New women-only social media app to use AI to determine gender

2 min read

In this world where certain men can be unfortunate creeps, it kind of makes sense that women get given a space where they can feel safe and out of the harm of predatory men. While most of this space is physical, the internet is unfortunately also one large preying ground for creeps such as this and so I guess it’s inevitable that one tech company wants to solve this problem by allowing women to interact with one another without men present.

Called Giggle, the company pitches itself as a girls-only networking platform. To sign up, users have to take a selfie. And while that might not sound too invasive, the app then uses “bio-metric gender verification software” to determine whether that person is a woman or not. Something which means that the algorithms mightn’t work if you’re a trans woman.

While I like the idea of a women’s only social media network, there are obvious concerns with the way it goes about authorising this and unfortunately, it’s likely to cause more problems than it hopes to solve. Especially considering a predator could easily use a picture of another woman for their profile pic to possibly bypass the algorithms. How it will be able to differentiate between an actual phase snapped by the selfie or another picture would be something they would need to try to solve.

The idea has kind of being torn apart by people on the internet who seem its lack of inclusivity for trans women as an issue. And some rather concerning statements in its privacy policy. In the end, with the way the world is moving towards greater LGBTQ acceptance, the best way to solve the problem is to probably not have any form of gender recognition and rather work on ways of identifying these people by the way they communicate than through testing for their gender.

    Just ask them to take a picture of their genitals. Problem solved. (Yes I know. You can debate me if you want but neither of us will get anywhere doing so)

    Hmm now that I think about it, maybe this is a long con and when the AI fails they will resort to the picture method. Has anyone checked if the developers aren’t a bunch of 13 year old boys?

    This would be a dream come true if this can actually be implemented and executed correctly, women and girls need an online safe space free of male judgement and harassment. Trans women are not a part of the equation to help women as they are not female, they are biologically male and have no idea what it is like to grow up with a female body. They embrace gender stereotypes and expect to be invited into womanhood without knowing what any of it means- it’s not the hair or make-up, or pretty shoes and a purse. That’s not what a woman is. We have breasts, ovaries, periods, complex hormone cycles and a very different metabolism. These are real traits that cannot be “identified” with, and we have been judged and condemned and mistreated for all of them- just because we are female. That’s why we need a safe space from ALL men, not just certain ones that get to choose whether they are women or not because they “feel” like it.

    U know what i find hilarious about this app is they say men are creeps and predators to women but correct me if I’m wrong lesbian females also prey on women and women are notorious for cat fights aka arguements and starting wars. I mean at least us guys use logic but hey if they want the app let em have it ill watch them eat each other alive as they get zero likes and follows and then begin to crave male attention lol ???? because women need us men more then we need them we can survive without em but we rather not women are just crazy now a days truth bee told u got teachers complaining all women saying there job is hard and they need pay increases meanwhile the Karen goes to fast food in her Lexus owning a house complaining about her latte asking for it to be redone meanwhile while she sucks the thing dry as we make a new one . maybe we should cut teachers pay and women funding pay and show them how hard men have it in life vs them
