On pronouns.
@JessDeWahls @jk_rowling @BBCNews For an exercise, we did this.

In July 2023, Marla-Svenja Liebich was sentenced by.

Of course this is true. And it’s a point that we’ve put to editors. We should all demand it.
If it's possible to write an article about menstruation without a single word relating to sex - disappearing girls entirely - it's possible to write an article about a trans-identifying man without using sexed words - thus _as a bare minimum_ avoiding suggesting he's female 1/2.

By @jk_rowling on BBC self-ID. The BBC is not alone, but it has a unique public duty under the law. It’s well over time to default to accurate language, and drop BBC compliance with activism over legal and material reality. The BBC does not know better than the Supreme Court.
The BBC calls a male neo-Nazi ‘she’, because their absolutist belief in gender identity ideology means any man - rapist, voyeur, terrorist, murderer or paedophile - must be described as a woman the moment he says he’s one.

Why worry about pronouns? Why do they matter?. ‘When she entered the women’s changing room’. is very different to:. ‘When he entered the women’s changing room’. Readers, viewers and listeners are policy- and decision-makers. The media frames the issue for them. This is why.

Still stuck on this. ‘Liebich appealed against her sentence and lost’. How hard is it to say ‘the’ instead of ‘she’?. And so on, all the way through. It’s a choice. ‘German controversy surrounds jail term for transgender far-right extremist’

Marla-Svenja Liebich was sentenced two years ago to a total of one year and six months in prison without parole.
