I’d recommend meeting ppl irl rather than online. dating apps don’t have a great reputation for trans people

I can’t agree with #1 more, I know that talking to people in person can be really stressful especially if you deal with anxiety but I think it is so much better especially if you’re worried about chasers or people only interested in sex. My other piece of advice would be to always have the first few dates in public places preferably with other people you know also there.

If you do feel that dating apps would be the best for you though- as a general safety tip the bit about public places still stands and with an added advice that chaperones aren’t just for kids. Inviting a couple you are friends with along and making it a double date can make it feel much more comfortable to meet with a stranger from the internet.
