I am a member of OKCupid.com (http://www.okcupid.com), one of a very few really good totally FREE online dating services. Unlike many other dating sites, it supports gays and polyamorists, so it would not be that much of a stretch for them to support intersex, although currently its menus aren't set up for it.
OKCupid has a support forum within Live Journal, which is monitored by OKCupid programmers who both answer questions and take suggestions for how to improve the web. Although they have not made any obvious efforts to explicitely identify TS-M2F or TS-F2M transexuals as some very expensive pay sites do, it is possible this is simply because nobody ever suggested it.
It isn't that necessary though because of a sort of LINKING feature. OKCupid allows you to identify anything about yourself you feel others might share or be interested in in your profile. Suppose your interest or feature is "intersex" or "xxy" you need only encase it in double brackets "[[" And then double clicking it will list all the other users on OKcupid who have that interest or feature.
I realize that like Live Journal and "bodies like hours" OKCupid has its rough edges but it is also a very impressive website doing a particularly impressive job. I think there would be more reward in a number of us attempting to influence it to cater to our needs than to reinvent it from scratch, especially when you consider that there may be hundreds of thousands of us already on OKcupid who might reveal themselves if they became aware that there were others like them.
We do have a forum section called ISO, however it is heavily moderated. The reason we don't have a dedicated dating section is it tends to be a creep magnet of "wanna fucks" rather than sincere people. Since we are a support group, it's annoying and insulting when they come out.
