FULL TITLE: University of Tennessee tells staff and students to stop using 'he' and 'she' - and switch to 'xe', 'zir' and 'xyr' instead
The University of Tennessee has told its staff and students to stop calling each other 'he', 'she', 'him' and 'her' - and to start referring to one another with terms like 'xe', 'zir' and 'xyr' instead.
The Knoxville branch of the public university, which has 27,400 students, sent a memo round to its members filled with unusual new parts of speech to avoid referring to anybody's gender.
According to a gay rights official at the university, the new language regime will make the university 'welcoming and inclusive' and stop people feeling 'marginalized'.

The brain washing of our kids continues.
Never hire an volunteer and this will stop
Well you could KMA. There are he’s and there are she’s and there be no in-betweens or switches.
How about fu to the staff?
I know. A contraction for she he and it...
S-H-I-T
How totally asinine!
So the decision is to be UNWELCOMING and HOSTILE to the 99.0% of the students who know what sex they are.
Tennessee citizens should start replacing the administration at ut until this is corrected. It would be corrected if such assclowns were fired.
That is change we can believe in.
I wonder how something like this would take place under the new rules:

How will this be handled with English majors? How will this include women’s studies majors. Will they ban the department?
zix is full of krp.
I demand to be referred to as “It” from now on
or I will consider myself offended.
(Lawsuits may ensue.)
Utter madness. One might expect this idea to pop on Facebook - but for an actual university in America to seriously suggest this is taking pc to the edge of insanity. It’s sci-fi ..
I don’t imagine the alums are going to take this too well.
So will anyone in the Tenn legislature rein these idiots in? How about firing “Donna Braquet, who runs the university’s Pride Center” and defunding the “Pride Center”. I mean, this is in TENNESSEE! Not California!
Can’t someone in Tennessee do SOMETHING?
Good old Rocky Flop.
My country ‘tis of thee,
bald faced insanity,
ripe for a wreck.
Land of the micro-snide,
whence sense is vilified,
teaching kids dreck.
Culture from high remote
crammed down propped open throats,
held up with phony votes.
Oh, what the heck.
