Dating for and with Transident Individuals at Consonance (Gleichklang)
These are the central principles of how we integrate transgender and transidentity into online dating:
Protection from harm in dating: With our acceptance principle for trans and transident people, we make an important contribution to inclusive online dating and relationship building. Transgender women and men often experience rejection solely because of their identity in dating and even in friendship search. This can be hurtful and block relationships from the outset. At Consonance (Gleichklang), we enable appreciative online dating for our trans members by surveying all our members regarding their gender-related search options as well as their acceptance and appreciation for trans partners and transident people. In matchmaking, we can thus ensure acceptance for transgender from the outset. This ensures that suggestions are only made where mutual recognition exists.
Gender and gender identity at Consonance (Gleichklang): At Consonance, women, men, trans women, trans men, as well as trans and non-binary identities are an equal part of our dating community. Consciously, transgender is not directly queried as a gender at Consonance because there are many transgender individuals who, for example, see themselves as women, men, or non-binary and do not wish for special characterization. It is also possible to indicate non-binary male or non-binary female. A trans woman is therefore a woman in terms of gender with us. It applies to the gender she feels she belongs to, which does not have to be binary but can also be non-binary. At a later point, we ask all our members whether they see themselves as transgender or transident. We also survey all our members – as described – whether they would like to meet a partner with a transgender background. On this basis, matchmaking suggestions are made.
People who experience attraction to trans*: We support transident people in their online dating and friendship search. At the same time, we also support people who feel attracted to trans individuals – regardless of their own gender identity or sexual orientation. We consider every attraction to be completely legitimate as long as it is oriented toward appreciative interaction and emotional relationship orientation. Consonance connects people through their diversity. At Consonance, it is therefore possible to specifically search for relationships and encounters with transident people.
Sexual contacts and eroticism: Dating at Consonance is primarily focused on lasting relationships, love relationships, friendships, and friends with benefits. It is also possible to consciously include sexuality and eroticism in online dating or friendship search, or to align the search primarily toward deeper forms of erotic or sexual encounter. All forms of encounter that are based on appreciation and emotional connection have their place in dating at Consonance (Gleichklang). Both trans individuals and people seeking relationships with trans individuals can indicate their interest in erotic encounters or sexual experiences. This dating is embedded in a holistic and sex-positive framework in which sexuality is seen as part of human closeness.
Binary and Non-Binary Self-Identification in Dating by Transgender Individuals
Many transgender individuals clearly classify themselves as binary female or male. Some refer to themselves as trans women or trans men, while others completely forgo a trans designation and simply understand themselves as women or men. At Consonance (Gleichklang), this self-positioning can be easily implemented by selecting the respective binary category. Online dating functions completely independently of whether someone uses the term transgender for themselves or not.
Other transgender individuals understand themselves as non-binary or not clearly binary. These identities can also be clearly indicated at Consonance (Gleichklang). Non-binary can be selected as an independent gender designation, additionally – but not necessarily – also in connection with non-binary female or non-binary male. The classification serves not for categorization for its own sake, but enables suitable dating and realistic encounters.
Which terms people use for themselves arises from their life history, their reflection, and their personal experience. Some continue to use designations such as transsexuality or transsexual, although these are now used less frequently and are rejected by others. Others refer to themselves as trannies, consciously self-determined or ironically.
Experiences with “gender dysphoria,” “gender incongruence,” or “gender incongruence” also belong to the biography of some, especially older people. These terms are therefore to be respected when used by those concerned, although sensitivity is important because social discrimination often hides behind such terms.
Consonance (Gleichklang) itself predominantly uses the terms transgender, transidentity, or trans*, which, according to our experience, have the greatest intersection of acceptance.
Queer Dating and Inclusive Matchmaking
Consonance (Gleichklang) has been committed for many years to queer dating and queer online dating as an integral part of an inclusive community. A central component of the Consonance philosophy is also the promotion of different relationship models. Supported are monogamous relationships as well as non-monogamous, open relationships, polyamorous relationships, polyamorous group relationships, swinger relationships, and alternative concepts such as relationship anarchy.
Studies show that transgender and non-binary individuals are above-average open to non-conventional relationship forms. Through the targeted consideration of these relationship models, Consonance can offer trans individuals a particularly high level of support in dating and online dating. The search is oriented toward how people actually want to live relationships – not toward how they are socially expected by majority norms.
Likewise, as the only dating platform, we enable a pansexual search. Pansexuality is a sexual orientation in which gender no longer plays a role, but only the person themselves matters. With pansexual orientation, partners can include women, men, intersex individuals, and other people with non-binary gender (e.g., transgender).
Consonance (Gleichklang) as a Different Kind of Dating
Often, online dating for trans people is still not easy. Despite much progress and increased societal tolerance, rigid biological gender stereotypes continue to persist in many minds. This reduces openness to possibly entering into a partnership with a transident person.
At Consonance (Gleichklang), we consciously confront this situation with openness and create solutions for our transgender members. At the same time, we offer valuable support for those who specifically want to meet a trans man, a trans woman, or a transident person for love relationships or friendships.
At Consonance (Gleichklang), we explicitly understand ourselves as a dating alternative to conventional dating apps. Instead of swiping, short-term rewards, rejection mechanisms, and addictive dating behavior, Consonance is consistently oriented toward genuine relationship building. This gives both transident individuals and those who want to meet trans people particularly good chances of lasting relationship happiness at Consonance (Gleichklang).
