It's remarkable that they would put together this piece, state that they are "test[ing] new systems through the lens of inclusivity" and then immediately, proudly show a chart of their new system that specifically leaves no room for non-binary or transgender people. It's like they are going out of their way to say they will be inclusive with AI in regards to race but gender? No they will exclude people from this, anyone who identifies or presents as neither the binary male or female will be specifically excluded from being able to correctly this system. Yes it's nice that they write "gender presentation" rather than just "gender", as they know that is what they are trying to measure. But then why not let it train for "nonbinary" as well? Facebook can try as hard as they want, but their inherent bias against minorities will still show through.

"Facebook can try as hard as they want, but their inherent bias against minorities will still show through." Can you further explain how to create a system that shows no bias (positive or negative) towards any minority group? Is it as simple as don't ever categorize? Edit: I think this poster is a troll.

  Intersectionality is an essentialist power movement — an absolutely vile form of bigotry, which subscribes to the massively debunked notion of racial and sexual essentialism. That’s why they always talk in terms of tribes: they believe these characteristics define a person. There is nothing besides entitlement to discriminate against others that will ever be “enough”, and it shows through when people supporting intersectionality make statements like that. “Inherent bias” is just “original sin”, rehashed. It doesn’t matter what results they produce, an analysis of their actions is irrelevant! — don’t you know they’re just inherently biased?

You want the chart to show 50+ genders? I don’t think it’d fit. That’ll probably still discriminate against those who don’t feel included. Someone is always going to feel alienated.
