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 state’s “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 don’t misgender me,” and that it was “really insulting.”
Griffin later apologized on Twitter and said distractions caused him to use the wrong pronouns.

Touched by too many 10 ft poles!
His mental illness should disqualify him from a public health role. After all, he’d decide to take children with mental illness from their parents if parents seek counseling instead of surgery to mutilate the body to fit the warped mental image. Or, in some cases, say they’re a girl to get approval though it is NOT gender dysphoria.

Anyone asked yet who’s paying for Levine’s mom hotel room and care? Who’s paying to hold her old room if it’s being held...
Lots of questions to ask Levine...
That’s man, even if he can’t accept it himself.
LOL!
Worse, what kind of governor appoints as his health secretary someone who can’t even identify his own sex and biology.
The radio host in question has a long track record of being a provocative a-hole.
That being said, interviewers slip-up and make this mistake all the time. Instead of graciously blowing it off the Secretary chose to become indignant and virtue signal.
It doesn’t look all that healthy.
Dude, you’re a dude.
The mistake is to apologize.
Clearly a Beta dude.
Looks like an old hippie.
Is that a wig?
Pfft - I haven’t had a haircut in almost 4 months.
I almost look like this dude now and I didn’t take any hormones!
Dude. If you don’t want to be misgendered, you need to make a better effort.
‘And this freak is the state health director?!’
quite simply, yes...
His real name is Richard.
He...er...I mean she...inspires so much confidence.
How ironic that its original name was “Dick.”
>> “please don’t misgender me,”
Would you be willing to submit to a blood test to back up that claim?
