These are the news of the Tinder update
There are fewer and fewer barriers in the dating app Tinder for all types of people. And it seems that the company has understood that there is a world beyond men and women, whether they are heterosexuals or homosexuals (sexual orientation has nothing to do with gender identity), so they have decided to turn the tables. Finally, and after the problems that occurred in which profiles of transgender people were blocked due to complaints from other users who felt cheated, the application is now more inclusive thanks to a greater number of gender representations
To date, it was only possible to choose two gender options when creating a profile on Tinder, something that greatly limited the options to the trans people who are in the process of change, or even to the groups that do not identify themselves in any of these labels. Man and woman were the only options From now on the range widens significantly, trying to include more people, both newcomers to the application, as well as those who were rejected by the different problems that this simplistic operation has created.
Now, any user can choose the More option when creating a profile. This appears next to the genders masculine and feminine, and allows access to a search engine where you can type the most convenient option for each person.The search engine works with quick suggestions, so the process only involves typing a few letters of the search term to find different options Of course, another option available inTinder is to to completely hide this information, and it is to openly affirm the gender with which identifies a person on Tinder is completely optional Something that offers the most options for everyone people.
This is a measure that is not surprising First of all, because it is something that an application current should have been taken into account a long time ago. Secondly, because his own CEO or Executive Director, Sean Rad, has already confirmed to be working in this role a few months ago. And it is that gender identity has been a real headache in United States for months due to the voices that asked that transgender people not to urinate in the same toilets as people identified as male or female.In addition, we must add the expulsions of users due to complaints from other people who did not identify those with the gender of their Tinder profile
Tinder's work in this regard has gone on for more months than expected. And it is expected to solve this problem at the end of summer. However, as its CEO has confirmed to various media outlets, the more they delved into the subject, the more difficulties they found to create a respectful and inclusive environment in its application And it is that Tinder bets on what is quick and simple. Now, they have achieved a much more respectful and open application for all users.
Of course, at the moment this function is only available in United States, United Kingdom and Canada Users in those countries will need to download the latest update available from Google Play Store and App Store for free It is to be hoped that this feature will not take too long to spread to the rest of the world, although there are no confirmed dates.
