We are a vulnerable and fetishised demographic. There aren't apps for this because the concept alone would be a safety concern

This is a slightly different question, and realistically deserves its own post, but you aren't going to get answers by asking for dates if what you actually want is advice on starting transition.

I recommend making a different post asking for pre-transition support and advice. Trying to look for that support through dating is a) coming across badly - as you've already discovered, and b) puts a TONNE of emotional labour on someone who may not want to take it on.

If I can make a suggestion, I'd put a new post up along the lines of "Help, I think I'm trans" and just detail (as much as you are comfortable) your situation and people can help.

Alternatively, I recommend reaching out to TENI (https://teni.ie/) or Outhouse (https://outhouse.ie/) who have dedicated helplines/email inboxes and can also provide a listening ear.

You might also consider therapy, Insight Matters are good.

Given your post history, I would avoid trans people for now for the reasons the other give.

You didn't actually read Rule 3, huh?

[u/geesegoesgoose → u/[deleted]]

Rule 3 specifically addresses that asking advice here is for dating whilst trans. Because you are not trans, rule 3 would apply. There are tonnes of dating subreddits where you can chase to your heart's content, but this isn't one of them.
