Gender Recognition or Gender Reductionism? The Social Implications of Automatic Gender ...
summary
Researchers conduct 13 interviews with transgender and non-binary participants (including three technologists) and find overwhelmingly negative reactions to automatic gender recognition: fears of surveillance, nonconsensual image capture, data resale, and emotional and physical harms from misgendering by a machine. Participants report that AGR systems encode a male/female binary that erases fluid identities. Recommendations include informing users, offering an opt out, letting people define their own gender, and using participatory, inclusive design or avoiding gendering when unnecessary.
