I can't, but human visual perception can be a subject to introspection to a high degree, and can be top-down overriden. That is, I can name at least some of the reasons why the person I'm looking at looks male/female to me, and in cases that are not obvious, I can step what I see through high-level, explicit reasoning, and the result actually informs my perception.
Also, to the benefit of my perception works the fact that human beings have shared brain architecture, and the way I see stuff is the same as everybody else, so whatever half-assed explanation I could give, it's intimately understood by other people. In contrast, ML models are completely alien to us.
