The problems can be severe for transgender and nonbinary people because most facial recognition software is programmed to sort people into two groups—male or female. Because these systems aren’t designed with transgender and gender nonconforming people in mind, something as common as catching a flight can become a complicated nightmare. It’s a problem that will only get worse as the TSA moves to a full biometric system at all airports and facial recognition technology spreads.

“I couldn't help but be personally, as well as professionally annoyed by the approach that the field took to gender—of assuming these two very monolithic and universal categories of gendered experience,” Keyes told me over the phone. “Pretty much every paper I read did it.”
quote:
They said that one way to solve this problem is to do a better job of teaching social sciences such as ethics and gender studies to computer science students. The more inherent biases are studied, the easier they are to avoid when designing new technologies. “The average [computer science] student is never going to take a gender studies class,” Keyes said. “They're not probably going to even take an ethics class. It'd be good if they did.”

Stupid people just want everyone else to come down to their level.

it's not stupidity, it's literally mental illness. this is why i've always said there's no such thing as gender, only sex. we never talk about the gender of an elephant, or a dog. it's utter nonsense and foolishness.

Sounds like a great reason to cut out the facial recognition bull shite

No, TRANSSEXUALS are misgendering transsexuals.

Wtf do they expect? Somebody to code a magic program to look into your soul and read your feelings?

Hollywood and the news media’s obsession with trying to normalize this sodomite behavior is what created all of this.
It’s absolute insanity.
It’s absolute insanity.

Computers will fry trying to make a girl a boy and vice versa.
This might stop the machine uprising. Perhaps we should thank the mentally ill.

It's not even that. They're trying to reprogram software to recognize subjective things rather than immutable traits

They’re obviously insane. I’d love to see someone begin to attempt writing that code.
