Vanity: NBC Uses Wrong Pronouns for Gay Club 'They/Them' Gunman
Vanity

Posted on 11/23/2022 5:46:20 AM PST by TigerClaws

Looking online at the MSM stories from the past several days regarding the gay night club shooting and the reporters haven't corrected the 'misprounning' of the allged perp, Anderson Lee Aldrich.

Here's just one example from NBC News:

"The 22-year-old suspect was arrested by police who arrived within minutes, authorities said Sunday. He was arrested on suspicion of five counts of first degree murder and five counts of bias motivated or hate crimes."

Isn't this offensive to non-binary folks? Shouldn't the story be corrected to read, "They was/were arrested ...." ?

Someone should call them out for not following their own 'rules.' This will also 'rabbit hole' the story as it doesn't fit the narrative the MSM pushed for two days after the shooting took place (shooter was MAGA-loving right-winger Tucker fan).

AP Style Book recognizes "they" as a singular pronoun:

So the MSM using "he/him" is actually offensive now to non-binaries, such as this shooter, and all of the stories should be updated to correct being offensive to they.

Isn’t this a hate crime in some places these days?

Who cares? Special snowflakes referring to themselves as “non-binary” are even worse than trannies, at least the latter actually says they’re a gender instead of pretending nature just forgot with them.

This is in Rules for Radicals:

Make the other guy live up to his own stated rules of conduct.

Think about it this way:

ALL of the stories blaming the shooter as a Republican Trump-loving right-winger will have to go back and be rewritten to say “they/them” exposing the stupidity.

No one is going to refer to someone as they. The woketards are trying with all their made up words, but people aren’t buying it.

The DM uses its preferred pronouns:

“Colorado gay club shooter is NON-BINARY and uses they/ them pronouns, lawyer says - as it’s revealed estranged father is MMA fighter and PORN STAR named ‘Dick Delaware’”

I rather like being objectified, especially by desirable women.

Please note that my new pronouns are "It" and "That."

Who will be the first person jailed/fired/ for using the “wrong” pronouns?

These people have power over us. Certain select groups now tell everyone what they can and can’t do. They are our new masters.

Ok, s when I saw Non-Binary I thought Bi-sexual. Then I went to Dictionary.com and got this:

Many people are raised to believe that gender and sex are the same thing, and that there are two options available to us: male or female. But neither sex nor gender is inherently binary—the belief that people must be classified into one of these two categories.

So it sounds like he was not a white, male, Republican, MAGA, Hater, Christian after all. This story will disappear down the memory hole shortly. It does not fit the leftist narrative. This sounds like he was jilted by his gay lover.

“People aren’t buying it”?

People aren’t buying their corruption and destruction of English? The why do I hear young people say “Her went to the store” and “Him and me had a beer”?

I would have loved it if the judge rejected his ‘non-binary’ claim and said he/she would find out his real identity and sex if she had to personally extract some blood for a DNA test.
