Tinder’s “More Genders” Feature Hits 25 Million Matches
Posted on June 8, 2018
BUSTLE – June 8 – Tinder launched "More Genders" feature in 2017. Although it's only been live for 12 months, "More Genders" has been in the works since November 2016. As Tinder Founder & Chairman Sean Rad said, the decision came after the company heard word of rampant gender-based discrimination taking place on its platform: Users would report matches after discovering their gender identity, flagging profiles as fraudulent when a person who'd selected "woman," for example, clarified in their bio that they actually identified as genderqueer, or as a trans woman. The feature has made 25M matches worldwide – and counting.
