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."
