Okay, I'm just about ready to put some of you media peeps in the same intellectual class as Sarah Palin and George W. Bush.

Exactly what is it about reporting on transpeople that causes y'all to screw it up EVERY time despite having clear guidelines in the AP Stylebook that a fifth grader could follow?

Let's try this again shall we?

People, take out your AP Stylebook, turn to the section that says 'sex changes and you will see this:

transgender-Use the pronoun preferred by the individuals who have acquired the physical characteristics of the opposite sex or present themselves in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth.

If that preference is not expressed, use the pronoun consistent with the way the individuals live publicly.
