Is My Transgender Secret legit? Straight answers
By My Transgender Secret, October 2026
Yes. My Transgender Secret is a real trans dating site, online since 2022, with nearly 15,000 members in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and beyond. It runs on the HubPeople dating platform: any member can take a free ID check (blue tick) or a live video check with a moderator, no documents needed; photos, videos and text are screened as they are uploaded; and support is there around the clock. Classic accounts are limited, and paid plans are clearly priced.
Who runs My Transgender Secret?
My Transgender Secret has been online since 2022, and since March 2025 it has run on HubPeople, a dating platform that powers a family of niche dating sites. HubPeople provides the technology: profiles, matching, messaging, payments, moderation and support. You can read more on our about page.
Are the members real?
Members are people who signed up, made a profile and chose who they want to meet. More than 8,500 live in the UK and more than 2,700 in the USA, with more than 1,600 in Canada, more than 1,100 in Australia and others in New Zealand, Ireland and beyond. Most members are men. More than 1,800 joined as trans or crossdressing, and there are more than 500 women and more than 150 couples.
Checks are what tell real people apart. Any member can earn a blue tick with the free ID check, or take a live video check with a moderator, no documents needed. Photos, videos and text are screened by AI and by people as they are uploaded, suspicious behaviour is flagged, and you get a warning if someone tries to move you to WhatsApp or another outside app, a common scam tactic. If you are cautious, talk mainly to verified members, and never send money to anyone you have met online. Our safety page has the details.
What a Classic account really gets you
This is the one thing that catches people out, so here it is plainly. Every member starts on Classic, and a Classic account lets you build a profile, browse, receive daily matches, send a limited number of messages each day, and read and reply to any VIP member who writes to you. Unlimited messaging, the chat rooms, advanced search filters and seeing who likes you are paid features.
The complaint we hear most is about those Classic limits. That is how the Classic level works, and it is better you know it before you join. If you want to send more messages, a single week of VIP is the cheapest way to try it. Every price is on the prices page.
Discreet billing, and how renewals work
Prices are shown before you pay, and VIP and VIP Plus are sold in 16 currencies, from pounds and euros to US, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars. VIP billing does not show the site name on your statement. Any plan shorter than a year renews at the same price until you cancel, so make a note of the renewal date; twelve-month plans are paid once and simply end. If you have any trouble cancelling or closing your account, our support team is there around the clock by chat and messaging.
Signs of a dating site you can trust
Whichever site you choose, check a few things. Does it say who runs it? Can you verify your identity, and can others? Does it keep you on its own platform when you join, rather than passing you to another site? Are prices shown before you pay? Does it say how renewals work? My Transgender Secret does all of these. Our comparison with TransDate shows why the third question is worth asking.
Straight answers before you join
Is My Transgender Secret a scam?
No. It is a real dating site, online since 2022, with clear prices, a free ID check, moderation and round-the-clock support.
What can I do without VIP?
A Classic account comes with a daily message allowance and can answer VIP members who write first. Unlimited messaging and extra features need VIP or VIP Plus.
Is it safe to use?
Your name and email stay hidden, your location shows only your nearest town, and you can block or report anyone. Take the free ID check and meet in public the first time.
What shows on my bank statement?
Not the site name. VIP is billed discreetly.
Why do I keep hitting a message limit?
Classic accounts can send a limited number of messages a day, though you can read and reply to messages from VIP members. VIP removes the limit.
Can I cancel VIP?
Yes. Plans shorter than a year renew at the same price until you cancel, and twelve-month plans are paid once and end. Our support team can help around the clock by chat and messaging.
