TransgenderLocal.com review

The dating website TransgenderLocal.com seems to be a good place to become acquainted with members from your cross-dressing, and transgender local communities, including couples. That is what the homepage claims. It shows us profiles of good-looking people in their 30s, and prompts us to provide personal information if we wish to sign in. Although the design of the landing page is pleasing to the eye, after digging deeper, this portal hides a scam.

Although the registration is free of charge, we cannot send messages to other users, unless we upgrade our account. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions of the site, this is something which is extremely risky to do. The terms mention that trial subscriptions will automatically renew. They also describe a complicated and vague process, which users must follow, to avoid charges. This is a clear subscription rip-off. Also, after some thorough research, we found that the overall experience might not be genuine. So, even though we must pay to chat with other members, they might not be real.

Additionally, TransgenderLocal.com has the nerve to inform us, that our profile could be shown on other sites owned by the same operator. This is not sensible to agree with, in terms of data protection. The name of the operating company is Blue Mouse Ltd, from Castletown, in the Isle of Man, UK. As soon as we read this name, our suspicions were confirmed, because it is not the first time, that we have encountered this fly-by-night company.

Although the homepage seems trustworthy, a scam is hidden behind the façade of TransgenderLocal.com. We create a boring profile, and soon start to receive attention from users. This is not very common, especially when your account does not even have a photo. The excitement of receiving messages could vanish, as members cannot reply to them, unless they leave their card details, for a so-called VIP subscription. Even subscribing for a trial membership, means that the payment will eventually take place. The cancellation process, to avoid unwanted transactions, will be long and burdensome, as implicitly described in the Terms and Conditions.

This premium membership will extend automatically, at a high cost for users. This is something to avoid, if we are meant to make contact with real people. In our experience, TransgenderLocal.com is not only a subscription rip-off, but also a fake chat. The first clue they give us, comes when completing our profile. They ask, “what will our members do to get you horny?”. Besides that, after reading the legal section, it is clearly stated that the site has an “entertainment purpose.” Therefore, the members’ pool is full of profiles which are operated by agents, or bots.

Nonexistent data protection policy

For this review, we carefully checked the legal section of TransgenderLocal.com. Here, they are crystal clear about the right of Blue Mouse Ltd, to make use of members’ personal data, on their different dating portals. This information is presented as an opportunity for the user to be included in a wider database, and to meet many more potential matches. This is far from the truth, as it will only be used to fill other sites’ members’ pools. Or your information will be shown on a random landing page, for promotional purposes. So, your personal data might be accessible to anyone.

To conclude this review, we can report that it is unlikely that you will find a real date on TransgenderLocal.com. It has been shown, beyond any doubt, that this platform, and the company behind it, are a scam. Fake profiles operated by agents, trial memberships, which automatically renew, and extremely poor data protection. These are the three main reasons why we strongly recommend everyone to stay away from this portal. Try some other legit options.
