The Associated Press style guide – which sets the agenda for how most major media uses its words and phrases in reporting, thus shaping society views – has come out with new guidelines on gender.<\/p>\n

The AP now instructs journalists to respect LGBTQ subjects’ preferred pronouns and to avoid terms like “biological sex.” <\/p>\n

The new guide also suggested avoiding phrases like “both sexes,” indicating there are more than two that people use. Journalists should also avoid referring to a trans person as being born a boy or girl, with “sex assigned at birth” the new preferred usage. <\/p>\n

The AP Style Guide update was headlined “Transgender Coverage Topical Guide.” <\/p>\n

The guide began with some general advice, stating, “Gender terminology is vast and constantly evolving; a style guide can’t cover everything. Let your sources guide you on how they want to be identified, and then use your judgment to be both sensitive and accurate.” <\/p>\n

The AP advice included a glossary, including “gender-identity,” “genderqueer,” “intersex,” and “nonbinary.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
