As Matt covered, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) scrubbed the “she/her” pronouns from her bio on X (formerly Twitter) in the aftermath of President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory.
Obviously, this change did not go unnoticed. In “woke” circles, this is problematic, as Matt noted.

Women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines chimed in on AOC’s recent move.
“They’ll pretend they never embraced (or even celebrated) the insanity,” she wrote on X. “Don’t forget who the compliant, virtue-signaling sheep were.”

In a follow-up, Gaines responded to a throwback video of Ocasio-Cortez previously apologizing for not having her pronouns in her X bio.
"We're winning and its glorious," Gaines wrote.

“How will we know what to call AOC now that her pronouns in her bio are gone ?!?!?!” she continued.
“It was imminent that identity politics would die from its inception. People have had enough.”
