Protecting privacy: disclosure, photos and messages
Discretion concerns more than your own search. Photos, messages and information about someone’s trans identity should remain under their control.
Let the person decide who knows
A person decides whom to tell about their trans identity or personal history. Information appearing in a profile does not mean you should share it with friends, employers or on social media. Avoid connecting it with details that make the person identifiable outside their chosen context.
Do not forward photos or screenshots
A visible profile photo is not an invitation to forward it to groups, upload it again or combine it with private details. The same applies to screenshots of chats and video calls. Ask before sharing and accept refusal. Do not use images for public speculation about someone.
Use your own device thoughtfully
Consider who can access your browser, saved listings and message previews. Transgirl saved listings are stored locally; private browsing does not replace careful handling of stored data. Remove entries from shared devices when needed and share only necessary contact information.
Report concerns factually and selectively
For a concerning listing, use its report function and describe the specific issue. Use the contact form for technical questions. Do not publish names, photos or chat histories as a supposed warning. A factual report with necessary details is more useful than unrelated personal information.
Frequently asked questions
How can I browse discreetly?
Use your own device and share only necessary contact details. Saved listings remain in the browser, where other users of a shared device may see them. Do not redistribute someone else’s profile pictures or messages.
How do I report a concerning listing?
Use the report function on the listing and describe the specific inconsistency. A report is not a public comment; if harm has occurred, it does not replace taking your own further steps.
