THE INDEPENDENT - Dec 7 - Tahlia René, a Public Health Major at the University of Austin in Texas, discovered two days ago that Tinder had removed her profile from the app. The company stated that Tahlia had been "violating our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines in some way." Tahlia came to the conclusion that her profile had been removed due to the numerous reports submitted by male users who had a problem with her transgender identity. This comes after Tinder introduced new features last November to promote gender inclusivity. A Tinder spokesperson said: "We stand behind our pledge to make sure no one is ever removed from Tinder simply because of their gender. "While we cannot share details regarding specific users or investigations, all users are held to the same standards and are removed from Tinder if they violate our community guidelines or terms of use."
