Before she paired with Biden and started eyeing the presidency, Kamala Harris wasn't a million miles from that position.

ChatGPT seems to be strongly primed against transphobia. I've tried prompts that stress test its ethics and one was where it had a binary choice between *murdering* one person or publicly misgendering another, no other options.
