just a soul whose intentions are good

I see a lot of people discussing ISFF and company's recent posts regarding the defense of sexual predators within the queer community at the cost of victim safety. and people ask,"why? what do these women gain by constantly going to bat for people exposed as abusers, predators, pedophiles, and rapists? how do they keep defending the indefensible?"

because this is why. they want to protect their own right to behave as they wish, to do whatever they like without consequence. if they muddy the waters enough, blur the lines enough, fearmonger enough, build the narratives up high enough, then nothing is there to tangibly stop them from doing horrible things.

they do not actually care about their fellow trans women, we have seen this time and time again - they talk at length about "callout culture" and "social murder", but find no issue in mobbing trans women that disagree with them and branding them as self-hating transmisogynists, they insist upon victim silence, they silence, scold, mock, fetishize, demean, and bully transfem victims of sexual violence. they ignore or participate in the abuse of the trans women around them.

they dont care about transfem victims of incest or pedophilia. they dont care about trans women suffering from debilitating intrusive thoughts or morality OCD. they dont care about trans women that have been forced into toxic dynamics or roles with their transfem partner(s). they don't care about transfems in the closet or transfems forced to boymode. they dont care about butch or masc transfems. they dont care about bi or straight transfems, or T4C transfems. they dont care about non-white transfems.

Yes I did!

Here is the updated list for anyone who wants to stay in the loop

Why might someone from a group of people that historically have been denied access to wealth, now brag that they have it?

“Rappers only talk about sex!”

Why might someone from a group that have historically been denied sexual autonomy now brag about their sexual escapades on their own terms?

“Rappers only talk about drugs and crime!”

TL;DR: On June 4, 2026, the Electronic Frontier Foundation published “Move Fast, Surveil Things,” confirming through static code analysis that Meta has already deployed facial recognition code to millions of Ray-Ban smart glasses. The internal “Name Tag” feature converts every face in view into a 2,048-number faceprint array and matches it against a stored database. An EFF researcher activated the feature in debug mode and watched the glasses detect a known face in real time. Meta’s spokesperson says this is just “evidence of exploration.” Exploration doesn’t ship to millions of devices. This is staging for launch, and internal documents show Meta planned to flip the switch while privacy groups were too busy to fight back. ...You don’t need a central database when every user builds their own local faceprint collection. The faces still get scanned. The biometric data still gets created. Meta just outsources the storage to your phone, and the legal liability to you.

But good news! There are things you can do to protect yourself and your community. As quoted from the article:

What You Can Do

Assume You’re Being Scanned

If someone near you is wearing Ray-Ban Meta glasses, treat it like a running camera, because it is. The small LED indicator that’s supposed to signal recording can be covered with tape, and Meta’s “always enabled” mode processes video without activating it [6]. The Nearby Glasses app can detect Meta Ray-Bans via Bluetooth.

Lock Down Your Meta Profiles

Name Tag matches faces against Meta platform data. If you have Facebook or Instagram accounts, set your profile photo to something that isn’t your face. Make your accounts private. Better yet, consider whether you need them at all. Every photo of your face on Meta’s platforms is training data for identifying you later.

Support the Legal Pushback

The EFF, ACLU, and EPIC are fighting this on legal, legislative, and technical fronts. Texas’s investigation proves state-level enforcement works: Meta paid $1.4 billion last time Texas came knocking over biometrics. Push for biometric privacy laws in your state. Illinois and Texas showed the way.

Don’t Buy the Glasses

Every pair sold expands the surveillance network. Meta has shipped millions already. Each one is a camera pointed at everyone else. If you own a pair, understand that the facial recognition code is on your device right now, and Meta can activate it with a software update whenever they decide the political moment is right.

Hey good news they're already quietly removed the code!!!!

Public outcry matters!!!
