I got that, but the people on this thread are still about 50% on either side of what it is.
The Press could be clear but then they never are.
Perhaps the proper pronoun should be “dead”
No criticism of you meant or implied - it took me a while myself to figure out if this killer was male or female, just because so much of the press is so unreliable.
If they’re dealing with a situation in which they want to make the transgenderism phenomenon look good, they’ll use a person’s “new” pronouns and new name and new identity.
If doing the above will make transgenderism look bad, as in this case, they revert to original pronouns and original names and actual identities.
But not all of them will, and with the terms “trans-male” and “trans-female” inherently confusing, most normal people just have to throw up their hands in confusion.
