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

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

          oh my god, this is delicious

          edit: is this actually her tool, or just some random online test? because the actual app is still described as in making.

            I recognize the tool used and it genders me correctly all the time, so probably not what she’s going for

          The entire thread of the OG post is gold.

          If this AI was so fucking smart why doesn’t it just use facial recognition of celebs like RuPaul to wipe out a bunch of false positives?

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

      There will be a right wing meltdown when someone like Chloe Cole is rejected.
