Some leftists reacted to the horrific killing of children at a Christian school in Nashville by a transgender-identified culprit by complaining that the killer was being misgendered.
Yes, really.
28-year-old Audrey Hale murdered three children and three adults at The Covenant School, a private Presbyterian school, in what appears to be a hate-motivated attack.
As we highlighted earlier, the media’s initial reaction was to express “confusion” about whether they should refer to the culprit as a man or a woman, given that Hale had been identifying as a man in recent months.
Some trans activists on Twitter appeared to be more upset over the mass murderer being misgendered than the actual shooting.
“5 times @cnn misgendered. No correction, whined Karen Lopez. “A mass shooting is horrible. Misgendering does not make anything better.”
“It seems like maybe there’s plenty of confusion about whether or not the shooter is a transgender man or woman,” she added. “And finding out that the police there don’t know how to use the right words does not shock me. But mixing genders in the same story is still a problem.”
Update: it seems like maybe there’s plenty of confusion about whether or not the shooter is a transgender man or woman. And finding out that the police there don’t know how to use the right words does not shock me.
But mixing genders in the same story is still a problem.

A statement issued by the Transgender Resistance Network demanded the media “respect the self-identified pronouns” of the mass murderer.

Another trans activist was also upset that the child killer’s pronouns weren’t respected.
“Another day, another mass shooting. The shooter has been identified by his deadname,” tweeted Spencer Bergstedt, J.D., who has “he/him” pronouns in his bio. “It appears he used he/him pronouns & was a former student at the school. Of course, MSM & the LEO’s discussing the issue are misgendering the murderer. I’m sad & angry on so many levels.”

“OMG, they misgendered a fuckin mass murderer. When will the hate ever end?” responded one Twitter user.

However, other respondents seemed to share Bergstedt’s anger at the egregious act of misgendering.
It took me way too long to find out he was a trans man. Everything else continuously deadnamed and misgendered. I thought he was a trans woman at first, as did a lot of folks in my trans+ community.

You know mass shooting isn't a reason to spread transphobia, right ?
Misgendering isn't an option, what the person did doesn't matter.— Tali ? (@GuildmasterTali) March 27, 2023
