Welp. Looks like it's gonna be "Anthropic is now a de-facto chattel of the US Military and all your queries to it are now subject to their interference"

Knowledge of queer stuff is actively kept from us, and the descriptions of our experiences are often done by people outside of our community.
There's a lot of stuff about AI-generated image, video, or text "tells", but—as with good old Photoshopped images and emailed urban legends—the most reliable method is not to look at the content itself, but *find the original source*.
The source may show the content was:
- real but taken out of context (e.g. had a caption attached stating something false)
- real but unethically produced (e.g. posed/harassed wildlife)
- real and by an actual human being who should be credited
- originally from an ad agency, special effects artist, satire site, obscure TV show, generative AI, etc.
- called out as false by people in the comments

I can't believe that neither "Saturday the 14th" nor "Saturday the 14th Strikes Back" attracted any shoestring software companies to make a tie-in home video game as low budget as the movies.
It is 222 A.D. You are the transgender Empress Elagabalus, "call me not a man for I am a woman". Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1776. You are "Public Universal Friend", a transmasculine Quaker. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1906. You are Karl M. Baer, a trans man undergoing sex reassignment. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1930. You are Lili Elbe. Transitioning is new and experimental. (to be fair you did get a uterus transplant.)
It is 1966. You are in Compton's Cafeteria with a bunch of other trans people when the owners call the cops to throw you all out. You riot. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 1969. You are Marsha "pay it no mind" Johnson. You are in a mob-run gay bar when the cops attack. You throw a brick. There is a bit of a scuffle. Transitioning is new and experimental.
It is 2026. You are a transgender adult or child listening to the NYT and British Guardian claim this is the first generation anyone has tried transitioning in. Transitioning is new and experimental.
