A long time ago, the Associated Press (AP) appointed its own guidelines as the gold standard for objective journalism, establishing a set of rules for the vocabulary everyone else is expected to regurgitate. Since then, media outlets across the globe have blindly followed suit.
The outlet was never objective in the first place, and maintains a track record for rewriting the dictionary to enforce its own newspeak. How much reality must they rewrite before the rest of us stop hailing them as the purveyors of truth?
The AP has decided that recognizing basic biology is apparently “misleading.” That's why they published an editor’s note above a local lawmaker’s op-ed, disavowing her use of the term “biological male.”

And let’s talk about the Editor’s Note on my Op-Ed. The Bangor Daily News says the term “biological male” is misleading—but they don’t explain why. What, exactly, is misleading about basic biology? pic.twitter.com/GouItoPWTn

“I won’t stop fighting for fairness in girls’ sports,” reads Maine Representative Laurel Libby’s headline for AP affiliate, Bangor Daily News (BDN).
Her piece blasts Maine’s House of Representatives for censuring her over criticizing a male athlete swiping first place in a female track-and-field competition.
“I take my responsibility to stand up for truth, fairness, and equality seriously,” writes Libby who was banned from even speaking on the House floor because she refused to apologize and submit to their Orwellian game of pretend.
Leave it to the “neutral” platform she trusted with her op-ed to stifle her voice as well.
