Nashville shooting highlights failures in reporting on trans community.

CBS News executives have banned the use of the word "transgender" in reports on the Nashville shooter, despite police confirming Audrey Hale's gender identity. The network's executives said the identity had "no known relevance to the crime" and advised reporters to focus on other aspects of the investigation. The decision has been reflected in the network's coverage, with mentions of Hale's gender identity stopping. CBS News insiders have criticised the move, with one saying it was "withholding information" and "not journalism".
