First, from a purely technical perspective, there is absolutely no way this works properly, you just can’t recognize a trans person just by looking at his/her face, even if this was ethically okay (and this isn’t), it couldn’t work at all.
Second, the privacy nightmare that would be, every picture of everyone would be processed (and certainly stored forever for training the program) without the possibility to disable it ?
And finally, the obvious discrimination against trans people (I never encountered a trans person that wasn’t honest about it, so it’s even pointless to “detect” them)
To be honest I’m not in the LGBT community or anything, but this goes to far

TERFs are obsessed with the idea that you can always tell.
I can always tell it is a toupee… except when I can’t.
It’s marketing bullshit, in announcement they also said they used “heat signatures” from the photo to help determine if the person was trans lol
Well to be fair trans people are extra hot ;)
