“Our D&I Chairs are consulting several stylebooks to update The Daily’s style guide, including but not limited to the AP Stylebook, the Asian American Journalists Association Style Guide and the Trans Journalists Association Stylebook and Coverage Guide,” the editors wrote.
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.

The Trans Journalists Association Stylebook and Coverage Guide
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. They are what I learned in my esteemed position as editor of our high school paper: Who, what, when, where, why, how. Just the facts. Inverted pyramid with important stuff first. Plain English.
For example, the guide tells journalists to avoid using the terms “biological male” and “biological female” because they are “often used by anti-trans groups to invoke a person’s assigned sex at birth as their ‘real’ gender, in contrast to their gender identity.”
Does this mean that they should flat-out call a man a woman?

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 »

So trans woman really meant fake woman. Clear as day.

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.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Wow, am I old.

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?
Because the nuns taught us proper capitalization?
Why can’t these people act their chromosomes?

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!
