New research reveals facial recognition softwear misgenders transgender and nb people

Well colour me surprised! www.forbes.com/sites/jessedamiani/2019/10/29/new-research-reveals-facial-recognition-software-misclassifies-transgender-non-binary-people/

Well men tend to have squarer (is that even a word?)-chins and jawlines with sharper lines, while women tend to have a more curved looking jawline and rounder chins. That is probably the biggest giveaway.

There's that, Tracey, and men have more prominent browbones - I think that's one of the things that might causing transmen to be 'misgendered' ie correctly sexed even if they have facial hair.

Computers are not socially conditioned to be nice

Software cannot recognise innate magical gender identity. Computer misgenders many people, does computer end up in court? Is computer forced to use opposite sex pronouns? Is computer forced to apologise or be exposed as a literally violent piece of software that insists on correctly sexing human beings.

How completely unsurprising that a software programme misgenders humans.

Computer says no...
