Yes, really.

Henderson introduced the trans person as Shea Diamond, pronouncing the first name ‘shay’.

“Erm, it’s Shea Diamond,” responded the trans person, pronouncing the first name ‘she-a’.

“Put that on record,” said Diamond, to which Henderson responded, “It’s on the record.”

“Yes honey, it’s violence to misgender or to alter a name of a trans person, so let’s always get that right first” asserted Diamond.

As we reported earlier, this was by no means the only highlight of the night.

Get woke, get humiliated.

I used to think CNN town halls were a tragedy, but now I realize they’re a comedy.

Honk honk.
