NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TND) — Several media outlets are facing pushback for pointing out that Nashville police "misidentified" the gender of the shooter who killed six people Monday at a private Christian school in Nashville.

The clarification earned outlets like USA TODAY and The New York Times criticism from conservative commentators and others.

"We do not care about 'misgendering' a school shooter that murdered children," a reporter from conservative outlet Townhall wrote on Twitter. "Only the mainstream media would worry about preferred pronouns at a time like this."

On Monday evening, The New York Times reported on Twitter that there was "confusion" regarding the Nashville assailant's gender identity.

"Officials had used 'she' and 'her' to refer to the suspect, who, according to a social media post and a LinkedIn profile, appeared to identify as a man in recent months," The New York Times wrote Monday evening.

USA TODAY similarly made the clarification Monday night.

Besides USA TODAY and The New York Times, liberal critics of the police's misidentification piled on news outlets for "misgendering" the suspect amid their coverage of the tragedy.

"5 times CNN misgendered. No correction," a Twitter user wrote Monday evening in a thread about the shooting. "A mass shooting is horrible. Misgendering does not make anything better."

So, does anyone know the actual “assigned” gender of anti-Second Amendment Mommy’s little Killer Princess?

[Delta 21]

Im sorry, what temperature did you say the child murderer was?

[Red Badger]

If this doesn’t show how utterly ignorant and insipid the Left is, I don’t know what will.............

[fwdude]

Let’s come up with a brand new identity: trans-murderer.

[Deo volente]

Misgendering?!
Oh, the humanity!
String up the offenders.

But seriously, glad that the police dispatched him/her/it/them so quickly to prevent the murders of many more innocent people. This creature had plans to shoot up a mall later on. The cops are heroes and should receive medals.

Two choices. XX or XY. Fairly simple. Butt who didn’t expect this 🐷💩?

[Cowgirl of Justice]

My friend’s husband calls them ‘transtesticles’.

Subject person was observed to be female at birth and later in life self-assigned as male.

"Sure, some children and teachers were murdered, BUT DID YOU SEE HOW THEY MISGENDERED THE PERP?"

[BenLurkin]

Born a girl

Died a girl

[READINABLUESTATE]

‘she’/’her’ now ‘was’/’were’

[FlingWingFlyer]

You nailed it there. So in the end, she was the big loser no matter what she called herself.

I'm sorry, what temperature did you say the child murderer was?

I imagine she is very hot now.
