There’s something deeply satisfying about watching the left’s cherished ideological markers being used against them. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is giving the mainstream media a taste of their own medicine, and it’s absolutely glorious.
In a delicious development, the Trump White House press office is flat-out refusing to respond to reporters who display their pronouns in email signatures.
Heck, yes. I love it.
This isn’t just some arbitrary policy. It’s a brilliant statement about truth and reality in journalism.
When confronted about this practice, Leavitt delivered a devastating response: “Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio clearly does not care about biological reality or truth and therefore cannot be trusted to write an honest story.”
Fact check: True.
That’s the kind of straight talk we’ve come to expect from the Trump administration. No beating around the bush, no kowtowing to progressive sensibilities — just plain truth served cold. I’m all for it.

Btt!!
I wish it would catch on!! Hopefully they keep repeating it.
She is not wrong..
I would probably extend this to people who have hyphenated names also.
Any woman wanting to use a hyphenated married name is not worth marrying. Run away from such individuals.
A mugwump by any other name would be a squishy.
Even semi retired I send/receive thousands of business emails a year and I have NEVER seen anyone “draw attention to their pronouns”.
So, I don’t understand how this can even be done much less HOW it IS done. Anyone who would care to offer up an example would be welcome to as far as I am concerned.

Dayum......that’s gonna leave a mark! LOL!
“Any woman wanting to use a hyphenated married name is not worth marrying. Run away from such individuals.”
Mrs. BBB333 kept he last name, no hyphenation..
It has actually worked to our benefit on occasion.
AND she’s a keeper!
Kinda like the LGBTQXYZ+++ bullsh*t.
“BBB333”
OK, I give ... Is that a reference to Phineas J. Whoopee and his “3DBB” (Tennessee Tuxido Show)?
A lot of people have hyphenated names for reasons other than including a maiden name.
Not as many here as in the UK, but some people here have them, too.
HOW it IS done.
Typically in the signature line and return address area near the end of the email
“Elizabeth Warren (she/her/ Native Hoodoo).

She is the best!
In some families, hyphenated names are simply an effort to retain acknowledgement of genealogical lines and names (usually illustrious ones) of people whose lines end with their death.
These names are generally inherited just as they were first hyphenated. Olivia Newton-John and Julia Louis-Dreyfus come to mind. They inherited their hyphenated names.
FWIW Karoline Leavitt is still going by her maiden name.
I respect only those in the instance of Hispanics, whose cultural history from time memorium has used such practice.
However, they do so with the imporatnt distinction of using “de” and not a hypen; for example: Señora Maria Agurto de Florencio, meaning Mrs. Maria Agurto, (offspring) “of” Florencio. This is actually a practice of respect to both families.
As is typical to “feminists,” and especially American feminists - there exists this damnable obstinancy to assert, not unity with her husband, but rather a obtinate and insulting independnece from her husband. IOW, a mockery of what marriage actually signifies.
Olivia-Newton-John-John.
Soon, we will be just like Spain. Recognize this famous guy?
