    Nah, the drag stuff is fucked up. Misgendering people is a shitty thing to do regardless of the person being misgendered.

      You’re making it sound like it’s choosing to misgender her, it’s not. It’s not fucked up because it’s a text extruder making a mistake, there’s no good or bad intention here. It’s shitty because the current state of glorified hallucinating autocorrects is shitty, but not because evil Grok is choosing to do anything.

      Drag isn’t the same as trans. It’s a character. There’s a huge difference. Drag is performative. Trans is just about being honest.

      Misgendering a trans person, at least intentionally, is an asshole move. Misgendering a drag queen? Please. If you are unsure, they will let you know when you’ve crossed a line.

        Saying she isn’t a woman but is actually a man dressing up is misgendering her. Don’t misgender people at all, full stop; It’s not funny and it only perpetuates sexism.

        Likewise transphobes attack cis women all the time for not being their idea of what a woman looks like.

      These are the people who think homophobia is cool when they don’t like the person. They’d be racists in the 1960s saying “it’s okay to call them that when they are rude to me.”
