Their sexuality or gender, they did something heroic, they saved a baby from icy waters, they deserve to be recognized for it. I don't think that topic was on anyone's mind at the time of the incident.

Mean people suck.

Please do not mispronoun trans people.

Me.

(It, its, itself)

Using "they" when someone has a clear pronoun is misgendering. In this case, the article is only about one man, who uses "he."

Republicans have a policy of choosing pronouns they are comfortable with, regardless of the identities of others. Their rationale might be different than the justifications given here, but the result is the same.

Not as an identifier. I go by she/her but if someone referred to me as they it wouldn't matter.

Apologies to anyone... hes, she, hers, hims, thems (did I miss anyone - there it is again!) who may be offended. I'm old, it's hard to keep up with groups I'm not familiar with.

Honestly, this happened at Montrose Harbor. There's no river there.

Please don't mis-geographize this body of water.
