Due Monday, March 27th
The following is a quote from the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association stylebook (www.nlgja.org):
"When writing about a transgender person, use the name and personal pronouns that are consistent with the way the individual lives publicly."
I found the link on the Poynter Institute's Web site (www.poynter.org).
Please research other journalism Web sites to find their policies on how to refer to the gender of people for whom this is an issue. Discuss the ethics of these policies and include your opinion.
