I took the Transgender Implicit Bias Test and received a result of a slight automatic preference for transgender people over cisgender people. I was surprised by this result, as I believe that I likely have implicit biases that follow societal norms which, historically have been biased against transgender individuals. I was glad to not receive that result saying I was biased against transgender people, however, I am slightly skeptical. After taking the test, I went back and read that this particular test requires the ability to distinguish between the faces of transgender and cisgender celebrities. As someone who knows very little about celebrities, this takes away the biases that comes with easily recognizing famous people, and so I wonder if my result also suggests that I cannot distinguish between transgender and cisgender faces. If this is true, I would be comfortable with this idea, because I don\u2019t think it should be up to someone else\u2019s perception to determine someone else’s identity. Both cisgender and transgender individuals have a wide range of physical appearances, and many physical attributes that we ascribe to certain identities actually can overlap greatly, so in some ways using physical appearances to determine preference of transgender or cisgender individuals may be deceptive. I am glad to have received a result that suggests I am not biased against transgender individuals, however, I am skeptical of this result, and I think I still have a long way to go in fully aligning with the my implicit bias test result.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
