Wanted to bump this – seen lots of folks experiment with tools for AI-powered virtual try-on, but this is by far the most promising one I've come across. Love their tasteful approach ↓

Being obsessed with repressing women is goofy. Trying to watch what LGBTQ+ people do all the time is abnormal. Punishing people who don’t have biological offspring is creepy. It’s an incel platform, dude. It’s SUPER weird. And people need to know.
This whole “they’re weird” argument from the Democrats is dumb & juvenile. This is a presidential election, not a high school prom queen contest. It’s also a tad ironic coming from the party that preaches “diversity & inclusion.” Win on policy if you can, but cut the crap please.

As someone who was a juror/foreman for a murder trial last Fall, I agree! Everyone needs to see how the justice system works up close
