This new dating app will use facial recognition technology to exclude trans women - LGBTQ Nation

The founder of the app is an anti-trans activist who keeps getting kicked off other apps for her anti-trans comments.

Some daughters have the same face as their fathers, some sons have the same face as their mothers. How could this possibly work?

Now if we could have a dating app that excluded conservatives…

Wouldn’t that just be a dating app for people under 35?

Nope

Ok fine then I am out of ideas.

Also do you really want this? I mean I am glad me and my wife basically agree on politics but that is a really tiny part of our relationship. I can’t imagine sitting on some app using selection bubbles to find girls who are perfectly aligned with my stance on every issue, knowing that this was the biggest reason why they are also there.

Me, personally? I have no horse in this race. I was just saying it’s inaccurate to imply that only under 25s are not conservative

It actually won’t, it will incorrectly attempt to identify and exclude people, but it won’t work, because this is all snake oil horseshit perpetrated by attention seeking grifters.

What about making different classifications for cis and trans males and females? There are people who are not dating someone trans or who only date trans people.

Saving them the weird moment of realizing it seems good.

Curious what happens when it thinks a cis woman is trans.

The woman who launched the site gets clocked as trans by gender prediction systems. It’s already happened.

Seems like wasted effort & resources…

The people on the apps should be able to manage their own activity.

As long as the greater society continues to conflate sex(ual)/genitalia[male, female, intersex/hermaphrodite] with gender(man, woman, trans man, trans woman, non-binary, etcetera) nothing will reach a mutal level of comprehension.

The plethora of false positives makes this technology flawed - the number of females who will be flagged as trans 😅… the plethora of trans woman who will not get flagged…😅…

What a time to be alive…

These apps are not created to make meaningful connections. It’s to increase their profits and engagement. Apps have been around how long now, and we see a DECLINE in the quality of relationships not their improvement…

Lol, it’s just really not that hard to get your vagina, tits and face in the same photo. It would be super obvious if there was a penis in between. So maybe they should detect penises? And then they could detect diseases on the penis that would be pretty obvious. So guys would need to upload a photo showing their penis and face in one shot… again pretty easy to do these days.

Who’d want to date anyone who uses this app anyways?
