The media's consistent misgendering and deadnaming of Honee Walker reflects a deep-seated disrespect for the transgender community, contributing to systemic transphobia and prejudice.
Blaque/Out Magazine emphasized that misgendering, whether intentional or ignorant, manifests a lack of respect for the trans and LGBTQIA+ communities and is a documented form of oppression.
Reports from various news outlets failed to correct the deadname of Honee Walker, maintaining biases that exist within journalism against the transgender community.
Capt. Greg Bello of the Rochester Police stated that the driver involved in the hit-and-run has been located, but no arrest has yet been announced.
