You have just launched an App for reporting hate crime - that refers only to LGB or TQ. That's not right & feels very discriminatory.
Hate crimes include race, religion, sex & disability. Women are the biggest demographic to suffer from hate crime ..

2. Usually driven by misoginy. Your app uses the term 'cis' to describe women - many find that term offensive.
Your app excludes any options for women to report misoginy & violence based on hate. Worse - it gives the misoginists an option to report women who disagree with them.

3. Many women are suffering horrific abuse online & in person because we stand up for hard won sex based rights. Many men take advantage of the situation & identify as women for nefarious reasons - those men boast about driving women off twitter. How will your app recognise ..

4. ..the fakers, manipulators and fetishists who will use this app as another weapon against women.
I'm really shocked national organisations like #vodaphone would do this to women.
And not just women - how can you ignore racial and disability hate crime?

@BluskyeAllison @michelledonelan
Is this App ethical? Editing out women & excluding the opportunity to report racial, disability & mysogonist instances?
Isn't it going to produce erroneous data because it only counts certain things & is open to misuse?
