Ina Fried's Personal Life

Fried, the veteran technology reporter is very open about her status as a transgender woman. Previously known as Ian Fried, she transitioned from male to female and began using the byline 'Ina Fried'.

Her CNET blog is titled 'Beyond Binary'. She claims that she's a female but some people refuses the fact and a Wikipedia user frequently changed the pronoun from 'she' to 'he' back in 2008.

During an interview, she explained,

"I worked as a male for 10 years and I'd been at my job at CNET for three or four years when I transitioned there."

She has now been vocal about her transition from male to female. She shared in a CNET article that:

"In the real world, I changed my gender from male to female a few years back and haven't looked back. But on Wikipedia, my pronouns seem to be changing all the time. In the last few weeks, there's been a debate as to whether 'he' or 'she' should be used on my page with different volunteer editors taking opposite positions on whether I am entitled to use female pronouns. After several days of being 'he' on Wikipedia, I was pleased Thursday to see that my pronouns had reverted back to the gender with which I identify."

She's very proud to be what she's and making her name for something beyond just being a transgender.

"It's still fairly rare for transgender people to be in the media for things other than being transgender. Thankfully, that's starting to change. One of the great joys I have is being able to go on CNBC to talk about Windows 10 like I did this morning."

Further, she mentioned that her work and the LGBT issues often overlap. She writes about the technologies and also about the LGBT issues dealing the two different things in a different way without affecting any of the parts.

Fried is still unmarried and has no children at present. She's still single.
