There have been several mass shootings by transgender individuals in the US. It is not the first time.The one time the media does not respect a transgender's choice of pronoun is when they go on to do a mass shooting.
Media calling this proud woman "he" and using his dead-name... That is a little hypocritical...
You are right, the bought and sold media is quick to change the channel(no pun intended) when it does not fit their narrative.
