Title
A little bird told me your gender: Gender inferences in social media
Abstract
•Inferential analytics may reinforce existing biases about gender stereotyping.•In a N = 109 pilot sample, 19% of Twitter users were misgendered.•Gender classifiers are binary and do not account for other than male/female gender categories.•LGBTQAI+ community members and straight women may be more often misgendered than straight men in social media.
