Announcer Misgenders Pioneering U.S. Olympics Shot-Putter
A BBC commentator got corrected live on air on Thursday when he welcomed American shot putter Raven Saunders to the Paris Olympics with the wrong pronoun.
The non-binary American likes to compete as their alter ego “the Hulk,” with full face mask, sunglasses, green and purple dyed hair, and long bedazzled nails.
Making their international return to competition after an 18-month suspension for missing drugs tests, Saunders took to the field for qualifying in the women’s shot put.
