Lifesite News?

They're about as credible as your standard UK tabloid.

Besides, that's Canada and they're sorry.

I don't know anything about the site, the story is what caught my eye.

Is the story wrong?

If it was on Lifesite, it is automatically at least suspect. They're pretty infamous for just making things up, or deliberately misrepresenting things.

It's amusing how transparently biased that article is. They report on a gender issue and make the editorial decision to refer to the child as "she" and when the judge refers to the child as "he" they throw a [SIC] in after it.

Lifesite doesn't make any pretense of being unbiased.

So: the site is biased.

Okay.

Best I can tell pretty much all outlets are.

But: is the story wrong?

But up to 2014 we all would have expected the [sic]

This reflects a cultural bias that reflects a majority* opinion. She is a 15-year-old girl who wants to be a boy and is in transition. Most people would insist that AB's pronouns reflect her current biological categorization, especially as a teenager. It doesn't really matter what she wants, legally; and it doesn't automatically change if she is taking hormones on the way to transition.

That attitude may be, um, wrong; who knows, it is a crazy issue.

However, in Canada, it is damn near illegal to refer to a transitioning person with anything other than their chosen pronoun.

The article is clarifying the judge's incorrect language for its readers.



*I have no evidence it is majority, that is just a guess on my part
