Like Kevin, I also had used the images search for years to find images of the objects i was translating, but never thought of using it for something like making sure of the gender of people I didn’t know.

This idea is a brilliant example of lateral thinking!

Thanks,

Riccardo

However, I had never thought of using this to identify gender. That’s a great idea.
