Many viewers took to Twitter to call out Behar for the mistake.
Joy Behar misgendered Caitlyn Jenner at least four times on the View this morning.
Caitlyn transitioned over six years ago.
I don’t know why Joy misgendered her but it’s an important reminder that we don’t misgender people even if we don’t like their politics.

If your first instinct is to call Caitlyn Jenner a man or attack Caitlyn for being transgender, rather than talk about the substance of her campaign or policy ideas, you’re telling on yourself and revealing your bias.

Addressing her mistake after returning from a commercial break, the TV personality said, тАЬSo first of all let me apologize for my pronoun mixup. I think I just didnтАЩt get enough sleep last night.тАЭ

Behar continued, тАЬI think I just didnтАЩt get enough sleep last night. I had no intention of mixing them up, and I tried to correct it immediately, but whatever, it just came out. So IтАЩm sorry if anybody was upset by that.тАЭ
Later that day, Jenner tweeted to Behar to let her know that she wasnтАЩt offended.
тАЬDonтАЩt sweat it, @JoyVBehar,тАЭ Jenner wrote. тАЬIтАЩm not about cancel culture. I know where your heart is. California has bigger issues than pronouns.тАЭ
