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 ๐ ..... the plethora of trans woman who will not get flagged....๐ ....
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..
