The study published in PLoS One revealed that 129 college students could identify the sexual orientation of individuals from 96 photos with accuracy rates of 65% for women and 57% for men. This suggests an unconscious ability to discern sexual orientation based on facial features, even when images were altered to obscure hairstyle. However, concerns were raised about potential confirmation bias in photo selection, particularly regarding the representation of masculine-looking women as lesbian examples. Critics argue that the study's methodology lacks robustness and fails to account for the complexities of sexual identity.
