This is from Jenny Watson who's known for fearlessly kicking out the males invading her lesbian speed dating events, now she's doing the same with a new dating app for women. Hopefully it will work as advertised but even if the usual crop of males manage to impose themselves through whatever deceitful trickery, it just further proves her point about how lesbians are being bullied out of their own spaces. Wishing her the best of luck with this!

Lesbian dating app to use facial recognition to exclude trans women

The first dating app for lesbians is set to launch - using sex-recognition technology to exclude trans women and ensure only biological females can sign up.

It would be a novel idea indeed.

However, ‘if wishes were fishes’ and all that. In the meantime, some women want to have a spaces for themselves and other women only and need to start somewhere. They either use one of the software options to do a first screen and then follow up those who fall outside the screening option they choose. Or, they have to abandon their efforts because they cannot manage it without hiring a team to manually contact each and every person to onboard them.

As it has been said. Wouldn’t it be nice to just have the confidence that all male people would respect the boundaries of others?

My advice for what it is worth:

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. The technology might not be perfect but it will filter out some chancers and discourage others from trying it on.

This is the AI the app uses if you want to play around with it. I got 98% woman.

"Woman98.59% confident"

From using a full frontal portrait photo if me where I tilted my head a bit back to over emphasis my jaw to make the proportion bigger and more male looking than in real life.

"Woman 98.59% confident"
When I did a neutral portrait without any tilt, so my facial proportions were not distorted.

Typo: First result was 98.33%.

Glad it works.

If the app is recording straight off the phone camera for the face verification wouldn't that stop people using filters to fool it?

Apps like Starling Bank get the person to record the video reciting an exact sentence. The machine learning looks for filters, and other tell-tail signs of video manipulation. It is quite well for detecting fraud

Is it not in everyone's interests to feed in a hell of a lot more faces to counteract the problem? I don't understand why this is so hard.

Or to have databases and programs for different ethnicities, which would be more reliable?

Surely the Chinese have a phenomenal one based on their population!

In terms of our own skills, we don't work as well on photos, we work on 3D information- including movement.

Well fortunately the Chinese know what a man and a woman are and dont have a trans epidemic (yet)

I've recently come out and would love to find these apps, I cant find anything on play store, does anyone have any recommendations tia x

@Zebracat haha, @DuchessNope oh dear.

I get 97.15% woman, from a terrible, post-menopausal railcard photo in which even I would be doubtful I'm a woman! DH is 91% man, though since he's a baldie I'm surprised he didn't get higher.

Jenny Watson doesn't actually complete any of her projects - she just likes to raise money from women and then not complete them, it was a lesbian venue before this which seems to have disappeared into the ether and I'm sure the dating app will go the same way.

What are you talking about?

She has set up and still runs a lesbian meet up (even though venues tried to block her)

And offers a dating app for lesbians who are biological women

The proposed venue hasn't yet started. Are you sayiing it is never going to happen.

If not what is the purpose of your post.

eatfigs · 13/08/2024 08:15

Does the dating app exist yet? To be honest I got the impression she was way out of her depth with that one.

I said what I said, feel free to come back to this thread and gloat if either of them appear.

Tested the Nyckel app using a photo of a trans-identified, VERY pretty guy I used to date (he took hormones for a while, but had been off them for years when we were involved) - huge blue eyes, full pink lips, thick, waist-length hair - and the app identified him as a woman with 84.85% confidence. So...

Have you checked the web site.

It says what is available.

I was just asking if you had some information that can be used to say the web site is being dishonest.

Quite honestly your first post was just juvenile.

One of the values of FWR is sharing actual information. This isn't twitter.

So do you have an actual information, or are you just showing off.
