CNN 'Misgenders' Dylan Mulvaney
Tuesday morning, CNN pandered to its base by traveling to Kid Rock's bar in Nashville to "expose" him for selling Bud Light.
Tuesday night, CNN alienated the very viewers it sought to impress when it called Dylan Mulvaney a man.
Correspondent Ryan Young referred to Mulvaney as "he" in a segment discussing the backlash against Bud Light for teaming with the trans influencer.
“He, of course, is the transgender person they were going to sponsor and go along with, with Bud Light,” said Young.
“But didn’t like how Bud Light didn’t stand by him after all this,” Young added.
The segment drew the ire of frequent CNN allies, like the stooges at Media Matters. A sponge named Ari Drennen called the moment an “unbelievably bad CNN segment.”
“God damn, that sucked,” said another guy at Media Matters.
“What horrible coverage and the pundit couldn’t even correct the misgendering of Dylan. This makes me sad,” said another.
CNN is about to get called to the principal's office.
A person should not have to participate in the farce that's become Womanface, the appropriation of gender. The movement is inherently consequential to the physical and mental well beings of the participants.
And calling a trans person by the pronouns they demand enables movement. Thereby the only winning move is to not play.
That said, it seems that Young called Mulvaney by accident. He pictured Mulvaney as man, which he is, and instinctively used the words "he" and "him."
So, don't be surprised if Young and CNN apologize. Issue a correction. And atone for the speech crime.
