“Each week, I document my gender transition by uploading an image of my bare chest on Instagram. Since the platform doesn’t allow female nipples, the question is: when does my body fit the social media site’s definition of womanhood?
After running the project for 10 weeks, I decided to give my followers an additional insight into how gender classification algorithms work. While we await Instagram censorship, I provide results from various publicly available gender classification algorithms, e.g. by Amazon and the Alibaba-backed face++. This gives a continuous look into how computers attempt to classify human gender.”
