Fretting Over the Pronouns of a Mass Murderer

Posted on March 29, 2023 by Baron Bodissey





I assume that everyone already knows who Audrey Elizabeth Hale was, and what she did at the Covenant School in Nashville on Monday morning.

What I find interesting (and entertaining) is the way the legacy media have been tying themselves into pretzels over the shooter’s pronouns. Yesterday I heard one newscaster apologize for his station’s misgendering of the killer during its early coverage of the massacre, before it became known that she was a he. I wish I’d saved a link to that video; I don’t even remember which network it was.

I just read an article in The Tennessean — which is well-known for its progressive editorial slant — that couldn’t make up its mind how to handle the issue. Mostly it just dodged the dilemma by not using any pronouns, simply referring to her as “Hale… Hale… Hale…” over and over again. It was awkward.

However, the writers of the article (it takes at least two to put together a news report for The Tennessean) slipped up twice and said “she”, while on multiple other occasions calling her “he”.

They couldn’t make up their tiny minds.

I even saw one progressive contributor on a forum reprimanding other posters for misgendering the Killer Chick, reminding everyone how important it was, even in these sad circumstances, to use a creature’s preferred pronouns.

In the bright shining Utopia that is 21st-century America, you can’t make this [odiferous material] up.
