MyTransgenderDate Review

In 2012 French entrepreneur Cyril Mazur created a Facebook community for transgender women and trans oriented men (also called trans attracted). The goal of this community was to provide a decent and safe space for people to discuss topics related to transgender including rights and relationships. This became the first community of its kind, where porn and escorts were strictly banned. Fast forward to 2014 and Cyril Mazur along with his fiancée Maki Gingoyon (a local transgender celebrity in the Philippines) launched MyTransgenderDate.com which followed similar principles of emphasizing sincere dating and promote real loving relationships where trans women are treated with respect.

MyTransgenderDate.com is popular in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia with over 1.2 million profiles created since launch. Currently there are 55,000 active profiles of transgender women and transgender lovers on the service who send about 80,000 messages each day. If you join today you would not be alone since over 600 others have joined the service in the past 24 hours.

It takes just a few minutes to create an account on the service. While the initial signup does not ask for a lot of information you can further edit your profile and add all sorts of information about yourself and the type of person you are looking for. Including more details in your profile along with a written description helps differentiate you from the rest of the members and makes you stand out. Photos are another way to spark interest in your profile. When searching you will notice most members have uploaded at least 5 photos, with some having 20 or more.

Once you have your profile setup you can go ahead and start searching for other members. Just click on Search in the top menu bar and you will be shown a gallery of men or transsexual women that meet your basic match preferences. This can be filtered further if you wish by modifying any of the attributes found in the advanced search section. Most parts of the profile can be searched on.

Any profile you find in the search results you can add to your favorite list for later. Profiles can also be hidden from view if you know that the person is not for you. Once you have a few matches in your favorites list you can then go ahead and message them. Anyone you send a message to can read that message, but only transgender woman and Premium members can send messages. That is right, to attract more transgender women to the dating site, MyTransgenderDate allows them to send messages to any member for free. This means that the transgender women do not need to become a paid member. This is good news for the men who join the service as well since they will know any transgender woman they send a message to, will be able to reply. For men who wish to send messages and enjoy other perks, a premium membership costs as little as $10.90 per month.

Are you a man interested in meeting trans women? Are you a trans woman looking for a safe place to meet men? If you are in one of theses situations, MyTransgenderDate is made for you!

Searching and Matching

MyTransgenderDate offers several different searching options and automated matching.

Matching

Unfortunately for members looking for this feature on the site, MyTransgenderDate does not offer a page that displays your matches. What they do instead is email you daily or weekly summaries of your profile’s activity, as well as possible matches, new and featured profiles. This is a small community where distance between members on average are greater than other mainstream dating services so the reasoning behind not including a Matching page does make sense if it is not going to be used a lot. Plus, the search feature is robust which means you can easily find other members that meet your criteria.

Searching

You have 2 main options for search. On the top menu bar, you can either click on "Online" or "Search".

With the "Online" option it brings you to the quick searches page. On this page you have 3 self explanatory options "Online Members", "New Members", and "It's their birthday today". The results returned on this page are not filtered by any other attribute and include all members in all countries. A link is available on the page which allows you to return the same results over on the "Search" page where you can filter the results further using the advanced search. The "Online" menu item also includes a total count. This count combines the total result numbers from all 3 quick searches.

When you visit the "Search" page this is where you will initially be spending most of your time when you first join MyTransgenderDate. It includes 3 options "Basic Search", "Advanced Search", and "First Name Search". All 3 search types can work off each other. This means I can select some basic search options along with some advanced search options, and if I also want to do a name search, I would click the "Search now" button for this and the results returned are based on all 3 sets of filters (basic, advanced, and name).

Basic search includes your gender (either man or transgender women), your country, last online, and to filter by profiles with photos or not.

Advanced search includes an age range, height range, city, and max distance other members are from your location. You can also multi select filters for most attributes of the profile including relationship status, language, and the type of trans women you are looking for (Pre-op, Post-op, Non-op, and Transvestite). All these options also include a "No preference" option and a "Didn't say" option.

Depending on the device viewing the website, your results will either be returned in a single or double column layout. For each profile summary the main photo will be displayed along with a photo count, first name, age, country, relationship status, and the type of transgender woman they are. Profiles marked with a green "Verified" badge are paid Premium members. Members who have a green dot beside their first name are online now and those marked with a green "New" badge have joined the dating service 7 or less days ago. Clicking on the member name or photo will take you to their full profile. You can also hide profiles by clicking on the X icon, Favorite profiles by clicking on the heart icon, and send the member a message by clicking on the envelope icon.

Other MyTransgenderDate Information

Cyril Mazur the founder of MyTransgenderDate.com first wrote a book about his own experiences on finding love with a transgender woman in 2011. In 2012 he started a Facebook group dedicated to discussing topics related to being trans-gendered. This was a place of respect. He quickly realized that there was no where a transgender woman could go online that was decent and safe to find love. With this in mind, Cyril opens MyLadyboyDate.com in 2013 to serve the countries of Southeast Asia. It was designed as a decent high quality dating service where transgender women are respected (no porn or escorts). In 2014 MyTranssexualDate.com launched following the same principles expect that it serves North American and European singles.

In July of 2021 it was decided that MyTranssexualDate should change its name to MyTransgenderDate. While Transsexual is a valid word it has lost its popularity and may even be deemed offense, especially in North America. So to stay current with the latest trends the name was changed.
