REALLY!? Brianna Wu asks NY Times if they're FIRING somebody for publishing this about Chelsea Manning

Feminist and former Democrat congressional candidate Brianna Wu has a problem with something the New York Times published about Chelsea Manning, and wants action taken forthwith:

Hey, @nytimes. You're disciplining/firing the editor that approved deadnaming @xychelsea, an egregious breach of ethics, right? pic.twitter.com/4g8UAo5DjD

Not everybody agrees with Wu’s idea of Journalism 101:

Pretty sure it's never a breach of ethics (nor an egregious one) to state a fact. https://t.co/SQtBME9hrT

Chelsea Manning's name was previously Bradley. The former should be used but the latter is still a fact. https://t.co/W2RyZ9aAaG

Hi Ms. Wu. Professional op-ed writing, while expressing opinion, also includes facts. Chelsea was indeed named Bradley at birth.

I used to be ignorant and uninformed about writing too. DM me if you'd like to learn the basics. Best, Andy.

"Deadnaming" isn't a thing. Calling Manning a male isn't a breach of ethics. It's science. https://t.co/rhBUdHpSg2
