    First, from a purely technical perspective, there is absolutely no way this works properly, you just can’t recognize a trans person just by looking at his/her face, even if this was ethically okay (and this isn’t), it couldn’t work at all.

    Second, the privacy nightmare that would be, every picture of everyone would be processed (and certainly stored forever for training the program) without the possibility to disable it ?

    And finally, the obvious discrimination against trans people (I never encountered a trans person that wasn’t honest about it, so it’s even pointless to “detect” them)

    To be honest I’m not in the LGBT community or anything, but this goes to far

      I guess you’re not on dating apps?

      Happened to me a lot. For some reason, especially while I was on my way to meet them. "Hey, by the way, is it okay if I have a penis?*

      Look, I’m sorry, I’m not attracted to penises. So far I’ve only had one attempt to say it’s transphobic to not want to have sex with them, but even for the others it’s really shitty to lead someone on like that.

        Oh trust me I was, I tested pretty much all of them 😂

        the majority it was displayed directly in the bio, and the rest told me in the first or second message

        I trust you but I can’t relate to your experience, I always encountered honest people (at least with this subject)
