    I'll simply avoid using pronouns & only use his/her/its name!

    This is from an article that I saw posted, today:

    " Pennsylvania University Threatens to Punish Students for
    Misusing Classmates' Pronouns

    " Point Park Uni placed students on warning, saying in an email
    that "action could be taken" if they don't respect their
    classmates' preferred pronouns.

    " An email from the university's Office of Equity and
    Inclusion, first obtained by Campus Reform, informed students
    of its anti-discrimination policies, including its
    "Misgendering, Pronoun Misuse, and Deadnaming Policy."

    " If an individual is impacted in a harmful way, action could
    be taken if a complaint is filed," the email reads. It is
    unclear what 'action' the school intends to take against those
    who violate the policy.

    Not he first uni to establish such a policy. . . the death begins with the schools. . . :(

    I think even Harvard is in the game. . (!)

    Well, I have no way pf knowing what your preferred pronoun is, so unless you have it on your fgorehead in permanentymarker, I'll call you as I sees you.
    Oh, you told me (sorry, my hearing ain't so good, SIR! & my memory's even worse)

    I believe in real science -- things are to be established by repea5table study or experiment.

    The only consistent & objectively esablished fact i s the XY chromosome.

    You can dress uyp with clothing butthat don't hide your primary sexual cgharaxteristic (innie or outie genitals) & you can use surgery to dress up your crotch, but your XY still tells the truth.

    Children playing, because they're dissartisfied with their shitty lives.

    & refuse to believe it all comes down to making wise personal choices & maybe a General Arts major isn't the way towards a better future. Maybe you got to take more difficult classes, & actially LEARN at school (BY GOD!! The horror! The inhumanity!!)

    I got no sdchooling, but I know it, & I'm doing my best to make wise choices from where I'm at.

    If I get dealt into a poker game late, it doesn't mean I have to lose.

    Ditto if I get crappy cards. . . I'm in it to win it (life or poker)

    Yep.. just use the person's proper/given name. Case closed.

    prolong the illusion. Insane.

    You know, the gener-others aren't the ones whiing anbout pronouns, as they aren't going to be hearing "him" or "her" too often; it's whiny guilty bleeding hearts who stir it all up. Just like "Native Americans/Canadians"; thgey predfer the term Indian & laugh atr us quesing to get ever more convoluted in avoiding this. . .

    Columbus didn't think he was in India -- As an explorer, he knew the diference & likely knew matterings of the language. Some of the crew would've been good interpreters. George Carlin posits that Chris, trying to speak pidgin Spanish to his new sponsors, was saying a people "in Dios" (a people in God -- meaning they were found to be living at one with nature)

    I know a local hereabouts who describes himself as gender fluid. One day he's a he, another he's a she; different names in use each time -- I think this is a clever ruse by our universal medical system not to have to pay to treat his multiple personality disordy.

    "Whatever you say you are is what you are."

    Say WHAAAT?! Since when?! Okay, I are a 17yo girl & I wish to attend the all girls' high school near here! OOOOOH!Now the turkey turns?! BAH!

    & when that gal in Frisco said she was black, they turned on her -- so it's quite relative -- the last I checked, science is based on reproducible FACTS. Not invented plumbs.

    The n-word is basd,. but "the n-word" is okay?! When you say "the n-word" my brain translates it to the word, so what did you accomplish?

    & stop calling me physically challenged -- Sir Edmund Hillary was physically challenged. I'm just crippled.

    & if you're blind, you're not "sight impaired"; you're blind! My neighbour who has 5% vision in one eye & 0 in the other is visually impaired.

    I just am tired of being forced to play a game I don't even like (but I'm still better at it than most!)
