There's a robot on Twitter attempting to correct people who are referring to Caitlyn Jenner as "he" or "him." A noble gesture, sure, but it turns out the bot can't distinguish between who's actually using the wrong pronouns and those trying to be helpful in the same way.
Prior to completing her transition from Bruce to Caitlyn, Jenner was still using male pronouns.
"Until that transition is done, we've learned that you do refer to him as 'him,'" Jenner's step-daughter Kim Kardashian had told the "Today" show.
But earlier today, Vanity Fair released a preview of its cover story featuring Caitlyn Jenner; her first interview since she transitioned fully from Bruce into a woman. She has begun referring to herself using female pronouns, and asking everyone else to follow her example. This means "she" and "her," rather than "him" and "his."
I'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. Welcome to the world Caitlyn. Can't wait for you to get to know her/me.

However, @she_not_he cannot tell when other Twitter users are tweeting in an attempt to spread awareness.
So proud of Caitlyn Jenner and all he is doing for the trans community. The best is def yet to come for him. #CaitlynJenner #CallMeCaitlyn

PSA: @Caitlyn_Jenner should no longer be addresed with 'he' or 'his.' Just calling her 'Caitlyn' is a great place to start! #CaitlynJenner
