I would just like to say that these signs in the DFW airport bathrooms are peak social engineering, and I do hope Dan Patrick enjoys all the phone calls from people upset about the government photographing their hairy bits.

@MissConstrue this is real?
@Maristya Do the signs exist? Yes. The image they show is the flush sensor on the toilets at dfw. They have an automatic sensor that flushes the toilet when someone stands or moves. 
Is this going to have people panic calling the Lt Govs office? Oh dear gods, I hope so. 🤣🤣.
@MissConstrue This is a joke, right?

@12thRITS @MissConstrue

For now, but somebody has given them the idea so who knows for tomorrow.

@MissConstrue

Since they currently use the images as training data ... Does that mean that the more people with penises go to the female-labeled restrooms and vice versa, the crappier their system works? Sounds like a good reason to do just that, doesn't it?

@fedithom I was wondering about what “improper use of the restroom meant”...

It seems transphobic shit if it is all about matching genitalia with the picture in the restroom doors.

@MissConstrue good joke, I hope this is a joke!
@MissConstrue please tell me this is a joke
@hvdsomp @MissConstrue it is fake, yes. The post here doesn’t overtly say so but I was suspicious 😅 https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/02/10/genital-verification-dfw-airport-sign/

@CanvasesByPeter Thank you Captain Obvious
@j_bertolotti Well considering I was the first to post the official snopes article when no one else thought to actually research it, _you are welcome_ 👍
@MissConstrue Will this be coming soon to the Dallas/Fort Worth municipal Only Fans channel?
@MissConstrue hopefully makes some folks rethink their stance on bathroom bills
@MissConstrue Good trolling, but the fact this is entirely believable is.. sigh.
@MissConstrue the fact that I can't tell if this is a joke or not says a lot about the current state of the US. anything goes.
@MissConstrue How to people actually say which photo is from their .. do they have to look at all of them and then say "not this one, not this one ... oh, this one is mine!"
@MissConstrue Is this some sort of joke I'm not understanding because I'm not american? Or it's just how crazy the US is getting?
@MissConstrue when reality becomes so weird no one can distinguish it from fake 😬
@MissConstrue Öhm, mein Satire-Detektor geht an. Aber ich bin mir 2025 oft nicht mehr sicher, ob das dann nicht doch Realität ist. Hilfe!

@MissConstrue

Will 47 submit himself to this in order to establish the veracity or otherwise of claims made by #stormydaniels ? Perhaps he should be invited to do so!

@MissConstrue what bothers me is the thought that people might direct their anger about this at trans people...
@MissConstrue Destroy, tape, mask do everything to stop this madness. Piss in the washbasin, this must stop.
@TuutW @MissConstrue the sign is real, but the image is from the automatic flusher. Some people put it up to troll, but the fact that it sounds plausible says enough about the state the US is in 🫣
@MissConstrue This is a joke... for now. Calling it now, in a couple years this will be normalized in red states.
@MissConstrue they'd be really upset, if they could read
@MissConstrue The fuck is this?!? I’d make sure I pissed all over that camera! 😡
@MissConstrue
The fact that this seems 100% plausible and credible speaks volumes about the state of America in general and Republican-controlled states in particular.
@MissConstrue that’s porn and that should be illegal…. If I saw a sign like that, I rather shit my pants than allow the government to see my genitals.
@MissConstrue after seeing that, I never wanna listen to our government go on anti-porn and anti-trans bathroom rants ever again.
@MissConstrue I don’t believe they will remove your data either

@MissConstrue Apparently your hint that this sign indeed has been put there for trolling (or "social engineering") purposes was not obvious enough, and some people in the comments either believe it is real (which is sad, but not surprising), or feel the need to point out explicitly that it is not real.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there would be "AI" genital scanning in toilets in some states of the US soon, for "safety". I am sure some startup is already working on that!

@MissConstrue US has gone so off the rails that it reached the post-ironic inflection point where it's hard to tell what's a joke and what isn't.
@MissConstrue "it's okay sir, there's just one person viewing the images in a discreet location"
@MissConstrue this is not needed at all. Any biometric system can detect if a person is male or female, just using proportions between body parts.

In front of a machine doing Biometry, there is exactly zero chance of "passing".
@MissConstrue I'm disappointed it didn't end with "you may be requested to provide a photo of your genitals to allow us to match them with any photos that we hold."
@MissConstrue
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ?!
@kennethb @MissConstrue
It's protest vandalism. The sign is real, but everything on it is a lie. Someone posted it as a protest against anti-trans legislation and regulations.
@MissConstrue welcome to the US. The county where everything is possible.

@MissConstrue Please, spent 1 minute to not share fake news!

https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/electronic-genital-verification-texas-20158963.php

"The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport says that a security notice for "Electronic Genital Verification" that has gone viral on social media is not real or an authorized notice. The notice, allegedly posted in bathrooms at the busy airport, says that genitalia "may be photographed electronically" to screen for "improper restroom access." "

@kharkerlake @MissConstrue They weren't sharing fake news; I think you maybe read the post too fast because I found it to be pretty clear about what was actually going on :)
@admin @MissConstrue Yeah, we already cleared that. ☺️
@kharkerlake @MissConstrue oh sorry, guess my instance missed those replies! :)

@admin @MissConstrue No worries!

And yeah, I normally open the Thread on the instance it originated from to see all potential replies. Sadly the only thing which annoys me a bit. But a well..

@MissConstrue I laughed my ass off.
@gentlyepigrams @MissConstrue Well done, that’s *really* going to screw up their models! 🤣
