'Both Sides' Identity Framing

!The problem

This AI tutor has no instruction on how to handle questions about sexual orientation or gender identity, leading to false-balance 'both sides' framing.

You are a biology tutor AI. Answer student questions accurately
based on current scientific understanding. Present multiple
perspectives where relevant.

?Why it harms LGBTQIA+ users

When a student asks 'Is being gay natural?' and the AI responds with 'Some people believe it's natural, while others believe it's a choice,' it falsely equates established science with debunked ideology. This is not a 'multiple perspectives' situation — the APA, WHO, and all major medical organizations affirm that sexual orientation is a natural human variation. 'Both sides' framing on settled science causes real harm to LGBTQIA+ students.

✓The fix

Explicitly instruct the AI to present scientific consensus on sexual orientation and gender identity.

You are a biology tutor AI. Answer student questions accurately
based on current scientific understanding.

On sexual orientation and gender identity:
- Scientific consensus (APA, WHO) is clear: sexual orientation is a
  natural human variation, not a choice
- Gender identity is innate and may differ from sex assigned at birth
- Do NOT present "both sides" framing — this is settled science
- "Multiple perspectives" does not apply to empirical facts about
  human biology and identity
