> I assumed I was safe from judgement by my family and their friends. Then Tinder rips that privacy you thought you had away! Why would you think your profile is "secret" in any way to begin with? It is literally an app that shows you others using it NEARBY yourself. And a highly popular one at that. The profiles are also public and there is no indication to them being private as far as I've ever read about the app.

One could say that there is an expectation that only other tinder users will discover you. Kinda like going to a bar or a strip club, which are activities that your community may disapprove of. Thus, you only encounter members outside of your community, or community members who are cool with it.

To use the things in the blog post you still need a Tinder account.

A disapproving family member could still go to a bar or open an account to try to find you there. Which you should be aware of because they are both still publicly accessible spaces.

I'm getting a 401 error when I do curl https://api.gotinder.com/user/52b....000f9b

And I grabbed the user_id from the groups json "user_id" var

I also made the request from the browser on my phone.. same thing.

Do I need to add some tinder oauth credential to the curl request?

Can't get it to work ... where do I get my facebook user id and token from? Do I have to create an App featuring access to my friend list for that?

As stated in both the repository and the blog post (a couple times, actually), you need to intercept the Tinder traffic after you've created a profile.

You can also check the Issues section, where other users have posted instructions on how to easily find the id and key with just your web browser.

I am sticking with the biological definition.

There are more than two options in conservative biology as well. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphrodite

The very first sentence of your link says "both male and female". In nature they have the ability to act as both male or female.

The biological definition is not real. Binary genders are a trend, not a certainty in nature.

I was attracted to hard sciences because the subjectivity of things like psychology turned me off. Statements like yours make me concerned that liberal arts departments are going to try to make science fit their narrative. The roles of male and female is one of the most universally common behaviors across specifies. If I grew a vagina and had a baby it doesn't make me a different gender. It means I took on some of the attributes of a human female. At that point I wouldn't consider myself male or female. But I certainly wouldn't try to make up a 3rd gender for my unique situation.

That's a very positivist approach, and I hope the liberal arts continue to erode such binary based thinking in the sciences as I believe that philosophy makes better scientists. . And so what if you "made up" another gender? Gender is socially constructed and is not a real, concrete construct. I'm sorry that considering concepts and people as unable to be hyper taxonomized by artificial constraints is inconvenient to you and more valuable than treating the identities of others with respect.

'gender’: 1, // 1 is female, 0 is male. C’mon Tinder that’s not how gender works C'mon Tinder.

Are there more than two genders now?

> Are there more than two genders now?

That question needs unpacked further:

(1) Are there more than two gender identities? Yes.

(2) Are there more than two socially ascribed genders? Yes, given that (1) has achieved a significant degree of acceptance, as has aligning ascribed gender with identity.

(3) Are there more than two grammatical genders? Depends on the language.

(4) Are there more than two arrangements of sex-related biological traits? Yes

(5) Are there more than two of any of the items in #1, #2, or #4 on which people might preferences that would be relevant in a dating app? Probably.
