[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]It has now been determined by all news sources that the shooter was a biological woman, Audrey Hale.  Even her mother was quoted as saying, "I think I lost my daughter today."  Why on earth can't we call this murderer "SHE"?  I'm all for respecting people's pronouns, etc. - but frankly, that respect does not include murderers.  The posters claiming she is being "deadnamed" are ridiculous.  Even her mother acknowledges that her daughter was responsible for this horrific crime. [/quote]

Obviously this person can't be offended in any way. Insults don't carry much weight with the dead. However, the best information we have — coming from the police — is that the individual identified as male. While your refusal to recognize that has no impact on the shooter, it does reflect your attitude towards the trans community. Frankly, I have no tolerance for that attitude. You are not offending a dead person who can't be offended, but you are offending live people.

My "attitude towards the trans community"?  I just stated that I respect people's pronouns.  I do not respect murderers, however.  And that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the trans community.  [/quote]
