Giggle- CEO speaks common sense.......

[Pineapplemonkey]

Apologies for the DM link and if I've missed another thread on this but I think I'm in love with the CEO of Giggle! Shame it's in Australia but we can but hope more start speaking up.

Does it still weed out males with FFS?

GCers are accused of racism and being white feminists all the time and yet TRAs are actually racist and really vile about black women and it is never called out (except on here).

Does it still weed out males with FFS?

An important point is that the face recognition it's just an automation - it's not the rule. You're not "permitted if you pass".

The rule is no males. If any male did slip through the automation (or manual review), he's out if he's discovered. So there's absolutely no way a male can cause trouble, except by quietly spying. It may not be 100% secure, but the rules keep it a viable female space.

Right - it's women only. I'm white, btw, and I'm happy to be vetted if it keeps a safe space for women.
If you manage to pass the AI (which clearly isn't perfect, exhibit A), you're still a man invading a safe space for women

What I imagine happens is that all men and some women get flagged, and then they get reviewed. And I am super okay with that.
It does not threaten me one jot.

Although it is sad that we've having to prove our womanhood because of fucking men

I don’t disagree with excluding males, I was just interested to ask.

Acording to giggle the false negative rate is 1/500 women and the false positive rate for men is negligable.

Thank you for backing up my thoughts with statistics!

It was an issue with the light! I am not one of the one in 500
