Except this isn't a person walking into a place and being mislabeled by another person.
it's a computer that has zero concept of gender.
I don't think that being mistake for a different sex is even cause to be offended.
That person doesn't know and can only go only by what they have seen before.
- EthanHeilman 8y agoNot sure why you are making this about "being offended" or not. In some case a program makes mistakes --> a simple solution is implemented.
- jkaplowitz 8y agoThe mistake is being attributed to a human email sender as perceived by the email recipient, not to an AI, since it's an email suggestion. Many such email senders will know the recipient's gender better than the AI, and the recipient will know that. As for your broader doubt that misgendering leads to offense, that's a longer conversation than I can shoehorn into this thread today, but the Geek Feminism wiki is one of several good places to which you can turn to start learning about that topic if you want to. I'm a cisgender man myself, but I have heard enough personal stories from friends who aren't to know that misgendering can and often does offend.
- flagfeedingusa 8y agowow, the fact you refer to yourself as "cis gendered" means that no, in fact you are not a real man. please remove your testicles as clearly you have no use for them.
