Xbox One Stage Show called transgender journalist "it"(Hired comedian, Not a MS employee)

[blightedpersona]

If I didn't recognize the gender of someone then I too would refer to them as an ambiguous term like "this person"

 

EDIT:  so now I'm looking at a picture of the person in question and I think "this person" was the best way to describe them
