@Graci Given that there was already an app that tried to do that, and its facial recognition tech was already grossly incompetent, I expect that this one's tech will also fail. (Also, most lesbians hate transphobes, I've found.)
The brain rot that causes fascism and TERFism seems to render people incapable of writing good code.
@lenaoflune And there are plenty of cis women who have what they would call "male features".
I hate it when the attacks are coming from inside the house. Despicable and doomed to fail.
@lenaoflune @Graci Oh and kudos to the Her app for telling transphobes to fuck off and delete the app.
@Graci Yep.
The last app that tried to do this ended up blocking a lot of cis women and letting in a lot of trans women, because as all of us who don't have TERF brain rot know, facial features are on a spectrum with considerable overlap.
