Company Description

Thurst is a dynamic dating app for queer people of all gender identifications.

Thurst is an app for queer cis, trans, and non-binary folks who are seeking to connect in person Tinder only offers two options for gender identification: male and female. I’m literally shaking my head as I write this. But Tinder isn’t the only mainstream dating app that’s guilty of excluding trans people. Hinge, another popular dating app, also only offers “woman” and “man” as gender options. I’ve reached out to both Tinder and Hinge about safeguards for trans people using their apps and why they don’t offer other ways for people to express their genders. I’ll update this story if I hear back from Tinder and Hinge.
