I took the Transgender IAT test, and my result suggested moderate automatic preference for Transgender people over Cisgender people. I was surprised by these results, not because I have anything against transgender people or I don\u2019t see them as equals, but I don\u2019t know any transgender people in my life and I don\u2019t interact with any transgender people on a daily basis, so I assumed my implicit bias might leave more towards cisgendered people since that is what my brain is more accustomed to. This makes me question the reliability of the test. With the transgender and cisgender celebrities that were shown, I was more familiar with a few of the transgender celebrities, such as Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox. Therefore, when their pictures were shown, I was very quickly able to identify them as transgender because I knew them before going into the test. I didn\u2019t know all of the transgender celebrities, but I knew more than I did the cisgender celebrities that were on this test. I would be curious to see the results if I knew more of the celebrities, or all of them. I think that part of this test is testing your reaction time as well, and not necessarily your bias towards one group or another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
