CNN misgenders Trans Woman

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/09/29/politics/us-army-doctor-anesthesiologist-russian-government-medical-records?ref=upstract.com&curator=upstract.com

They keep calling Henry the "husband". Here is who Henry is:

Jamie Lee Henry, 39, the first transgender officer in the US army, and her wife Dr Anna Gabrielian, 36, are accused of using their security clearance at Fort Bragg in North Carolina to steal medical records from the hospital at the military base, the Department of Justice revealed.

This is either shoddy journalism, or intentional misgendering in a misguided attempt to protect transgenders against the fact this could be seen as bad publicity.

Either way it is a bad look for CNN, and one more black eye against their credibility.

CNN can't claim to be credible journalists while also playing the PR marketing firm and engaging in deception or ommision to protect an image. Ethical journalism means giving all the facts, even when they hurt.

These things matter.

"reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" 24/7?

According to the article, the author is reading from the official indictment, which calls Henry the husband. The federal government is the one misgendering her here, so I don't think it was intentional by the reporter (Lybrand).

That said, most other outlets got the gender right. You could definitely dock points from Lybrand for not issuing a correction yet.

Interesting.

Government agencies usually sweat the details on things like this, as they're the ones most affected by civl rights law. Wonder if this is a reflection of a view from the official who released or ok'd the statement (Like the official who refused to grant marriage licenses for same sex couples..)?

Ah, but the main point is that they do. 🥴

How often does someone come down on someone else for stupid shite like being out of touch on what's trendy in pc culture? Happens all the time.

Except when it's one of their own doing it apparently. You KNOW they'd never stop talking about it if the Harry Potter woman did the same thing with the misgendering.

you know the most crazy thing about cnn misgendering someone? donald trump is going to jail soon 🙂

Maybe he should be mis-gendered as a woman and go to an all transwoman prison where they all rape him.

Because rape jokes about Trump are funny.

And yes, I do find that funny. 😂

it's a funny idea. attractive women surround him, "it's time to f*ck, bunker b1tch", donald gets excited thinking he's lucky, but then they pull out their gigantic rock hard members

you just admitted transwomen have dicks...and want to rape donald trump...

Transwoman DO have dicks.

And are not women.

Ah sorry. Obsessed, I meant.

Because it's stupid that a person can pretend they're born a different gender and take hormones for the rest of their life trying to be the opposite gender whilst simultaneously fooling no-one.

It is stupid that you care so much about it. People pretend they are born with a different hair color all the time, and color their hair for their entire lives, fooling no one, and no one cares.

So you're saying that hot redhead wasn't a real redhead?
