Kristina DeLeon is another reporter that needs to learn the difference between a transman and a transwoman.I know WOAI-TV should have copies of the AP Stylebook around the station, but let me take a moment to school you on the basics of how to properly report about transpeople.
A transgender man or transman is a person born in a FEMALE body like yours who transitions to male.
A transgender woman or transwoman is a person born male but who transitions to female
Transmen are referred to with male pronouns, transwomen with female pronouns irregardless of genital status.
Such a simple concept, but people constantly screw it up.
