'Getting the match may be easy, but what follows is unlike anything my cisgender girlfriends experience.' - imcoreyrae
Every month, I write a column for StyleCaster. For two months straight, I’ve dedicated my columns to discussing the same topic: my experience using dating apps as a trans woman. Last month, I wrote about what I’ve learned after using dating apps for years—and why I ultimately decided to delete them all. I’ve found that, since embarking on this dating app hiatus, I’ve developed a truer sense of self.
These steps were promising, and I see why companies would view these measures as important for the LGBTQ+ community. However, sexuality is different than gender; while these actions clearly help the LGBQ in LGBTQ+, I’m not sure they protect trans and non-binary people. I don’t deny that dating apps can work—in fact, this is what’s made me to try them time and time again, even after the frustration I’ve experienced. For cis, hetero people, dating apps can be an incredibly effective way to find a perfect match. For cis, homosexual people, the landscape seems increasingly friendly—with apps like Grindr and Her, and with new features on apps like Tinder.

The basic, mundane conversations were too familiar—as were the swift un-matches, once men discovered my real identity.
