AP "Sex Change" Section

The AP Stylebook is under attack! A recent piece in the Washington, D.C. City Paper's "Sexist" blog focuses on how the style fails to respect trans individuals in a truly inclusive manner and instead, in an arbitrary and heteronormative style.

I thought it was pretty interesting: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/sexist/2009/09/08/how-the-ap-stylebook-fails-transgender-subjects/

  1. Speaking of AP style (and thank you for this article) ... Check your AP Stylebook about whether to use first or last names on Romeo and Juliet, depending on their age.
