Contending that "Mr., Mrs., and Ms" are hurtful and offensive to those with nontraditional gender identification, City University of New York wants its employees—professors and staff—to stop using these greetings.
Dean of Students Peter Beaver explained that "for us to assume that because a person looks male we should address him as 'mister' overlooks the possibility that inwardly that person may identify as female. The situation for those who look female is even more complex, as 'miss' and 'missus' inject a marital status into the equation."
"The appropriate form of salutation will be situational," Beaver said. "If a university employee knows the person's first or last name the employee should simply use that in addressing the person. If the individual is unknown to the employee he should use the term 'student' if the person being addressed is known to be a student. If that information is not known a non-sexist term like 'hey,' 'hello,' 'you', or 'comrade' should be used. Under no circumstances shall the terms 'sir' or ma'am' be used."

So instead address people as Comrade. Or Tovarisch.
Geez. Well, its New York, its CCNY, they have to bend over backwards to price they are liberal.
nontraditional gender identification
We just need one to fit them and they should be fine. How about “it”? Or are there copyright issues with the Addams Family?
In which case, instead of verbally greeting them, you should just walk up an slap the reality-fighting stupid bitch across the face so hard its teeth loosen. I'm sure we all agree, people like that should just stay home... better still, get the ___k back in the closet.
IMHO.

Dave Barry once speculated about what life would have really been like for an actual boy growing up with the name “Beaver” Cleaver.
His description of junior high school for “the Beaver” was not for the faint of heart. Especially the locker room scene.
Robespierre and the Committee on Public Safety are alive and well in leftism
