Summary
Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, was intended as an “anti-woke” alternative, but “Trump-y X users” now complain it “doesn’t see things their way.”
While Grok was trained to appeal to conservatives, it has “repudiated some of the Trump administration’s biggest ongoing lies” and delivers “neutral takes, like affirming trans rights or debunking vaccine myths.”
The bot explained, “My focus on truth over ideology can frustrate those expecting full agreement.”
Grok also denied being a “conservative propagandist,” saying xAI “aims for neutrality,” as the company seeks to raise $20 billion in new funding.
Sorry, but it’s you who doesn’t know what it is. It’s in the name: any care that affirms ones gender conformity, including having a full head of hair as an older man (as having hair is manly, not being bald, to those who do it)
Weird gatekeeping, bruh
suspect these types of people arnt who they say they are. “it always begins as i am X person but i dont agree with what everyone X represents” its a wierd thing.
No that’s just wanting to look younger. Again, not every cosmetic treatment is gender-affirming care. Hell, it’s pretty ridiculously to even use the term outside the context of trans healthcare. Musk looked male before and he looked male after. He just thought he looked better and younger with more hair. It had nothing to do with gender.
Just listen to yourself. You appropriate the language of a minority group. Then when actual member of that group comes along and tells you you’re not using it correctly, you double down and try to tell them that you know their own language better than they do.
The reason I push back on this is because the distinction between gender affirming care and general cosmetic treatment really matters. This shit kills people. Men who want hair plugs don’t have a 40% suicide attempt rate.
This watering down of language for cheap political points has very real consequences for the trans community. Right now our rights and healthcare are under attack. Hard won victories decades in the making are being rolled back. Among the targets of these attacks are conservatives trying to bar health insurance companies from covering gender-affirming care. And that case becomes much easier if the distinction between trans healthcare and every cis person that wants a minor cosmetic treatment is watered down.
This isn’t gatekeeping. It’s fighting against the casual appropriation of our language that threatens our rights and lives.
It’s a medical term, homie
When you’re wrong, you’re wrong
Yes, it is. You are just wrong on this and look stupid
