“The hosts’ comments about transgender athletes leave me feeling sick to my stomach.
On the most recent show, the hosts repeatedly used female pronouns to describe a transgender, non-binary athlete, despite the athlete’s clear statement that they use they/them pronouns. The hosts also commented that broadcasters should state the athlete’s “birth gender” when introducing the athlete.
These comments made me feel that the hosts weren’t treating transgender people with dignity and respect.
Please consider learning about transgender etiquette. For example, GLAAD has a transgender media reference guide that might be helpful.”
