Oh no -- that's a shock.

I remember seeing her on a reality show years and years ago -- I forget what it was but she struck me as a warm and wonderful person. I really liked her.

This is tragic. Only 47.

While the siblings respect her, they still misgender her. Saying she was their brother and then became their sister, fine. But then after that they keep on referring to her as a he.

Edit: I see it was only Richmond that misgendered her.

Yes, the repeating of "he" is jarring in this report.
