I actually responded to that over on insta too. I think it doesn't add much to the discussion or clarify why it was posted.
caraessie fwiw, there's a difference between highlighting historic trans technologies that have been harmful (ie, the COGIATI, as you've mentioned) and putting the spotlight on dangerous tech like this, that only *hurts* and *isolates* trans people and is still very much on the rise. it's giving social support to a dangerous technology that capitalists are trying to make prevalent. Additionally, presenting it so uncritically does a disservice to the trans people who follow you. transtechnologies 2h. Author Thanks for the critiques @ainopihlak @sharp_things_and_angel_wings @kondad and others - these are really important points and I'm so glad you took the time to post them! I personally am also quite wary and critical of Al, particularly for trans support, and I agree that we need community, not Al. I see this account as an archive and a way to document the landscape of trans technologies, whether I think they will have positive impacts or not. I've featured other technologies before that I would not stand behind: NFTs, the Cogiati test, other trans Als. I think it's important to document what is happening in the trans Al space, so we can be aware of it. FWIW, TransFriend appears to be a prototype that hasn't been deployed, so I don't think it is actually being used by anyone or using up our planet's resources. Reply

things like this kill trans people, fyi
Post from transtechnologies TransFriend An Al therapy bot for trans people. transtechnologies This is TransFriend, a prototype therapy chatbot app created by @raivrainbow. She says: created this concept for a therapy chatbot to help trans people going through rough times. I know Al is kinda scary right now but thought something like this could maybe be developed into something good with the right ppl behind it but its really an idea. We need some kind of thing specifically made for us that can offer resources and support in these tough times for trans bodily autonomy." less
