Facial Recognition Has a Gender Problem

Is facial recognition software transphobic? Controversial tech ‘has a gender problem’ Jasper Hamil Wednesday 30 Oct 2019 4:48 pm Facial recognition software cannot accurately assess the gender of trans people, a study has claimed. NOOOOOOO!! STOP MISGENDERING ME!! 0110101010111010 10000101010101010 01010101010

A news-style screenshot claims that facial recognition software struggles to identify the gender of trans people. Below it, a red-haired screaming Wojak angrily complains about being misgendered, while a gray binary-coded figure represents software that only understands gender through simplistic machine logic. The joke mocks both the sensationalized headline and the idea that an algorithm can meaningfully understand gender.
