Why do pe0ple call Bruce enner he?

I don't really care about the Kardashians but... if Bruce is a transgender why do they keep on calling Bruce he? Isn't that offensive to her? She's a woman, she's not a man.

Just a habit I suppose.

Bruce Jenner hasn't spoken of any desire to change names or pronouns so far. And his family have talked about him and his transition using male pronouns and his assigned name. Not all trans* people want to change their name or pronouns. However, if he or someone close to him announces a change of name and/or pronouns then that's when it becomes offensive to refer to him by his assigned name and male pronouns.

His name is now Caitlyn I believe.

She referred to herself as "her" and "Caitlyn" in her tweets so from that I can deduce she would prefer she/her pronouns :smile: If needs be, people should just use gender neutral pronouns - them/they
Yeah, it's kinda typical that I post about her not having said anything about a name change and then about two hours later I see it on Facebook...
