We investigate the language of facial recognition research with regards to how they discuss gender, esp. trans identities and implications of facial recognition for trans and non-binary people. We highlight how choices phrases and citation do not draw on trans experience, and do not link to scholarship on trans identity ​(Thieme & Saunders, 2018)​. We conduct coding analysis of a corpus of approx. 20 research articles (2010-2020), and show how binary gender concepts are discursively manifest in AI scholarship.
