    Why is the person’s gender relevant?

        and why is it there? I still don’t get the relevance

          Because the information is known, so it’s mentioned. It’s the same as if it was a man who did it.

          In this case, it’s because it was from a specific TikTok creator.

            It’s the same as if it was a man who did it.

            then why is it being called out as if there was a difference? that’s what I don’t understand.

              It’s not. The gender is known, so it’s mentioned.

              Same reason headlines say “Florida Man” and not “Florida Human”

      I don’t think it is but the headline clearly mimics a standard newspaper headline. I don’t think it’s trying to say something about genders, just saying something about how media communicates.
