A squabble over “misgendering” offered a surreal sideline to the horrific Nashville Christian school massacre as activists called out news outlets scrambling to keep up with the suspect’s preferred pronouns.
The “Ophelia” account tweeted: “I’m too f—ing tired to continue the perennial argument that it’s transphobic to misgender even the worst people in the world, but like. yeah. it is.”Meanwhile, the Metro Nashville Police Department continued Tuesday to refer to the shooter on social media as “she” and “her.”
He said police had also learned “Audrey was receiving help for an emotional disorder, but she had not been committed to an institution.” That included The Washington Times, where the editorial policy is, when possible, to use preferred “he” or “she” pronouns, and The Associated Press, which explained in its“For hours, police identified the shooter as a 28-year-old woman and eventually identified the person as Audrey Hale,” the AP reported. “Then at a late afternoon press conference, the police chief said that Hale was transgender.
“So now He/Him is female? I thought it was LITERALLY an act of violence and a hate crime to misgender someone?” Mr. Trump tweeted.
