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)?

> most humans aren't even correctly gendering in me yet

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