The western world is going to have to change the way it measures history. We had Before Christ (BC) and anno Domini (AD)...and now we have After Sanity (AS).
I don't know when we should mark it's beginning, 2008? 2012? If we're not going to base it on Obama's election then at a minimum we're in the year 1 AS. The reasons are many, the Iran nuke deal, the Jenner formerly known as Bruce, Miley Cyrus in general...or maybe we'll just go with this:
The University of Tennessee in Knoxville is ditching gendered pronouns.What?!? No thanks...Get ZE hell outta here!According to the university, students and staff are being asked to ditch "he" and "she" to make the campus more gender-neutral.
Instead, the school's Office for Diversity and Inclusion...AKA one of a myriad of reasons why college tuition is WAY more expensive than a generation ago.
...wants everyone on campus to use all-inclusive words like "ze" to make it easier to include all genders...Within the last couple of years, Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center representative Leah Ford decided ze did not want to be labeled as she or he.Move over "sticks and stones," here comes "words"..."Ze, zim, zirs, people just choose what feels most comfortable to them," said Ford. Ford felt most comfortable when people used gender neutral pronouns.
"When I am asked what my pronouns are it makes me feel a lot more comfortable," said Ford.
A 2-question pop quiz to those "gender warriors" out there:
1. Please select the photo above where the man and woman humans look more comfortable.
2. Please select the statements that sound more "gender neutral":
Wow! She has a really nice rack! OR Wow! Ze has a really nice rack!
His prostate is giving him trouble again. OR Zirs prostate is giving him trouble again.
She's about to deliver a baby! OR Ze's about to deliver a baby!
............Someone stop the planet, I want to get off I want to kick these morons (a gender neutral term, but I won't wait for their thanks) off.

And.
they speak zij/ze spreken
Doob.
hmmmm .... what are Spanish speakers supposed to do, what with all those masculine and feminine nouns and all. This seems to be a bit of unintended racism.
I just roll all of them together to be inclusive. Never mind that she, he, it sounds like something else....it is what comes to my mind when I see one of these commie liberals...just kind of rolls right off the tongue without thinking...

End of story.
Very true, they’d have to change their entire language since most words have a gender assigned to them.
What’s with the Memphis crap. This is UT-Knoxville.
They are encouraged in this non-sense by the frauds who pretend to be teaching them something but are taking their money and teaching them nothing. Crap like this serves to hide the truth that these children will not be prepared to do anything but clean up tables at auto-mats while living in mom’s basement.
If you’re really confused about whether you’re a she, a he, or an it, the easiest thing to do is just mash them all together. We’ll take the ‘s’ from she, the ‘h’ from he, and the whole ‘it’ from it. And kids, what awesome new gender-neutral pronoun does that give these people?
True, the article covers that and Memphis. I “misspoke” in the headline.
