Test if you pass, and how young you look without uploading your picture

It generally tags everyone with short hair as male and long hair female I think.

I tried my portrait photo in male mode. Yes. There are some errors, but also there are some trends, too.

Wow you had a naturally female face even pre-transition.

Oh, ÷°®{, no! I used that picture of me in a sports bra that I used to use for my avatar and it saw me as an 83 year old man! My seventh grade school picture it saw as a 31 year old woman. Worthless! Should have known, it's Microsoft after all.

27, 24, 15? Quite a range for me I guess. Unfortunately it kept assigning me as female. But that's not really surprising since I'm pre-T still.

[Dierdre Lenore]

I got female and 10 years younger!!!!! 

[Jessie Ann]

Depending on the picture I get anywhere from my actual age and gender  to being a 20 year old girl 

For giggles I took my Microsoft 20 year old picture and ran in through PicTriev (face not found) and ReKognition (female 27.67 years old).

I used my avatar photo and got Microsoft (female 37 years old)  PicTriev (100% Female 40 years old)  ReKognition (female 42.4 years old)

Not bad for someone who's almost 54 and only been on HRT for 2 months

I tried some photos of my little daughter at age 10. The results were 13-33 years old, disappointing me.
But sometimes surprisingly accurate when I tried some photos of my male friends.

A sad fact is that most of my male colleagues acclaim my wearing men's formal dress, commenting that I look like a handsome guy, insisting that I should wear it everyday. That always makes me stressful. Nowadays, I never wear men's dress at any circumstance.

I notice it is very sensitive to facial hair. When I have no visible shadow, I am gendered female and my correct age. With a slight shadow it puts male and a couple years older.

Pictriev does the same thing to some extent. Rekognition tends to gender me F more often than not, regardless of a slight shadow.

These sites really dont work. I varied from 23 year old 'female' to 45 year old male. Im 25 and certainly not female

hm not the case for me.. the first pic I used was my latest pic taken the other day (av) and it comes out as female.. It ignored mine then, at least for that pic. The ones that gender is right are all not far off doubling my age. Using pre-T pics with no facial hair at all it is still gendering male, then one with it genders female.. I highly question how reliable this kind of software is

[AeroZeppelin92]

I thought this was funny, I ran a comparison picture I made a month ago through it, Pre-T on the left and 8 months on the right. It got the gender correct I suppose haha. Although I'm 23 (technically was 22 in the pictures).

[iKate]

It was accurate with a full frontal shot taken with a proper camera:


But a side profile with my iPhone it was a couple years off

OMG LOL! Anyways ur so handsome now!

I don't understand why anyone gives these sites any credence for good or bad.

We are 3 dimensional beings, it's a lot easier to fool these 2 dimensional face recognition algorithms with the right lighting, gender presentation and photo angles.

I could put a wookie with long hair on these sites and still get it gendered female.

(Evelyn shrugs)

[Lady Smith]

But the Wookie might actually be female.......

Because of fear? The need for validation? I know it impacted my feelings. Apparently it did the same for many others

Oh that's cool. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to ruin anyone's fun. Personally, seeking validation via artificial means I'd sooner rather ask a magic 8 ball of its high opinion of me or not. Or check my mood ring.

I know society isn't nearly as forgiving where it really counts.

You're telling that to a girl who hasn't posted her picture and totally believes she needs FFS before transitioning.

Like - uh, yeah, I agree with you, not just with words but with my actions!

I've got good "reality testing skills" as I remember reading about from someone who argued for insurance coverage for FFS. There's a cold hard truth out there. But the online tests allow us to soften the blow. I find that valuable, at least for me.

Apart from seeing how an unbiased robot sees me, I am interested in the technology.
