Same poster has already said I'd make a "perfect TRA". Not sure if she has a vested interest or what. Tons of the app's creator's Twitter statements totally flip-flop and contradict each other. I don't see what's so wrong about being suspicious of her motives. Considering how transactivists want to use social media to target "TERFS", I see no problems in being suspicious about the motives of someone who specifically advertises to GC people while also claiming that Trans people are welcome, and that trans people helped develop the app. Something isn't "right".

Woke up to the tantrum, laughed, but had to block her. At first I was thinking 'shill', which is fun to poke. But it's just another troll, and that's boring.

The app promoter is still putting up passive-aggressive tweets. I really think she should just advertise her app as it is. If people don't want it, they don't want it. At least be consistent with your statements. It's bizarre she took so much offense at the criticism of having a sex-work sub. If you want to create an app for sex workers, don't advertise it to 16 year old girls. Last thing anybody needs is for pimps' recruiters to seek out girls online via an app.
I still can't fathom using face-recognition on an app, then posting to a sex-work sub. If the app gets hacked, people will have access to your image as well as your account-- which could "out" a sex worker. I'm sure most sex-workers don't want to be "outed". Or-- if you post to a sub that is considered "terfy", any hackers will be identify your face based on your post history.

Absolutely. And the data collection verbiage indicates a deliberate choice to be unethical. I am going to keep calling it out when people mention that app.
