I just provably passed for the first time since starting my transition. Got a match on Taimi and after an initial compliment (apparently I have a nice smile 🥹) I got a “you aren’t a woman?!?” “I am a woman, but I’m trans”. <unmatched>. I’m not a fan of the passing culture, but it still felt damn good.
They actually just changed this. I have been on Taimi for a year as an unpaid member and I could see things like gender, location, actual profiile info and such and as of last week all that info is now hidden…
But I am not even entirely sure that it only applies to unpaid members because I had a gold membership for a week and that info stopped showing up about three days before the gold membership ended and two days before I cancelled the membership.
I want to like Taimi more but god damn they are pricey just to see basic ass info about each other.
And for what it’s worth, yes, you absolutely are a woman, and would be even if you didn’t “pass.” I am glad however that it helped boost your self confidence.
Finally… If you’re entirely straight and on Taimi what the fuck are you even doin (not you-you, but the guy who had the audacity to say something as stupid as “you’re not a woman”)? I’m only “straight” in the sense that I am attracted to women and transwomen are women so you get the idea.
If that change is permanent, I’m leaving. Platinum is way too expensive and gold just became completely worthless.
They’re going to lose a lot of customers on this.
Do you have any suggestions for a Taimi replacement? I tried Hinge but nobody is on it in my area except “non-political” Christians and it makes me want to die. On the plus side unlike Taimi, Hinge actually has a “gynesexual” option for sexual preferences.
I’ve had more luck on Hinge than on Taimi, but that may be a regional thing. I’m on greed too, but that is about as dead as it gets. I paid for six months right off the bat without even checking the app too closely first. Mistake. Also, greed is such a bad name.
I’m on “Her” too, but I’ve drifted more towards guys lately so I’m not using it much.
