'My gender is not a costume': For trans people, gender-swap photo filters are no mere game.
Snapchat's new photo filter that allows users to change into a man or woman with the tap of a finger isn't necessarily fun and games for transgender people.Thirty-one-year-old Bailey Coffman is a transgender woman from New York. She says that"my gender is not a costume."
But some others see the potential for such tools to lead to self-discovery among people struggling with their gender identity. Elliott Wheeler, a 16-year-old high school student in Michigan, goes by the name Ellie. She says she hopes"this does help some people better recognize their gender." Snapchat maker Snap Inc. says in a statement that its design team continues work to ensure its filters are diverse and inclusive.
