Trans Dating UK: Make New Memories with Trans Singles

My Transgender Secret has more than 8,500 members in the UK, over half of everyone on the site. They are spread across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with the biggest groups in Greater London, Greater Manchester and the West Midlands.

From London to the Highlands

Greater London is by far the largest community, with well over a thousand members and the most trans and crossdressing profiles of any region. After London come Greater Manchester and the West Midlands, then Merseyside, Hampshire, Kent, West Yorkshire, Essex and Lancashire, each with more than 200 members. North Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear, Staffordshire and Nottinghamshire each have more than 150.

Scotland's members cluster around Glasgow and the west, with a second group in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife, and smaller ones in Dundee, Aberdeen and the Highlands. In Wales most are in and around Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and the valleys. Northern Ireland's members are mostly in Belfast, Antrim and Down, and our page on trans dating in Ireland covers both sides of the border.

That spread matters, because the best trans dating site is the one with people you could actually meet. Your daily matches already weigh up distance, and VIP members can search by city and distance to see who is within reach this weekend.

Outside the UK, the site also has members in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Good company at every age

Most UK members are men, and the site is made for meeting trans women and crossdressers. The trans and crossdressing members, nearly one in ten UK profiles, are younger on average: in Greater Manchester two thirds of them are under 35, and in London nearly half. UK members as a whole cover every age from 18 up, with the largest group aged 35 to 44 and more than a quarter aged 55 or over.

Say on your profile what you are after, from a regular date to a friend to go out with en femme or something casual, and your daily matches take it into account.

Made for trans dating, kept discreet

My Transgender Secret is made for trans dating, so being trans, crossdressing or into trans women is the starting point here, not something to explain three messages in.

Privacy is built in, too. You join with a username, your profile shows only your nearest town, and when you pay for VIP the site name stays off your statement. To show people you are genuine, add a free ID check (blue tick) to your profile or pass a live video check with a moderator, no documents needed. Read how we keep members safe.

If you are weighing up the options, our guide to trans dating apps sets the main ones side by side, and our comparisons go into Tinder, Grindr, Taimi and TransDate one by one.

Somewhere to go when you hit it off

Most big UK cities have an LGBTQ+ quarter where a trans woman and her date can relax: Soho and Vauxhall in London, Canal Street in Manchester, Hurst Street in Birmingham, the Pride Quarter in Liverpool, Merchant City in Glasgow. Trans Pride events run across the country too, from Trans Pride Scotland, which roves between Scottish towns and cities, to London Trans+ Pride in July. Each city page has local first-date ideas.
