    Alternative ending: “Now pull down your pants in front of this camera so we can use an AI algorithm to identify your gender. Don’t worry, the software is approved by the govonment and the pictures are processed by secure servers… Few days layer news headline: Big data breach, thousands of secure photos leaked”

    Basically same as age verification photo scans at this point.

        Theoretically yes, they are supposed to be as uniquely shaped in finer details as the finger print on each of your fingertips, because of the nature of the ontological process in which they were formed when you were a developing fetus.

        Well theoretically anyway, I’m not sure if there’s any study that’s already done where someone actually tried to verify if that’s actually true in reality. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it is true though.

          I know it’s true of both ears and anuses, but I haven’t seen any studies about genitals. At a guess I’d think they’re too flippy-floppy for you to be able to reliably identify enough landmarks to use as unique identifiers.

            Propably hair will render the scan useless.

            So for this to work we would need a government enforced pubic shaving policy for all genders.

        I guest that just makes for an even worse case for face scans than genitals scans. But if genitals scans are linked with name and address (because of cause they would be right) Im not sure what is worse then.

          LMAO I guess at least genital scan would have the upside that people can’t easily take a scan of it without your active authorization, because everybody keep their genital covered at all time, and laws preventing attempts to “scan” it without authorization is strictly enforced. Whereas facial scans can be done by anyone in a public space without any authorization and consent.

          But it does still have the same downside as facial scan, that if your genital scan data does get leaked you can’t just replace your genitals like you could replace a compromised password lol
