Tinder Keeps Banning Transgender Users
Transgender people using Tinder are reporting on social media that they've been banned from using the dating app because of their gender identity.
Business Insider first reported on the issue, and summarized the company's explanation for why trans users might find themselves reported or banned: "There's potential for users to be wrongfully banned, and the app doesn't provide a way for transgender people to avoid being matched with people who might report them."
UPDATE: As of 2017, they have improved their policies on this.

I believe that if that web sight is phisically based here in the United States they have broken a federal for discrimination based on Religion, Race, color, or sexual identity.
If the web site is not phisically based here in the US, unfortunately they can do whatever they want. I personally think this is dispickable and they are f***ing biggets with no physicial matter between the ears.
I will not patronize any business that does this.
