Just curious. Does the University of Tennessee employ anyone who isn’t mentally ill?

such as "xe,"

Why would someone want to be called Xenon?

“The state funds the university to some extent.”

The state provides 38.4% of the 2015 operating budget for the University of Tennessee system.

It seems that the University of Tennessee administration troglodytes have not learned about the use of synecdoches.

I prefer to use the proper pronoun for Jenner, which is “HE”

If they get to guilt trip the demographic majority for its ethnicity, policing everyone’s pronoun for the feelings of a few sexually confused people isn’t a major step.

Be easier, and more economical, to just shut down the University of Tennessee Office for Diversity and Inclusion

When you create an Office for Diversity and Inclusion, the occupants will find things to keep themselves busy, whether needed or not. Best not to create such offices in the first place.

This is just going way too far! But, it would be the Vols that would do it.

How about “asswipe?”

Would “asswipe” be gender-neutral enough for them?

The power of the purse must be used meaningfully here and the Republicans have the power in TN to do it.

Cut off all funds till things change on this and other matters.

I identify as a poor fellow-soldier of Christ, of the Temple of Solomon. Now, I may be 808 years too late for this, and I am not a Catholic nor have I been knighted, but that is what I identify as, and thus bring crossbow, sword, byrnie and true heart to the table. I shall pray unceasingly, and you may address me as ‘Sir knight’, or ‘Brother’, because that is in FACT how I “identify”.

I have a solution. Instead of him or his use the term outy as in look at that outy run, outy runs fast. Instead of her or she use the term inny as in look at that inny, that inny sure is hawt! For those in transition the term whack-off is used. As in Caitlin Jenner is poor driver, that whack-off is really unsafe. For tranny’s in transition from inny to prosthetic the term pegie is prefered. So no more binary biased terns and instead use the anatomical slang terms of inny, outy, whack-off and peggy are the acceptable alternative to keep the PC Pervs from getting their panties in a bunch and going on a PMS rampage.

If I were a UT alumnus, I would stop giving to the school and quit the alumni association. Tennessee’s chicken-hearted legislature may be too whipped to defund, but private citizens don’t have to be.
