Because she doesn't believe a man can become a woman. It's just dressing up.

Cory calls himself a man, and is insistent on this point. So why is he being referred to as a “she” here?

I’m so tired of hearing from “the good ones” and hearing men referred to as “she” by people trying to paint themselves as reasonable moderates on this issue. I have zero interest in HIS opinions, even if I happen to agree with some of them.

Good for you for featuring this conversation, providing insight that would be otherwise difficult to find, as you might have guessed you'd receive pushback. If one can overlook the understandable discomfort around pronouns etc mentioned by other commentators here, this is a piece really worth reading because it reveals how this ideology pushed by the transhumanist billionaire group is full of holes, including some big ones! The only thing I take issue with is Corinna may not be aware of the fetishists out there who like to pretend they are women. Otherwise, I really liked the substance of your last 2 paragraphs. I've bookmarked the X reference to your article, and will refer people to it when appropriate.

I stopped reading after I saw the author referring to Cori Cohn as a "she".

HE is and always was a HE.... and BTW, HE detransitioned. https://stellaomalley.substack.com/p/30-years-after-his-own-transition

More accurately “a gentleman of trans experience” in Cori ‘s words. He says it’s impossible for him to detrans as he’s done the surgeries at 19. Sobering real advice.

I don't care what men and women choose to do to themselves, and that includes Cohn, a man who had surgeries. But I do care about biological facts (sex is not assigned or reassigned) and the use of the English language, including simple pronouns, and I don't subscribe to propaganda disguised as anything else. If you can't get the language right and biology right, then I'll block this column.
