Well, it was way off on my age, but it correctly gendered me ad female. Which I find quite impressive as I am a transgender woman, I've only been on hormones for 4 months, and most humans aren't even correctly gendering in me yet.

More than anything, I'm curious to know what features it was that registered me as female. Was it as simple as the long hair, or some complicated subtle mix of many small details?

I've been on hormones for a little over two years now. Submitted several pictures from the last few months: it's consistently gendering me female (yay!) and a decade younger than I actually am (yay!), but it's saying that I'm ice cold "Hmm" (aw...).

What direction was it off on your age? I'm 31 (30 in the older pictures I sent), and it said I was 19-22 in all the pictures I tried.

Guessing gender is at worst 50% chance of getting it right. And long hair is one of the big features these algorithms learn.

How do you know it isn't guessing sex instead of gender (and hence it "sexed" you wrongly)?

This made me laugh really hard. What a positive twist on the fact that the algorithm is clearly a WIP.
