really offsets
below average americans are still trying
to wrap their heads around gay and
lesbian issues straight america is not
ready for yet for transgender issues
we in the LGBT community will force it
upon them anyway
yeah I mean I think I
I think you're I think you're right on
both counts I am
you know it it it doesn't seem too hard
I to me
to honor how someone wants to be
referred to
and how someone wants to be seen in
society
I am it's not you know
it's not the most natural thing for me
to do
I am I didn't
you note to the extent that some I know
growing up at least I didn't know any
transgender people I've
I am I've I've worked with I've come you
know as an adult I worked with
a some a some transgender Fokin
I am you know
minutes you get used to it it's not
you know it's not it you know by then
I did the he was beef cuts I am
whether people working on our our show
transgender I didn't didn't know at
first
I'm one point she told me and
it hello
just wasn't a big deal I am
you know by day three in the shoot the
big deal was like she's awesome matter
just
of other job I and that was extremely
helpful particularly due to low budget
thing you have
you know you get good people sometimes
you get bad people and bad people can
really screw up a low-budget production
an awesome people can save you time and
money
and that's you know
I think we ended up working with her
again can't remember
maybe in New York portion I think I've
policies or something so I am so I think
you know america will
will learn to get over it
and commentators will be so freaked out
that they have to say she instead he
the if it's not like most that these
people have been saying such positive
things about
about Manning to begin with famine don't
like it's gonna change their outlook on
him
no a and are yeah well that's a big
doesn't look
you know why I don't think that people
should be attacked because
they make a mistake like that it's not
not the easiest thing would
I went through I'll a year and a half
saying I you know
um a
brocco summer are whatever it was
minute you know happy Rocco some or
whatever one tomorrow so I was i
you know whatever the you it is
up for those of us who were covering the
Bradley Manning trial
it's not the easiest thing in the world
is sort of like
30 by but you know the the point is
is that good intention people will will
try to do it
I and a some people should give the
benefit of the doubt when there is a
a.m. a a
people will give the benefit the doubt
they should give a benefit out when it's
clear that it's a a well-intentioned
mistake to say
him as opposed to her a it'll be easier
in two weeks
because we've been saying you're Bradley
Manning as opposed to saying Chelsea
many
you know and so people
on you know people need to both respect
both respect
her requests and also give some slack
to people who are well-intentioned but
just %uh you know
can't police every word out the route
I'm you could also tell the difference
in people who are well-intentioned
I think so and then those who just are
refusing to use the proper prone horizon
right
right couldn't do it to do up so
confused I mean look
I think it's it perfectly a I mean I you
know
a I give some thought to how we can
report on I'm just referred to it
because
I don't wanna be saying Chelsea Manning
and have listeners who didn't hear the
first part of the show it's a like
all who is he talking about and so you
know I was contemplating like
Chelsea may broadly man
I am I I don't know
is if if someone would take offense to
that
I its you know from in a transition
period I may be something that I
I may do just so the people understand
what I'm talking about
it's unreasonable to expect people to
know a BD it leave the next day
maybe they didn't hear the news did
Chelsea Manning
when I talk about Chelsea Manning I'm
referring to the people or the person
that people use to know is Bradley
Manning
you know so but yes Americal get over
