A female-only app has come under fire for discriminating against transgender women with its facial recognition AI.
Giggle, a social network 'only for females', which launched in early 2020, has since been the subject of complaints from transgender women, who told the Verge, that their requests to join have been denied by the app's facial recognition system, because their features ware not 'feminine' enough.
Oh dear, I bet the CEO is grovelling wretchedly in the teeth of the resulting media firestorm, and promising to...
Wait!
However, now Giggle's CEO Sall Grover, who is based in Queensland, has doubled down, claiming that there is no space on the app for 'men claiming to be women'.
*gasps*
Grover, who does not believe trans women are female (Ed: Like it was some kind of wacky fringe belief, eh? In fact, as Longrider points out, it's not even 'a belief' at all...), told Femail: 'The fact is, women of colour are on Giggle. Giggle is used by women of every race, religion and culture. The quality that Giggle users have in common is they are female.'
Look well, oh women, look well: this is how you draw a line in the sand and say 'Yhis far, and no further!'.
Grover continued: 'I understand that PinkNews will be writing an article in support of trans women with the belief that they are female, with the specific purpose to condemn Giggle, an app for females.'
She said that she hoped the article would point out that there are plenty of apps created specifically for trans people, which she fully supports, and added: 'All I ask is for is the same respect for female spaces.'
I think she knows full well that this is not the goal of the trans activists; they don't want equality with women, they want subjugation of women. But it sounds like she's up for a fight. Which is so very refreshing, isn't it?
At last, someone with the ovaries to stand up to the perverts!
