No, the idiot “journalists” don’t know which sex the child is.

[Jamestown1630]

One child, but the sex of the child is not known. There is nothing wrong with ‘their’ in that context.

"The reporter is a woman."

And what is a 'woman'? I've heard the name before but no one will tell me what it is.

One child, but the sex of the child is not known. There is nothing wrong with ‘their’ in that context.

.......

Appropriately it would be his ir her. Stays singular

[Responsibility2nd]

I’ve never been attacked by an otter.

I’ve been attacked by a beaver, but I won’t go into that.

Tranny kid?

Act of God?

[Responsibility2nd]

You can tease an otter but

If you don’t know the sex, it would be misleading to indicate ‘his’ or ‘her’ in a news story about a real person and actual incident.

Otters will kidnap the pups of others otters and hold them underwater until the mother pays a ransom of food.

Otters are cute. They look sweet and harmless. They aren't.

Yikes! Wildlife is mad about Haitians.

There aren’t that many Haitians in that area.

I think I read yesterday that an Asian woman was attacked by eight otters!

Maybe they are indeed rising up

[Blennos]

To my ear, if the sex of the child is unknown, it would be better to say “the otter dragged it underwater.” “Them” seems bizarre to my language sense.

“And what is a ‘woman’? I’ve heard the name before but no one will tell me what it is.”

An adult human female. Some USSC Justices can’t figure this out.

Louisville Slugger would work nicely. Is it legal to carry a baseball bat in public? Its my emotional support bat!

She had no problem saying “I’m the first Black woman” on the SC, in a recent interview.

So, I guess she does know the definition...

[READINABLUESTATE]

I know what you mean but “it” is reserved for animals and objects.

However...If I were into pronouns “it/the” would be mine.

Them is plural. How many children were pulled into the water?
