Butterfly Transgender Dating 17+

I remember using this app when it was first announced n that time i ended up deleting it because its extremely restricted. I understand why but it’s not worth getting to know anyone if you aren't allowed to speak from your heart while building your profile. I was hopping the fixed that. Its a huge no for me. I am Intersex/ Trans fem and Asexual Neutral. It is a nightmare for a person like me to find a partner in these apps. I found someone of the same spectrum n i cannot even talk to them cuz of a pay wall. I find it insulting that i cannot modify my own profile either. It literally feels very cold n controlling how they present u. I feel like I'm just another steak in the market. I would rather stay in grndr. They don’t force u to pay for chats n you are free to do with your profile as u please with minor restrictions. Yes theres a crap ton of a holes n rude men there but it doesn’t limit me from what’s important. No pay wall for communication.,whats the point of this trans space if we aren’t allowed to talk to each other?

Make chat accessible without a pay wall n i would give it a better chance. Otherwise don’t bother trying to make a “safe space” without communication it’s counterproductive. It takes more than looks for me to be attracted to another person. Without the one thing that matters to me more than flesh? Why would i waste money on vip if its not really catered to people like me?

Sorry you didn't like the app. Butterfly is a small app and small team and we need a paywall to stay in business. We cannot offer the app for free. We have restricted profiles to reduce abuse but you can write whatever you wish in your intro message which is shared with others. Once you connect you can also share whatever you wish. Butterfly has some great members and I always try to help the members. All the best, David - Founder Butterfly Dating.

I have left a couple notes for the developer and been pleasantly surprised by the courtesy of their response and also their clear interest in making this more than just another application, but a service for the transgender community. It’s a relatively new app and there are a little things left to be worked out, like the tape is a bit small and it is not extremely well organized just yet but the developer is very active and always looking for guidance on what we would like to see happen with the application! He certainly don’t get that in many places on the App Store! Usually you get canned responses to the most common complaints and the problems never seem to get worked on. This is the other side of the spectrum. Although the program is relatively new I’ve had good contact with the number of the members and I’ve made friends. That’s what I was looking for, so for me this has delivered!😊 it’s growing and going through growing pains but with somebody so dedicated to make this work and it being such a great service to the transgender community I encourage you to be part of the journey.

Thank you for the feedback. Membership is growing day on day and we are back in a new product development cycle so new features will be coming soon.

I wanted to enjoy this app but it’s just not there. I live in SoCal and even in this populous area, everyone is tens of miles, if not hundreds of miles, away from me which just isn’t realistic for dating. Not to mention the scarcity. I was active on here for two weeks sending messages and giving likes before anyone even got back to me. I have only heard from 3 actual people in over a month on the app.
Lastly, a majority of whom I encountered were cis het male “trans chasers.” I was asked why I don’t have “girl pics” even tho I’m a trans guy, and “what kind of trans I am” by numerous people. I know the creators can’t control persay who is on here and what are saying, but this wasn’t really a safe space to connect with people in my community.

We still need to gain more members and we work hard to promote Butterfly. We are growing faster than ever. If you find people you do not wish to communicate with then please use the block tool > not my type. We will try to work on more general filtering tools to help make things simpler. With close to 40 gender types it is not as easy as a cis only app.
