Original Message Snapchat's new gender-swap feature has taken over the Internet, with users marveling over how the app transforms them into a member of the opposite sex. But social justice warriors concerned about the plight of actual gender-swappers are firing back, accusing Snapchat both of minimizing what its like to transition and of buying into the notion of the "gender binary."

A number of transgender individuals have complained to major news outlets, like the New York Post and the Guardian, about how the Snapchat filters turns transitioning gender into a game, and how the app "appropriates" gender transition and turns it into a game.

“My gender’s not a costume,” one transgender individual told the Post. “This story that I feel is very real. I lost a lot to be who I am, and I fought really hard for the body that I’m in.

“And when certain people post it and write about how silly it is and how goofy they look with this filter,” the person told the paper, “it makes light of the transgender experience.”
