A Chelsea Clinton-Backed Transgender App Is Stirring Up Debate on Twitter
Newsweek ^ | 3/2/2021 | Jon Jackson

Posted on 03/02/2021 2:27:26 PM PST by simpson96

A new app called Euphoria has been garnering attention on social media thanks to the recent announcement that Chelsea Clinton has come on board as one of its biggest investors.(snip)

Many of the opposing comments about the app on Twitter can be categorized as transphobia—hate speech coming from people upset that an app exists for transgender people in any form. However, there are also plenty of transgender people who are upset about the Euphoria app, and who are sharing their complaints widely on Twitter. Some of the app's transgender critics worry that it benefits cisgender heteronormative millionaires like Clinton, while others claim it tries to define the gender transition process in too clear-cut of a manner.(snip)

When news broke in mid-February of the app receiving funding of more than $250,000 from the likes of Chelsea Clinton and the LGBTQ+ investment firm Gaingels, many social media users seized on the Clinton association. Accusations of Clinton pulling the strings for the company to swindle the transgender community immediately surfaced, as did the fraudulent claim of no trans people being consulted about the app's creation.(snip)

Clinton, too, has stressed that her role is that of a supporter of the app specifically and of the trans community as a whole. When announcing her investment with the company, she released the following statement: "Too many trans people in our country have gone, and continue to go, without access to critical resources and information. Euphoria's co-founders RKA and Patrick McHugh are changing that, providing a suite of platforms to empower the trans community. I'm proud to support Euphoria in its mission to lead us toward a better, healthier and more inclusive future."

Is she trying hard to justify inside her head, her ultra-privileged existence, or what?

Well, For most of my life I never dreamed I would read such an article outside of an LSD-fueled porn novel. I guess this is a societal milestone of sorts.

Ditto. I don’t know what exactly a “transgender app” even does, and I don’t even want to know, so I didn’t click through. But who’d have imagined even 30-35 years ago we’d be where we are now? I wonder if this how felt in the late-stage, pre-Christian Roman empire... living in a society whose virtue is in the past and is on the verge of cultural collapse.

It’s interesting that someone that has never done anything in her life has $250K to ‘invest’ in a transgender app.

Perhaps she is laundering some money from her parents.

I’m calling it right now. Chelsea is calculating to “transition” to being a man, then Chaz Clinton will run for office to try to get the distinction of being “first transgender President”.

Matthew 12:34 New American Standard Bible

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, express any good things?

For the mouth speaks from that which fills the heart.

Psalm 52:3

You love evil more than good, Lies more than speaking what is right. Selah

“Many of the opposing comments about the app on Twitter can be categorized as transphobia—hate speech”


So simply stating the fact that men cannot become women and vice versa is now ‘transphobia’, that is, hate speech. See how simple it is to shut normals up? Opps, referring to non transgenders as ‘normals’, that’s hate speech too! Objecting to teenage boys in girls’ locker rooms/showers—hate speech! What a hater I find myself to have become.

Sounds like a real money-maker. A solid investment.
Now just how large is the audience for a “trans app”?
Chelsea seems like a good target for scam artists.
Stupid virtue signalling for 250K.

Re: "cisgender heteronormative millionaires"

Are you freaking kidding me...

After trying to read and pronounce a term like that, I am investing my money in Spell Check and definition software!

A transgender app automatically Photoshops your picture to look like an ugly version of the opposite sex. It also lets you shop their catalog of Dr. Frankenstein specials of surgically constructed genitalia.

Let's hope this failed candidate for Spokane County Commissioner (56-43) gets some help.
