A long, tired pattern has once again reared its ugly head.. Black transwoman gets murdered.  Media misgenders Black transperson and we have to raise hell as media outlets drag feet on correcting the story.

Before I get started ranting about the latest example of media peeps misgendering transpeople, let's review on this blog for the umpteenth time what he AP Stylebook has to say about covering trans people.
