans. Being trans plays literally 0 part in why they are excluded.

Turns out they don't really want equality after all, they want special treatment because they are trans. Trans activists regularly confuse supremacy for equality it seems.

The funny thing is, that Sal Grover decided to set up a social connection app for women after a number of dangerous encounters with men, including some she had come in contact with through Craigslist. But while she wanted a safe online space for women, she was initially insistent on transwomen being allowed on Giggle. Some of the people working on setting it up were of the opinion that if she wanted to set up a women's space it should be for biological women but Sal was still completely of the TWAW opinion. She was working on ways to allow transwomen join after the AI would reject them but that wasn't good enough. TRA groups went after her, doxxed her, made her life a misery and she realised that they were behaving in the exact same way that the men who's behaviour made her want to set up Giggle in the first place were. She is just another case of a trans-ally actually having to deal with the overall trans community and becoming GC because of their behaviour.

Most people are on their side until they try to interact with them in some way. It's the exact opposite of the way they present it and the opposite of the gay rights movement. We all started out as gross, immoral, sinning, deviants and we very slowly made people realize their preconceptions were wrong.

With TRAs people piggybacked their positive sentiments from gay acceptance and started off with positive perceptions and the interactions with that community are spinning people 180 degrees.

There is definitely a TRA to GC pipeline.

I hope she sues their ass for defamation or something. I'm so sick of penisnews.

“Sex and gender aren’t the same!!1!”

“suggesting she considered trans women to be males”

Well, which is it?

Wow, an app designed to exclude males doesn’t allow trans women… they have to be willfully obtuse to not get the point. Seven years ago, you’d be mocked to suicide fro saying you don’t know what biological sex is, no you can say that in just about any publication in the world and get praised…

They are being intentionally misleading. They replace words where convenient.

"Sex & gender are not the same thing. How does a single SEX space exclude transGENDER people? Stop conflating sex & gender. Educate yourself. A transgender person is someone whose gender & sex are mismatched, therefore a trans-woman's sex is male" – use their language against them. Their "sex vs. gender" BS will always massively backfire.

Grindr even accepts "straight" men (bi-curious & gynandromorphophiles) though too, as well as "trans-womxyn". Why don't they mention all the inconvenient identities that use Grindr?

You know though, I do not like the technology involved though.
