How appropriate. Non-binary cats named Luxor and Abyss (Satan and Hell).

We’ve had a non-binary pronoun all along. Why do we need new ones?
It

It eats, it was hungry, I fed it, etc

Male, female, neuter.

He, she, it.

What’s wrong with “it”?

I checked the list, and could not find my preferred pronoun, "qtx3ek".

Anyone who does not use it, and pronounce it correctly, is guilty of ThoughtCrime and HateSpeech. In other words, they are DoublePlusUnGood.

But at the same time it’s necessary. People are coming to understand that not all of us fit into the “girl” box or the “boy” box.

Oh, look. A science denier.

Can’t even acknowledge basic human biology.

“A critical component of the freedom of speech is the freedom from speech – that is, the right not to be compelled to make statements or take positions that violate the dictates of one’s conscience,” Harris wrote.

Of course I was called into HR for my intransigence and instructed to “correct” my pronoun. I refused, citing the “Other” box and demanded my preferred pronoun remain on my contact card.

Once HR opens Pandora’s box with that absurdity, they can try to buffalo you, but they know they *have* to let you choose a pronoun of your own liking or you could, quite literally, sue them. HR, having been stupid enough to drive down this road, it’s only fair you tweak their nose.

One of the bank’s Corporate Attorneys and I (along with others) used to play in the same band. He and I knew each other pretty well. I’d bet good money he was consulted after my meeting with HR and he told them to back off. I wouldn’t be surprised, he was good that way.

My preferred pronoun:
Mister Mxyzptlk

If anyone mispronounces it be sure to proclaim loudly and publicly that they are racist/sexist/Nazi/homophobes. Make sure to pick a large sum of money to assuage your hurt feelings.

Be sure to get you some of that victim privilege while the getting is good.

I prefer Most Deluxe and Imperial Self, but friends can address me as Deluxe.
