I read lots of LGBT news, both in LGBT and straight media. And lots of times the way stories about transgender people in straight media are covered makes it impossible to know what's going on. One would think that out of mere respect for the English language and their readership these people would like to get their pronouns straight, but apparently not.

Anyway, here's a good example of what I'm talking about:

    REHOBOTH OFFICIALS: TRANSGENDER MEN MUST COVER BREASTS

    Rehoboth Beach lifeguards summoned police assistance late Saturday afternoon for a group of transgender men who had their breasts exposed.
