The 22-year-old suspect who allegedly killed five people and wounded 17 others in a gay nightclub in Colorado uses “they/them” pronouns and is “nonbinary,” his lawyers and court documents said Tuesday.

“Anderson Aldrich is nonbinary,” his lawyers Joseph Archambault and Michael Bowman wrote Tuesday night in a footnote (pdf). “They use they/them pronouns, and for the purposes of all formal filings, will be addressed as Mx. Aldrich.” “Mx.” is often used by people who are transgender.
