A Pittsburgh radio station is again under scrutiny after one of its reporters called Department of Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine, a transgender woman, sir at least three times during a Tuesday press call.
The incident happened while KDKA-AM personality Marty Griffin was asking a question about what the states end game is for reopening after the coronavirus, according to the Pennsylvania Capital-Star.
A Pittsburgh City Paper transcript shows Griffin called Levine sir in both his initial question and follow-up, leading her to tell him please dont misgender me, and that it was really insulting.
Griffin later apologized on Twitter and said distractions caused him to use the wrong pronouns.

Honestly I wouldn't know what to call it.
And this freak is the state health director?!
I’m always amazed at what the American public tolerates.
Probably PMSing.
Misgendered or not, that is one Ugly style!
Address “her” as incompetent instead.
Dear Lord. That thing is positively demonic. I’ll be interested to see how important all of this tranny stuff is when we hit unemployment levels that top the Great Depression. All of that garbage is a really expensive luxury item. Poorer countries don’t sweat their pronouns.
Please dont demand crazy from me. would be one reply.
not the mental health director though?
That is one ugly guy!
In fact I think it’s worth the cost of a stamp to mail him a letter telling him, “You SIR, are one ugly guy”.
When your state health director is so stupid that he doesn’t understand something so basic (that he’s a male, which is different from female and cannot change) that even the folks at the home for the mentally retarded grasp, how can you possibly deal with a health crisis? Ever hear of deoxyribonucleic acid? Understand how it works and replicates? Not this guy. Probably not taught in school anymore either. That 23rd chromosome in the human genome is just too politically incorrect to mention.
This person should be in prison for the nursing home deaths...not acting like a victim.
He can call himself whatever he wants. I have the same right.
It's not appropriate to call it sir or madam -- Freakshow would be best.
Is that Ned Beatty in a wig?
You put THAT in charge of the health of the state?!
You put someone who cant even mentally reconcile the body they were born with in charge of the health of millions?!
Are you mad?!
That said - the reporter was rude. Had it been a transgender discussion or discussing the Doctors sex thatd be one thing. But bringing it up in a general discussion like this is just a personal attack.
That said, I admire the chutzpah.
Oh wait - that was HIM?!
