That's not the way I remember it. If you care to take it any further, feel free to quote and explain.

is this also not rape?

I don't even know what you're talking about honestly. I'm trying to explain why the dating app is likely positioning themselves in this manner, and explaining why it makes sense for them to do so. Not that I agree with it.

You sat in here and whined, literally whined that you weren't being read and people weren't taking the time to read and understand your position. Well.... you got a lot of attention for something that quite honestly, you still don't understand.

Complain to the app company.

In a normal context I would just swipe left on a trans person. I spent .1 second dealing with that issue. So what is the issue here that has you making 25 posts on the topic?

dude, you keep shifting goal posts and using absurd nonsense

you and uke were literally putting incorrect information out there - to which i took the time to explain why it was wrong

how is that whining but not what you did whining?

you're not posting in good faith here at all

No it is not, and he specifically addressed how and why. Openly identifying as trans still does not filter you out of the searches of people who will never be interested in you, and it is not easily noticed on your profile.

Therefore time may still be wasted before that comes out, or even (arguably) worse, trans people will get a lot of matches which soon disappear.

If you don't understand or deny anything here please specifically object or admit that you were wrong again. Thanks.

Sure, they may prefer to use the general app. But I disagree that using the general app would be the "simplist thing" which is what you claimed.

And I didn't mean they should use a gay app. They should use an app for trans people and those who want to meet trans people.

Jesus... I genuinely can't understand why this is hard to grasp.

IF A TRANS MAN PUTS IN THEIR PROFILE THAT THEY ARE A BIOLOGICAL WOMAN, someone like rick, who says they only want to be matched w/ biological women, will be matched w/ a TRANS MAN.

The ONLY way this can be fixed is if they have someone who manually approves every profile on the site, or there's some AI that can 100% spot an adams apple. Outside of that... you're just going to have to swipe left and move on if you spot a trans person.

You're claiming something else, that the app itself says it doesn't do... and quite honestly, I think they probably have this filtering (because they say they do), you and Rick and whomever else, just aren't understanding the above.

I never once shifted goalposts. But if that's how you want to end the conversation, I'm good with that.

24 of those posts were refuting 24 other posts putting out intentionally wrong information saying that wasn't the case

absolutely incredulous


rick: it's a strange design that on dating apps i can exclude people by everything but whether they have a penis
fd:no you can, i just googled it
rick: yes it does, you're mistaken, here's screenshots to prove it
fd: well i found i page talking about gender identity
rick: yes you did, but that's unrelated to what we were discussing
uke: problem solved, they have a page on gender identity
cordi: isn't rick an incel anyway?
uke/fd/coordi: why is rick throwing a hissy fit about this?

again, you're larping about something to people who are in the trenches and know how it works about something you've never experienced

you are wrong, that's not how it works

Wow, just wow.

NO THAT IS NOT THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD FIX IT!

And you're either still misunderstanding, but I can't imagine how you could be that dense, or you are deliberately lying.

PEOPLE ALREADY HAVE THE OPTION TO IDENTIFY AS TRANS. ALL THAT WOULD BE NEEDED TO FIX THE SITUATION WOULD BE A TOGGLE SWITCH FOR USERS STATING WHETHER OR NOT THEY WISH TO BE MATCHED WITH TRANS PEOPLE.

It's like you guys don't even know anything about computers, apps, websites, or any basic computer programs. I don't every remember several people claiming not to understand something so basic that has been explained over and over again.

This is just getting ridiculous. Ok let's rephrase to "trivially solves the claimed problem from rickroll but for rare instances where someone doesn't look at the profile that labels them as trans".

Remember, this is a guy who tried to just claim I support rape because of my stance about app settings. So if you want to nitpick around the margins about BS like not noticing the declaration on the profile, maybe you should start with some bigger fish first.

wow... you went from arguing that something which doesn't exist does indeed exists, even doubled down on that after being given evidence and having people carefully and politely explain to you the nature of why you were mistaken, and then when you gave up on that quixotic quest, you still had to be right so instead of being the bigger person and agreeing that you were mistaken or at least having the decency to just drop the subject, you decide to then switch over to personal attacks

it is mind boggling considering this is how it started

that's an incredible reality distortion field you got there if you actually believe you haven't shifted any goal posts to go from that above to this

just wild stuff

Do you just suck at reading comprehension?

Again, from the site:
You can also select the gender of the people you’d like to match with on Bumble Date. When joining Bumble, if you’re using Date mode, you’ll be taken to a screen asking you who you’d like to date. You can choose from men, women, nonbinary people, a selection of two options, or everyone on the app.

What I've been saying FROM THE START, is I'm betting that some (and I don't want to get into the weeds why this is), trans gender men specify their sex as a biological woman. That's why you're seeing it in your feed.

Otherwise... again, for the umpteenth time, contact the dating app. Because they are CLAIMING something different from what you are saying. So either it's a bug... or... and this really is the point, and why this absurd conversation has gone on this long...

... it's an evil liberal conspiracy to get straight men like you to become attracted to trans men, and convert you.... (da da da)... to love dick!

Can't believe I participated in this at all. I honestly feel dirty... and I'm out.

Not falling for it bro... I'm a little bit smart. I know what you're doing. You can continue to claim things that didn't happen (without explaining what those things are), and say them over and over... you're just projecting at this point because you have nothing to really say, and now you're turning this ugly and unproductive. I genuinely think you're just attention seeking... and again, you got what you want, and I probably unintentionally hit a trigger, so there's nowhere to go from here.

I assure you guys that transgender people are not the reason you can't find dates.

this has been repeatedly explained to you politely

you're also about to be canceled from your own side of the aisle for not understanding that non binary does not mean trans and that it is wrong to say "trans gender men specify their sex as a biological woman" the correct phrase is transgender female here

i think you honestly just don't understand the terminology and that's why you're so confused

furthermore, you're confusion over terms aside, you're still wrong

if a transfemale chooses the female option and doesn't even try to identify as a biological woman but chooses trans woman


they will go into the feed of all men looking for women

so you're wrong, and despite repeated attempts to explain to you these things, you keep on insisting that you know more about it from something you've literally never used and then when when we take the time to politely and thoroughly explain why you're incorrect and where that confusion came from you just resort to personal attacks

it's just really sad and pathetic man, not at all disappointed to hear you will be seeing your way out of the thread if this is how you interact with people

stay classy

Not as much as you do.

We may disagree about what the simplest solution is.

Not by any means rare.

Funny how someone who has likely never used a dating app thinks he knows about how rare and easy things are.

And nice non sequitur about another user saying you support rape.

It is definitely getting ridiculous how you and your cohort can't just admit you were wrong about something. Not even idealogical, just about the way apps work.

Dude, he's getting trans WOMEN in his feed, not trans men. This has been stated from the beginning.



There is no bug. This is exactly what the company wants, and exactly how it is explained on their website, as posted here by either you or another of your dense buddies.

Chillrob, did you figure out what those facts were that allowed you to conclude Lia Thomas transitioned in order to compete against woman in order to have a better swimming win/loss record?

In the UK, it's a criminal offence to obtain or seek to obtain sex by deception, which includes deceiving the other person as to what sex you actually are. Trans activists (who are not usually trans themselves) keep trying to get this law changed, but, as the change they want would have the effect of legalising rape in certain circumstances, it's probably not going to happen.
