Transgender Narratives and Online Dating
The recent inclusivity and protections of transgender identities on online dating platforms has improved the creation, dissemination and reception of individualised transgender narratives, making both – sites and trans narratives – more accessible and acceptable to (potentially) transamorous cismen. Within research, trans-cis dating relations have been unexplored. Studies that exist (Smith 2007; Doozy 2021), tended to pathologize trans-cis relati…

The approach inclines towards queer as a deliberately bl…
