Donald Trump Jr. Upset Over Hurricane Beryl's 'Non-Binary' Name

Spare a thought for poor Donald Trump Jr. He is very, very upset about the name given to Hurricane Beryl, which is currently devastating parts of the Caribbean.

Hurricane Beryl, which brought winds of up to 210 km/h to Jamaica's southern coast and killed at least seven people, has been sweeping through the region in recent days.

In response to satellite images of the storm, former President Donald Trump's eldest son, who is not known for his meteorological knowledge, decided that the traditionally feminine name was actually gender-neutral.

“Beryl?” he wrote in a message on X/Twitter. “Even our hurricanes are now non-binary.”

Even the most cursory research proves that “Beryl” is a Greek feminine name that dates back to at least the 19th century.

Famous women with this name include British actress Beryl Reid, English author Beryl Bainbridge, ballet dancer Beryl Grey, aviator Beryl Markham, and manga character Queen Beryl.

The name derives from the natural mineral beryllium, a light green semi-precious gemstone. Although the name has been used in the masculine in the past, this is true for almost all names to some extent.

Its use as a name for a weather storm also confirms its status as a typically feminine name, as American hurricanes and tropical storms have been named after women since at least 1953.

Although the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has been naming storms after both men and women for decades, despite Trump Jr.'s outrage, the initial decision to stick with female names was likely due to the fact that previous naming conventions were “fraught with racism and sexism.”

According to Atlas Obscura, tropical storms were once commonly named based on “personal preferences and vendettas” and were borrowed from “places and saints, wives and girlfriends, and hated public figures,” which caused confusion and was rooted in misogyny.

Today, the WMO maintains a list of predetermined first names, both male and female, to avoid confusion. The name Beryl has been used every six years since 1979, with its last use being in 2018.

Trump Jr. is no stranger to conspiracy theories. He supported the “Stop the Steal” campaign, which relied on a debunked claim that his father won the 2020 presidential election. He has also claimed that former first lady Michelle Obama was transgender and that collaborations with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney were a sign that the “trans mafia” was in control.
