The paper introduces a unified framework that simultaneously measures intrinsic (encoded) and extrinsic (expressed) gender bias in large language models using identical neutral prompts. It finds a consistent link between latent gender information and output bias, but shows that alignment via supervised fine‑tuning reduces expressed bias while leaving internal gender associations largely intact and reactivatable by adversarial prompts. The study also demonstrates that debiasing gains on structured benchmarks may not transfer to realistic tasks such as story generation.
The study introduces GAPA, a dataset of 316 physical attributes with 14,706 gender-association ratings from 304 US annotators, showing that such descriptions carry structured gender associations. It evaluates 16 LLMs, finding they partially mirror human ratings but exhibit biases such as compressed distributions, weaker alignment for men, and asymmetric abstention toward non‑binary identities. A proxy model trained on these data is released and applied to analyze character descriptions in LitBank, illustrating the persistence of gendered interpretations in ostensibly neutral language.

The study investigates how speech‑to‑speech (S2S) models handle gender, distinguishing between the acoustic voice and the content’s gender cues. Experiments across five models in English, Spanish, and Mandarin show that while the rendered voice remains unbiased, the models consistently attribute speaker gender based on textual content rather than voice. When content and voice disagree, misgendering rates soar to 90%, whereas agreement yields only 2% misgendering.
