Facial recognition software is a billion dollar industry, with Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook developing systems, some of which have been sold to governments and private companies. Those systems are a nightmare for various reasonssome systems have, for example, been shown to misidentify black people in criminal databases while others have been unable to see black faces at all.
The problems can be severe for transgender and nonbinary people because most facial recognition software is programmed to sort people into two groupsmale or female. Because these systems arent designed with transgender and gender nonconforming people in mind, something as common as catching a flight can become a complicated nightmare. Its a problem that will only get worse as the TSA moves to a full biometric system at all airports and facial recognition technology spreads.
These biases programmed into facial recognition software means that transgender and gender nonconforming people may not be able to use facial recognition advancements that are at least nominally intended to make peoples lives easier, and, perhaps more importantly, may be unfairly targeted, discriminated against, misgendered, or otherwise misidentified by the creeping surveillance state's facial recognition software.

They have already misgendered themselves, so no harm done.
Thats because the software is based upon biology, not fantasy.
Maybe they should take pictures of their genitals so software can make an accurate decision
No, people just don’t recognize their own sex.
If you look like a man, chopping off your willie isn’t going to make you look like a woman.
Is there ANYTHING these people won’t get their knickers in a wad about? For crying out loud, SOFTWARE that miscategorizes men masquerading as women? How in the world can software developers possibly write code that will say “That’s a man pretending to be a woman so let’s call IT a woman.”
Thats because XX and XY dont lie.
Wait until they discover that genetic testing is also bigoted!
“The machine has no interest in playing in a fantasy world.”
They are going to force the machine to play, just like they are forcing us to accept perversions as normal.
After tuning, the software will probably have a high failure rate misidentifying real men and women, but our complaints will fall on deaf ears. The trannies have somehow grown a powerful lobby.
DNA Testing Regularly "Misgenders" Trans People
Rule #1 of designing software is that it’s still impossible to read people’s minds.
“Whats the problem”
They need to adjust the arguments to the Face constructor.
Thats a feature, not a bug.
fixed it
The story isn’t that software and technology designed to detect and distinguish males and females works, the story is the absurdity that the LGBTQWERTY community is outraged about it.
Ben Shapiro was going on about this yesterday.
A male that transitions to “female” is a male. And remains a hurt, disturbed, unhealthy individual.
Etc.
Transgendered persons misgender themselves.
No - it doesnt.
It makes factual observations. Transgenders are the ones not living in reality.
tweak the algo so once it IDs a female it applies the the TAMB (that’s a man baby) filter and presto, all fixed.
As a blind, albino, dwarf, black, lesbian womyn, I am very miffed that it will show me as an older, bald-headed white guy.
What? Can’t tell Vegan Queer from Unisex Wiccan? How insensitive.
No. They “misgender” themselves. Lunatics.
Unless they have facial feminization surgery.
Basically they take the entire face apart and grind down the brow and forehead bone areas and other horrifying things...must be a horror show to see it done. Sometimes it requires placing a thin titanium plate over the altered forehead area to add strength.
60,000 to 100,000 cost.
The results can be astonishing though.
Notice the ground down forehead in this image...they cut across the scalp at the hairline and pull the flap all the way down to the top of the nose. Then they grind the skull down and if need be add a titanium plate...ouch. They also trasplant hair to make the hairline look like a female's
