#2I think they're all pretty bad tbh. They aren't very good at guessing age, and guessing gender is harder especially if you're young or have rounded features.

#3The truth has value in itself.

#4> This could become a safety issue in the future if a robot misgenders a trans person publicly...
This bit confused me. First off, how is that a safety issue? And second, how is that any worse than if it misgenders a non-trans person? I can understand it being annoying (as I am often mistaken for a woman when on the phone or in the drive-thru) but how is that a safety issue or strictly a trans issue?

#5Google already misgenders me and that's a good thing. I'm not trans. Google also doesn't bracket me in the correct age group.
I am cool with it because, I don't like being pigeonholed and advertised to. The more incorrect data points Google has, the better.

Think of trans people in red states, or places like Russia or the middle east.

But that just means you've been put in the wrong pigeon hole. :)

Yes, and that's better than being in the right one.
Please Google, advertise more Russian brides and male belly fat solutions to me. I can't get enough.

If that's your pigeonhole, I can see why you wouldn't want to be tracked :)
