Why were all these trans people “assigned” the wrong sex at birth?
Seems to be as simple as knowing which bathroom to use by looking at the sign on the door.

Yes, makes me feel old, too. I just don’t get why traditional standards for news got thrown away. For news stories (not commentary and analysis like we usually write), the rules should be pretty simple.

You’re not old. You’re sane. That’s what is causing the cognitive dissonance over Trans Journalists Association Stylebook and Coverage Guide.

We both capitalized almost every word of that guide. Did we already take a sip of the Kool-Aid?

So, the adoption of tranny style guides basically ignores biology. Got it! This is no surprise. The mental disordered left has been playing games with definitions and vernacular for awhile now in alignment with their ridiculous mental disordered agendas. What was the word used to describe a person when a person would mutilate their body and “change” from male to female such as Richard Raskin/Renee Richards? The word was transexual. The left has manipulated it to transgender because of their sick attempt to justify that sex and gender are different things, which most certainly they are not. They claim sex… Read more »

No one should be a journalism major at Northwestern. They are the reason the media cannot be trusted. Altering truth in reporting to fit their left agenda. If it’s an opinion piece, label the article as an editorial.

These aspiring ‘journalists’ will never earn enough to repay their student loans that paid for their Northworstern ‘education’.

That’s OK. If a Dem gets in office, he or she can forgive their loans.

I love the irony of the trans journalists pursuing truth as a profession!
Can’t make this stuff up!
