As Heat Street‘s Politics Editor Jillian Melchior reported this week, a new policy at the University of Michigan allows students to choose their preferred pronouns— including the gender-neutral “they” and “ze” — to appear on class rosters.

With that in mind, one conservative student, Grant Strobl, who is also chairman of the Young Americans for Freedom board of governors, decided to troll the university administration by officially requesting his pronoun to be changed to “His Majesty.”
And it worked!

If I could be in my 20s, and pick my own prefix, it would be Sir Pimpsalot.
Because wishful thinking.

I love it. He can file a complaint against anybody who doesn’t use the correct pronoun and have them kicked out of school! Way to go!!

Could have a lot of fun with this:
"My Lord and Master"
"Who is my Daddy"
"Why is Socialism a failure"
"Have I stopped beating my wife yet"
"Do these clothes make me look fat"

This is absurd! Everyone KNOWS that the football coach is to be addressed at “His Majesty”. There will be HELL to pay over this!

Strobl inspires David Brown to enter the UM Pronoun Challenge fray with, "You shall now refer to me as 'The Exalted Reverend Doctor Architect,' & everyone else shall refer to themselves as Mary." Too funny.

My pronoun would be “Hillary4prison,” or maybe “Kenyanlikeobama” or “Blackriflesmatter.”
Phuck these people. Alinskyite was right about one thing: ridicule a very effective political weapon. We patriots, we normal people, have to do this kind of thing as much as possible.
