        Good for them, but Boing Boing should be better than this misleading headline. They edited it to not be bigoted and he got upset.

        How is literally changing what he wrote ‘tricking’ him?

        Apparently he didn't notice they had changed it when they sent it to him for approval, according to the article. (It would've been nice had he not misgendered her in the first place, but there was a lot of that going on throughout the campaign.)

        I’ll bear in mind I can’t trust anything the Washington Post quotes someone having said now. Thanks for pointing this out!

        Not really sure what your point is. He approved the editorial change.

        He made the mistake of believing they would quote him accurately. They did not. They literally changed what he wrote to suit themselves. How often does the WaPo do this and it not go viral so people notice?

        This may come as a shock to you, but newspapers make editorial changes all the time, and changing "Danica" to "Ms. Roem" seems like a perfectly reasonable one to make, so I'm not sure what your point is.

        Fair enough. I have issues with it. You don’t. Things to bear in mind.
