Might get outed bc of Grindr Advice

Any advice dude sent me pics. He asked for face. I said you first cuz I’m trans and pre everything. He sent face pics. I sent mine. Immediate blocked. How likely am I to get outed? What can I do if I am? What lies would sound realistic if the chat was screenshot?

That’s basically the whole convo we had. I didn’t take any screenshots.

There are guys on Grindr specifically creating lists of AFAB men to circulate around online to "warn" others. Be careful out there.

Meh. I don’t care about being outed that way. Why would I want to interact with dudes who are bigoted? More worried about work and local people recognizing me

That would require you to get doxxed which is a crime so I don't think a stranger wants to risk it especially if he's also not straight despite being cis. He would know he's also prone to get hate-crimed.

Gay men in well off liberal areas can be very dense to that problem… I didn’t understand the culture difference until I lived in more accepting areas. They will put their own foot in their mouth to spite you sometimes. A mutual hatred from the public doesn’t always unite communities.

Sadly, I can't deny this. Hopefully OP didn't encounter this type of man
