Anderson Cooper Faces Backlash for Misgendering Civil Rights Attorney at CNN Town Hall.

Anderson Cooper is trending in The US because some netizens have called for the resignation or sack of the broadcast journalist, after he misgendered a Civil Rights attorney at a CNN town hall event with Bernie Sanders.

Cooper has been attacked for his dismissive response to the attorney after he was told Grace Thomas's accurate pronouns are "they/them" not "she".

Despite criticism directed at Anderson Cooper from some quarters, other netizens have reacted with hilarity to the outrage from those who have called out the journalist.

Cooper's supporters have stated that they find the criticism ridiculous because the Civil Rights attorney obviously resembled a woman, hence the journalist's use of the pronoun "she".
