Trigger warning — campus politics is back
National Post ^ | September 19, 2016 | Kelly McParland

It’s the start of a new year on university campuses, and Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., was quick out of the gate with the latest contribution to the pandemic of gender hysteria.

An initiative launched by the university’s Faculty Senate Gender Inclusivity Task Force urged faculty members to politely quiz students and colleagues on how they prefer to be addressed: as he, she, ze, zir or hir.

“When introducing yourself, offer your name and pronoun,” it advised, suggesting they start off lectures with: “I am Professor Jones and I use she/her/hers pronouns. What should I call you?”

It also provided phrases for use when dealing with those choosing gender neutrality, such as, “Ze is a real leader on campus” and, “I loved hirs paper.”

Vanderbilt University is not a component of Nashville. It is an unwelcome alien presence.

Foolishness. Derangement. This crap is probably why Hillary is losing. Voters are seeing what their college tuition money is paying for—leftist BS.

"What should I call you?"

Try deplorable.

I'm sorry was that a micro-aggression? I was trying really hard.

These creatures actually have parents.
No one can convince me, however, that their parents are *proud* parents.
I pity them. What utter despair and sadness they must feel when they think about how their children turned out.

I’ll stick with “he”, “she” and, as circumstances warrant for all those sick, confused souls, “it”.

The smartest way to deal with this is to never use third party pronouns. Just use the person’s name all the time. Problem solved.

Name’s Drill. I hail from Planet Zoob, and my people have eleven sexes. I prefer the pronoun “Exalted Master”. You may call me Bob.

If they’re of undetermined gender, call ‘em ZIT.

OK, she is a hardcore BADASS (sorry about the language, but that's the only term that fits).

She'd kick most of the snowflakes’ rear ends. And I'm including the “males” in that group.

Actually, this is an argument for women in combat roles. I'm betting the ISIS scum seriously don't want to mess with her given that she has survived fighting those scum for more than a year!

/NO SARC

PS If you lurk here, and even if you don't, you have my respect, Ma'am.
