💬 Off-Topic "We Can Always Tell" - Competitive Clocking

[JelloJerk]

Wtf? There's a maximum amount of attempts (10).

The site doesn't seem to store any data (Brave says there's no cookies/cache for me to clear), but it still keeps tracks of attempts, even if you refresh or close the site? How does that work?They just want to keep me from being the rank 1 clocker in the world.

Edit: Switched VPN location. We are so back.

 

[The Ugly One]

The idea that trans people are supposed to pass hurts them more than anything.
Clogging someone is not a personal attack at their identity.

Yes it is. When I clock a troon as a male, I am rejecting his claim to somehow be a woman, and his insistence that shopping at Forever 21 and wearing Joker-style lipstick identifies him as female.

I got 65%, pretty sure I guessed some fugly women were troons and some spoon-faced dudes were pooners.

 

[The Token Ethnic]

Damn, my radar is off

 

[Otterly]

I will be really amused if there is anything like feedback on it. Like you post your pic as a pooner and you get a ‘98% of users thought your were female.’

Its cheating most of them have filters on

When they control the angles, framing, and filters, it's tough.

I like how most of the photos are ether filtered to hell or it's just fatties.

If troons TRULY believed that they pass, they would be showing body shots and unedited photos. Anyone can "pass" in carefully curated photos.

all of this is true of natal women though

Surely not. That would be highly triggering to these marginalised groups.

Bah, humbug. Getting clocked glitchless 100% run just won't be impressive anymore. Guess I'll go to bed instead.

 

[CoolFool]

The trick to spotting pooners for me is the eye area and facial hair. The facial hair is easy to explain (someone else already did that) but tbh I can't explain why the female eye area looks different from males. I just know I can almost always look at a pooner, no matter how well passing, and instantly clock them by their eyes.

Cat fishing is not a new thing nor is it limited to just troons. People have been cat fishing long before photoshop or filters were a thing. Hell, even back before photos existed, painters and sculptors would make their subjects look much better than they really were.

That's what makes this whole project even more hilarious to me, despite the attempts of these troons to hide their obvious sex, at minimum people are guessing 60% - 70% accuracy.

 

[The Potatomatic 2000]

The thing trannies forget is, the way they style and express themselves is always a reflection of how they see the gender they claim to be. It's always through the filter of themselves.

Have you ever seen an actual, normal, real man called Kai or Ash who has that wavy combover hair, a bowtie and "funky" shirts buttoned up all the way?
An adult woman named after pop culture figures that were trendy during the time said woman was a teenager, wearing knee high socks and constantly talking about guuuuurl shit?

Even if they photoshop themselves SOMEWHAT passable on static, one time picture, we know. It's often not one thing. Sure, a gal can have a bit of a lantern chin or an unfortunate body shape. A dude can have that pudgy look. Happens. We all have flaws like that. But a 30 something "woman" who has big shoulders, suspiciously combed over hair, named Ramona, who is into speedrunning, in knee high socks with "gal" or "chick" or "girl" in every username? Dassa man.

This is true, but we also go out in the street wearing our own unfiltered faces and bodies and do not get "sir'ed" everywhere we go. Which rather suggests the trannies are having to use quite a lot of camera tricks to obscure their entire gender.

 

[unexpected onions]

On my second try I clicked the opposite of what they were going for, if they tried looking like a woman I picked man and vice versa. My accuracy dropped to 50% with that, so there are definitely some normal men and women mixed in (as normal as you can be when you post your picture there, that is).

On my 2nd try I tried choosing the one that it looked like they were going for and got 75%. There were some females that might have been "nonbinary" or just women with short hair but I chose male so that's probably what dropped the score.

Do you though?

Not defending trannies, for the record, rather pointing out that these complaints are invalid since every natal woman employs all the same tactics.

Er, yes. I go out in the face God gave me every day.

Don't say "but muh make up", fuck that effort. It gets a wash in the morning and done.

I am pretty certain there are no pictures of me anywhere on the internet. I am not aware of any being taken of me at all after.... 2010?

 

[BirdUp]

 

[Dolomite]

Score was 85%. The MtF freakazoid selfies are burned into my retinas now.

(Edit: I deleted my card; better safe than sorry!)

 

[TenMilesWide]

I consider this a failing grade.

 

[CoolFool]

It sucks this site was made by a troon, the cat cards are pretty cute.

Thanks to your help I can claim the first 100% of the thread. I just want to fuck up this tranny's sample if this is truly an attempt to "own da twansphobes"

I decided to delete my card to not feed into the tranny scheme

 

[No Batty Boys in Jamaica]

I got 95% on first try.
If anyone doubts me, I will DM you my card.

Many of y’all are scoring a bit low because you were thrown off by cis women with PCOS beards.

We should use the honor system instead of posting the cards. I think the codes might be for tracking.

 

[Fireman Sam]

My assumption is because the website is called "we can always tell", it's supposed to show how transphobes can't always tell because otherwise our scores would all be 100. This person has a github page that has a ton about gender science/ideology https://bethylamine.github.io

They also have a specific tab called "we can always tell" that links to this article by Katie Montgomerie that makes the claim you can't always tell if someone is trans https://katymontgomerie.medium.com/no-you-cant-always-tell-a5967cc55761

So no I don't think this is meant to out any trans people or to train people to spot the difference, I think they're just trying to make a point.

I'm inclined to believe this, and I doubt the validity of half of these pictures to be honest. I can imagine some troons would upload pictures and claim "I've always been a real girl"
