What's Up With DemocraticSingles.com??
They don't list a choice for you to describe yourself as a transsexual!!

They only give choices for Male or Female. I would think a progressive site would be more open and inclusive about this sort of thing...and enable a transsexual, such as myself...to be up-front and honest about who I am.

As I believe all relationships are based on mutual trust, openness, and honesty...I find it troubling that this website does not allow for me transgender brothers and sisters to be open and honest about who they are!

Hello Angela

We have many transexuals on the site. The procedure in your case would be to
place yourself in the "woman seeking man" section, and explain in the text
of your profile whatever you want to say about yourself. No need for
deception of any sort :)

Best,
DSN Staff

3. Ehhh...it's just a corporate dating service...what did you expect?
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 12:26 AM by sleipnir
Seriously, it's run by terra9singles which basically uses specific demographics in running dating sites.

Sorry to say, but this corporation also runs republicansingles.com.

Who really knows how progressive it is, but the underlying purpose is pure cash and profit, a total capitalist website. It's certainly no DU.

5. "Sorry to say, but this corporation also runs republicansingles.com"...
Then it seems pretty clear they are in it for the buck.
