This is the right question. The answer is mostly how precise the filters really are.
Unless you're in a major metro, expect whether the interface gets in the way to be the limiting factor on that one.
Most comparisons of transgender dating free skip how well it holds up once the novelty fades, which is the part that matters.
The most useful filter on the app was recent activity, not distance, and it changed how anonymous you actually stay in practice completely.
I would judge transgender dating free on whether you can hold a conversation without paying rather than on the feature list.
Take that as one data point on transgender dating free rather than a verdict.
If this one does not work out, how DatingFly handles it covers similar ground.
