Trans women are not allowed to use Giggle
It claims to enforce this by requiring users to “verify they are a female” by submitting an image to be analysed by AI
Giggle has a community called ‘Gender Identity’ for women who are de-transitioning only
The CEO/Founder of this flaming pile of garbage is a notorious TERF that made a name for herself after having a hissy fit about swimming pools
She’s currently trying to get a journalist fired (for calling her a TERF)
There are many more examples of why this is a terrible thing run by a terrible person, but I’m sure you all get the point.
EDIT: Just found an article where she doubles down on EVERYTHING
It’s definitely transphobic but I gotta say this is some impressive tech. The verification pic I took of my junk had pretty poor lighting and it still wouldn’t let me sign up. Not sure why it thought I’d be wearing glasses on my penis but w/e.
connect with girls to form a giggle
yay! it’s giggle time
sounds like it’s for 5 year olds
“Secured by gender verification” — Phrenology for transphobes.
The obvious response is an app that uses ‘AI’ to filter out white people
Or an app that uses AI to filter out terfs…
You could throw away the image and just reject any british IP addresses
Please shove phone down your pants to continue
Also who wants to bet their AI shits all over the floor when it has to analyse a black person’s face
thats probably at least somewhat intentional :(
who also wants to bet that it will let in some trans women but keep out some cis butch women?
New reminder (after the usage of facial recognition by the police during the protests of course, but also after the more recent twitter cropping thing) that most current AI computer vision software that exists have a racist and sexist bias. Joy Buolamwini and the now famous Timnit Gebru showed in 2018 that systems showing a >99% accuracy for gender classification were actually mostly evaluated on (and developed by?) white men, and that there was a 35 points drop in accuracy when evaluating on a black female dataset. Basically, if you’re a black woman, there is a >1/3 chance that AI will classify you as a man.
(They re-evaluated the same software in a later paper showing that, compared to a control group of products that were not in the initial study, the fairness of the systems exposed improved over time. So it seems that even when it’s through academic publications, bullying works.)
But with this app the additional problem is that the system misgendering someone will not even be considered as a bug, but precisely as a feature.
just used my own face for their ai recognition thing just to see if itd work and it fucking did lmao
i am now a TERF certified passing transgenderist
bruh really it didn’t work for me and i’m a c*s woman
nope. ur a dude. the TERF queens declare it. im sorry. you’ve been wrong your entire life, sadly misled by your parents and school friends and doctors and lovers, maybe for decades.
well im basically a bimbo so i guess you just gotta be a bimbo like me to get accepted
bimbo only app
Thats what happens when you base an AI on incorrect assumptions about people I guess.
dearest ceo of terf tech,
:get-in::gui-trans:
sincerly, :chapochat-trans:
The fact that Sall is literally reading this thread and absolutely seething is just :chefs-kiss:
Of course you’re from the Gold Coast, Sall. The jokes write themselves
Chapo.chat doesn’t exactly have a wide distribution so the most likely scenario is someone sitting at home, hitting F5 continuously for any new mentions.
Why call it ‘giggle’
Such a cringe name :cringe:
I’m discriminating against people. tee-hee
