Cooper Misgenders Activist at Sanders Town Hall

During a Bernie Sanders town hall event, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper misgendered Democratic activist Grace Thomas by using 'she/her' pronouns instead of 'they/them'. Thomas corrected Cooper before proceeding to ask Sanders about the Democratic Party's loss of young male voters, questioning how they could appeal to such demographics without alienating marginalized groups. The incident has sparked criticism and debate on social media, with some mocking Cooper and others commenting on the Democratic Party's stance on gender issues. This misstep highlights ongoing tensions within the party regarding gender identity and its impact on voter demographics. The broader context includes a shift in American public opinion, with many opposing extreme gender policies.
