People get confused because the most common usage of "man" is now to refer to men who are specifically male, but the original and equally valid meaning of "man" is "human being" hence we have words like "mankind," "man-made" and of course "woman." Basically none of the compound forms have been corrupted by the newer meaning, hence we get gunman, defined by wiktionary as "A criminal armed with a gun, especially a professional killer."We dont know if it was a gunman. Taking a report of "woman in dress" and insisting tbis must be a Trans person, and this transpetson must be referred to as a man, is clearly, obviously fanning the flames dude. Come on, now.
