Made for trans dating
My Transgender Secret
Online since 2022, with nearly 15,000 members, more than 1,800 of whom signed up as trans or crossdressing. Most members are men, and most live in the UK, the USA, Canada and Australia. It runs in any browser, so there is nothing to download, and you can save it to your phone's home screen. You go by a username, only your nearest town is shown, and paying for VIP will not put the site name on your statement. There is a free ID check (blue tick) and a live video check with a moderator too. Best for trans women and crossdressers who enjoy being admired, and for the admirers who want to meet them. See what members get.
Butterfly
A trans-first dating app that, in its own words, is for transgender people and everyone open to dating them, and says every member is open to dating trans people. Photos are optional and need not show your face, locations are approximate, and private messages delete themselves after 30 days. It has a website and an iPhone app, with some messages included to start and a paid VIP plan. It is a small community, so it suits people who put a trans-first space ahead of numbers.
TransDate
An adult website for meeting trans women, upfront about hookups, webcams, blogs and chat rooms. Its homepage names no company behind it, and when we followed its join links on 13 October 2026 they took us to AdultFriendFinder's own join page, so the account you make sits there. See how we compare with TransDate.

Pick the one that fits you
Who do you want to meet? If it is trans women, crossdressers or their admirers, a site made for trans dating saves you sorting through everyone else. If you are a trans man dating men, Grindr's size may suit you; if you date women, try HER.
How private do you need to be? If you are not out, check whether a service shows your real name or exact location, puts its icon on your phone, or names itself on your bank statement.
Where does your account live? Look for ID checks you can see on profiles, and a sign-up that keeps you on the service you chose.
You can always use two: Tinder or Grindr for reach, and a trans dating site for focus. New to all this? Start with how to meet trans women or whether My Transgender Secret is legit.
