“Fiction Influences Reality, But Does Not Directly Cause Reality” Is … Not Something I Ever Imagined

A brief lesson on why relying on generative AI for sex ed is harmful:

Okay Google, what the fuck is this?

This is so concerning... The Google Gemini AI overview is clearly so confused by the existence of trans men.

I'm not sure if it's better or worse that Gemini isn't even trying to answer the same question, but rephrased.

The phrasing "some straight women may be looking for something they don't have" rubs me the wrong way. Also, separating queer women from women in general is upsetting.

I'm conflicted on whether or not we should help Google with training Gemini, but considering how many people rely on Google for information, I've come to the conclusion that--for now--it is worth it to always hit the "thumbs down" icon underneath the generations that turn up poorly and describe in detail what's wrong with the result. 👎

After all, when we tell people not to ask offensive questions to transgender people, the usual advice is "Go Google it!"

As distrustful as I am of Gemini's results, most people that I've met are more than willing to accept its responses at face value. At the very least, the average user seems to accept it for a quick and easy surface level response.

The HRC and PFLAG have much better resources on LGBTQIA+ identity and how to support your loved ones.

having a degradation kink is so insane. i was having a hard time verbalizing what i wanted because he called me a “poor little thing” and instead of letting me recover, he doubled down: “god, i can’t believe you like being talked down to. that’s pretty fucking pathetic, only sluts like to be treated like this.” and then istg my eyes glazed over and i was GONE

sucks that "incel" is just like a generic insult now synonymous with "virgin" bc if people had much of an idea of what incel ideology actually entails, we could have a conversation about radical feminism being quite literally, beat for beat, incel shit for girls

My pet peeve about the 'I suggest forcefem' and secret egg jokes

I think we've forgotten that forcefem is an actual kink and that part of kink, even CNC like forcefem, is that anyone you're exposing to it is consenting. Random bloggers are not consenting to having your kink suggested to them, even as a joke, it's really weird and uncomfortable.

Notice how there aren't gimmick blogs associated with other CNC practices? Because people generally know it's kind of rude to go around bringing your kink to people's attention especially to 'suggest' they take part.

But I guess you're just forgetting forcefem is a kink because the idea of being forced to be a girl is either hot to you or just 'kinda funny and not serious' because it's just femininity/being a girl which has never and never will cause any harm because of how soft and pure womanhood is right?

On top of that there's a fairly large population of trans men, trans masculine and trans neutral people on here who (unless they happen to have that kink or are particularly unbothered) probably don't want to have someone go 'the answer to this issue, problem or other statement is to allow someone to force you to be a girl'.

Inciting some kind of dysphoric or uncomfortable reaction in anyone even a cis person is a huge dick move even as a 'joke'. Just because it wasn't made to be taken seriously, doesn't mean it's not someone involving unconsenting people in their kink.

In the same vein people shouldn't have anyone questioning their gender and going 'haha you're probably trans!' especially when it's mostly 'you are probably trans femme'. Tell me you don't understand or appreciate gnc men, feminine trans men or men doing anything not commonly associated with being masculine without telling me. Not everything is a sign someone is actually a girl and if it is, you might push her way back into the closet by making it your business like that.

Basically it's really rude and inappropriate to play with people's emotions like that, especially involving a kink as part of it, just because you're not bothered and find it funny.

Some of you need to stop treating gender like sports. Just because you support trans men/mascs doesn't mean that you hate trans women/fems. This isn't like football where if you love the Steelers, you have to hate the Eagles, else you're a traitor to Steelers fans.

We can support many genders without hating others.

buzzcut forcemasc is all fine and good but what about metalhead forcemasc. maybe you’ve had long hair all your life, maybe you haven’t, but then you meet a guy who teaches you how to grow it out. how to take care of it. he shows you how to talk loud and headbang and take up space, and when your hair is all grown out he runs his hands through it and drags you by the roots to stand tall in front of a mirror. this is who you are. doesn’t it feel good?
