What Taimi does well
Taimi set out as an app for gay men in 2017 and was rebuilt for the whole LGBTQ+ community from 2020. Today it pitches itself to people of all genders and sexualities looking for friendship or meaningful connections, with matching that takes gender identity and sexuality into account. It mixes dating with chat and social features: an AI dating assistant that can like profiles and send first messages for you, filters for specific identities, and screenshot blocking on profiles to help keep members from being outed.
If you are a trans person who wants to be part of the wider queer world, meet friends as well as dates, and use an app on your phone, Taimi has a lot going for it.
Where the two differ
Taimi spreads its welcome across every part of the LGBTQ+ community, so trans women are one group among many. That is the nature of a broad app, not a fault in it.
My Transgender Secret narrows the focus. It is made for one meeting point: trans women and crossdressers, and the people who admire them. More than 1,800 members signed up as trans or crossdressing, and most members are men. Profile interests such as transwoman, en femme, full time, stealth and TS-friendly tell you a lot before you say hello.
It is private by design, too. You can use it in a browser without installing anything, your nearest town stands in for your location, and VIP billing keeps the site name off your statement. There is a free ID check (blue tick), and a live video check with a moderator if you would rather not use documents. See what members get.
When Taimi may suit you better
If you are as interested in friendship and the wider LGBTQ+ community as in dating, or you are a trans person who dates women or non-binary people, Taimi's breadth is a real plus. You can always use both. If you want to be among trans women, crossdressers and admirers, try us; and if you are weighing up the mainstream too, see how we compare with Tinder.
