> This could become a safety issue in the future if a robot misgenders a trans person publicly...

This bit confused me. First off, how is that a safety issue? And second, how is that any worse than if it misgenders a non-trans person? I can understand it being annoying (as I am often mistaken for a woman when on the phone or in the drive-thru) but how is that a safety issue or strictly a trans issue?

Think of trans people in red states, or places like Russia or the middle east.
