A pair of pronoun-mindful internet genii has gone and made a Twitter bot that politely corrects people who refer to Caitlyn Jenner as "he."
After Jenner's historic Vanity Fair cover broke Monday, Washington Post reporter Caitlin Dewey and a coder friend bricoleur-ed together @she_not_he. The account's bio reads "I might make mistakes reading your tweet!!" which, by my calculations, is true only about 15 percent of the time. (Disappointingly, most of the messages to which the bot responds *are* Drake Bell-level—or worse—transphobic.)

Kind of fun/saddening/hopeful all at once, right? It might just be a silly automated messaging system, but it's doing important work.
