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.

From looking at the Dailymail article you showed, it seems that this family really had it all together...ROFLMAO!!!!!
Yes. Rather than a random ‘hate crime’ it appears to be a targeted attack on someone in the club.
Props to the veteran who was there and disarmed the kid, then beat ‘they’ with ‘they’s’ own gun.
I believe the ‘new rules’ are reporters have to go back and correct these old stories. Ellen Page is now “Elliot Page” and to say otherwise is to ‘dead name.’
Yep, some of the comments on the article are funny, too. I can’t help wondering how long before Biden swipes the slimy father’s stage name.
The presenter and staff should be FIRED!!!!!!
lol...yeah, you’re completely correct.
Did you catch one of the victim’s names? Last name Rump... You can’t make this shit up.
Depends upon whether you lift your leg or squat.
“Him and me had a beer”
That’s just poor grammar. Not the same.
Sure. But the effect is exact same no matter how you get there.
When kids can’t even get that simple grammatical construction right, imagine when the new woke rules throw out every rule of grammar and there are no holds barred. The language will be incomprehensible.
CNN is joining in the hate crime of mis-pronouning the perp:
