A valuable lesson I was taught by a Freeper...if you substitute the word "fake" for "transgender" in the gender description...it all becomes clear. Such as..
"Katalina Murrie, a 31-year-old transgender "fake" woman..."
This doesn't always work. In this article, they never referred to the Coronado person as transgender man or woman, so Rule #1 above doesn't work.
Rule#2 would be... (This is especially true if the publication is a well known liberal rag.) What ever gender reference the writer uses thru-out the article, assume the opposite. For example, if the author uses the term man, assume it was a woman originally. If the author uses "he", assume it was born a "she".
That’s the rule that works best for me when interpreting articles about trannies. If a particular gender pronoun is overused to the point of ridiculousness then you know the subject is actually the other. In this case the article uses “he” about four times more than is appropriate which means the subject is really a female and the author is trying to virtue signal.
