As Twitchy reported earlier, the Biden administration celebrated another first when the Army’s first openly transgender officer was indicted on charges of trying to provide American soldiers’ medical information to the Russian government.

Chad Felix Greene noticed that the Reuters write-up of the story referred to Jamie Lee Henry as “he” and “husband.” Well, the Reuters correspondent can explain:
Some folks asked me if the story on the ex-Army major misgendered the defendant. Today in court, the defendant used the gender pronouns he/his.

We realize that in 2015 the defendant came out as a trans female. But given the fact the defendant identified as male today, we used that pronoun (also used in the indictment) and mentioned the prior interviews identifying as female in our update. https://t.co/ze3A2qtmD1

“In our update.”

Is the defendant male or female?
Because we have pronouns for those things.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm serious. Thank you. No really….thank you. Seriously. I mean it. Thank you for real. Seriously.

I’m confused — the defendant referred to themselves in the third person?

Wait, he was a he, then became a she, and is now again a he? This coddling of people with obvious mental disorder is ridiculous.

Who cares? You do not have to cater to the whims of a delusional criminal.

You’re in a tough spot here, I get it. You don’t want to be vilified. “Trans” is usually very prominent in any article/report. Suddenly it’s not anywhere.
