By documenting her transition every week on Instagram this artist shows the absurdity in how Instagram and AI classify gender and the human body.

    That was an incredibly interesting read and interesting statistics, as well.

    Her perceived femininity according to Insta/the AI’s shows an upwards trend throughout her transition, which I find incredibly fascinating.

    It also seems to go in predictable, recurring up-and-down waves.
    I wonder if that’s how the transition works, or if that’s how the AI’s work.

    You can’t actually tell someone’s gender from their physical appearance, … If you try, you’ll just end up hurting trans and gender non-conforming people

    CIS people too, which is ironic.

      I think the implication was cisgender people who are gender non-conforming. That term is often misused to refer specifically to people who are trans or nonbinary when it actually just means people who don’t conform to gender stereotypes regardless of their gender identity.

    In 2022, well into her project, Microsoft said it would retire its gender classifier following criticism that the technology can be used for discrimination. But Ada Ada Ada was able to continue using the gender classifier well after Microsoft said it would retire it. It was only after I reached out to Microsoft for comment that it learned that she and what Microsoft said was a “very small number” of users were still able to access it because of an error. Microsoft denied them access after I reached out for comment.
