MSNBC updated a previously aired segment after a reporter who goes by 'they/them' pronouns publicly complained about being misgendered by the liberal network.
Reporter Kate Sosin, who covers LGBTQ issues for The 19th News, objected after being identified as a female during a segment about women journalists who face online harassment. "NBC News interviewed Kate Sosin, a nonbinary trans journalist, who shared their experience with gender-based threats akin to those faced by reporters who identify as female. That context was not clear in this story, which inadvertently led to Kate's misgendering.
Sosin appeared on MSNBC while an on-screen graphic said,"1 in 3 women under 35 experience online harassment," but the graphic has been removed. Sosin, who claimed the network"misgendered me" and"won’t fix it, responded with theMSNBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Meanwhile, Taylor Lorenz, a Washington Post journalist also featured in the segment, criticized MSNBC after it aired.
Lorenz then wrote on Sunday,"If your segment or story on ‘online harassment’ leads to even worse online harassment for your subjects, you f--ked up royally and should learn how to cover these things properly before ever talking about them again."Brian Flood is a media reporter for Fox News Digital.
