Where Are the Trans 4 Trans Dating Websites?

I've come across an unfortunate, but interesting, wrinkle in the world of trans romance lately. Though I've had good experiences dating cis people, both queer and non, I've observed a certain felt kinship/connection with other trans people and I thought I should explore it romantically.

I do meet other trans people fairly often, but as everyone knows, our community is a small one. Not to fear, though! Mine is the Internet-dating generation! Surely there must be some sites out there to facilitate awkward conversations over coffee between two trans people.

Turns out, not so much. There is no shortage of sites for people looking to date (or let's be honest here, f---) a trans person, but none is tailored for trans people to find other trans people. Most of the sites out there cater to the large, and still growing, demand of cis men for trans women. Those that don't openly cater to that market are nonetheless quickly taken over by it anyway. Obviously there are far more cis men with a hankering for trans sex than there are trans people to supply it (or simply trans people period).
