Pronouns are retroactive EVEN WHEN DISCUSSING SOMEONE PRE-TRANSITION.pic.twitter.com/lgLLmGu5u1

The way you have written this story @nytimes centers the cis experience of "presumption of identity congruent with birth assignment".
You spent the majority of this article misgendering this girl so ...what @nytimes? You could do a "reveal" at the end?
This is bad praxis.
There is no reason to use 'he' in this story @nytimes because at no point were you writing about a little boy.
This is a story about a girl who spent the first 6 years of her life getting misgendered @nytimes, and the way you wrote it CONTRIBUTES.
Do you not get this @nytimes? When even articles ABOUT PEOPLE WE KNOW TO BE TRANS are —still— parsed with a presumption of cisness....
I get that you were writing this for cis parents of gnc children @nytimes.
That is not ok, but I get that.
The –way– it is written harms us
You could, @nytimes have referred to her as:
"Someone we had erroneously at the time presumed our son"
"Our AMaB daughter/child"
"they"
So much concern about safety, but what about the dangers of hormones and surgery? Transing kids hurts them. #AskMeFirst
This seems so incredibly sexist and backward it astounds me that anyone can write this nonsense in the year 2016. (2)
No sense of tragedy brought by binary options available to awesome kid. NYT: How could you publish this w/o context
The mother asked such leading questions--"Everyone will think you're a girl..." Couldn't she just say boys can like dresses?
I see nothing wrong with letting your child wear whatever they want. PLEASE DON'T GIVE YOUR CHILD HORMONE TREATMENT!
Article depicts horrifying child abuse by the mother, now cashing in with a book on her "brave" parenting that has confused child.
WTF? So he's so bent on wearing skirts and not being ridiculed that now he's a she? Give me a break.
This kind of degeneracy used to carry the death penalty. No trial. No jury. Just straight to execution.pic.twitter.com/2CUBoj0Xq4
