There has been a lot of criticism from trans and non-binary circles about Snapchat’s filters, but I also heard from trans and genderqueer folks about how the filters allowed them to picture a future that can be hard to envision. https://t.co/K4l9omwBGd

In fairness to that Snapchat gender switch filter you guys are now able to experience (even for a tiny bit) the body dysmorphia that trans people feel every damn day

Direct proof that the new Snapchat “gender switch” filter is transphobic— it being equated to people making fun of a trans woman for wanting her correct pronouns used. Let’s talk about it https://t.co/NMWi6xz17f

I did the Snapchat gender filters thing and it feels weird. As a trans woman who can't really get access to things like hrt it's a mixed bag of positive and negative. Overall though, I'm happy I can see myself like this. pic.twitter.com/eD717BKhzw

Love how all social media is full of that gender swap snapchat filters but once actual gender roles/trans/nonbinary etc subjects come up y'all don't want to know anything about it

Snapchat filters are actually making people more comfortable w/ the idea of gender fluidity, which is important for the next generation of trans-individuals. You take these filters away from trans-kids, then what? Stop asking for the manager just cause your privilege was revoked. https://t.co/yltZuuzWPi

Are Snapchat’s wildly popular gender-changing photo filters good or bad for trans and non-binary folks? Like gender itself, it turns out it’s complicated. I dove into the topic for @Axios. https://t.co/YqjBFw5G2p

This is what I mean by outlets mining outrage. The AP found the one person offended by the gender-swap thing. How does this warrant an article? Who cares? Why is "Someone is mad online" a genre?https://t.co/foCvZKvM6v

I believe the "the butterfly effect of the new Snapchat filter" will be in our favor, friends. :) Did you see the articles about this in TIME + Mashable? They will help people see what usually only people in The Conversation see: https://t.co/PSgNbTVhyu | https://t.co/jMx0FlPJfZ

Agree! :) “The app turns users into extreme simplifications, into cartoonish renderings of men + women. Men have broad chins + beards. Women are posed in soft lighting + have small, delicate features. In this way, gender is reduced to a mask or a costume.” https://t.co/jmL75ZWs1y

ive got thoughts on the filter, but T.L. Taylor’s “Intentional Bodies” (2003) might be a fitting read that might interest you, apart from specific works on visual gender coding
Ugh! Can nothing be carefree anymore? Why are you giving a SNAPCHAT FILTER that much control over your emotions? It’s not worth the energy. https://t.co/Okl0l0ojEN
— Errin (@ErrinAnne) May 14, 2019
This is a good point however. I’m torn. I like how this filter helps imagine an alternate reality with another gender, and notice how much is socially constructed. But it’s true seeing this in humorous context might be painful for people with g dysphoria? https://t.co/g3ncV1hWl6
