TL;DR?
Lots of red flags if you take a peek at the developer’s account. https://bsky.app/profile/getamouraapp.bsky.social/post/3mknta2ejrv2q/quotes
Fascists in the American government made a dating app in an attempt to trick trans people into reporting themselves/create an actionable database.
Holy shit.
This just doesn’t pass the smell test to me. Why would they need to go to the trouble? It’s not like they can’t figure out who is trans through name and gender change court records, health records, etc. Even if these aren’t gathered in one list anywhere, it wouldn’t be hard to have an AI run through name change records and flag anyone that changed their name from a typically masculine to a typically feminine name, and vice versa.
Sure, there are some very paranoid/privacy-minded trans folks that never put their transness in government or medical records. They never change their name legally, they DIY HRT, etc. And those folks would be difficult to find. However, I imagine most such folks would be far too cautious to join a trans-specific dating app.
You have a point, but as somebody who actually does work with data like that for historical work, having all your data be in one searchable database is always very handy, and these ghouls world love to find the harder to look for ones too.
Also don’t forget, it’s not just the government is it? A lot of organisations hate transgender people and would love a searchable database of them.
And what does the Chaser have to do with it?
Isn’t there also a service just straight up called Chaser? They made a second one?
