The first term on each button is the nominative case, then the accusative and last the possessive. I’m glad they are getting back to the teaching of grammar.

I agree. The correct use of pronouns, including distinguishing pronouns from contraction and *always* using the correct case, is what sets us apart from the savages.

Dear Yaelle, I agree with every word you wrote, except for the very last one: “junk”.

I would argue, strongly, that the sexual organs should never be referred to disrespectfully: not as $%$#%$$ or $&%$ or #$%#@, and certainly not as “plumbing”.

Its desperately sad that the same people who see themselves as “sex-positive” treat the genital organs as if they were absurd, meaningless and inconsequential.

They are meaningful, not only because they are used for the sacred task of bringing new persons into the world, but also because they give us crucially important clues as to who we are and how we are to live our lives with sanity and integrity.

Honor yourself and your Creator, all people everywhere! You are not trash and your genitals are not junk.

“...people who are both genders...”

Respectfully, WBill, it’s either one or the other. Even after a sex change operation, the internals are the same.

But I guess the point is we need a return to NORMALCY - a move away from whatever the Liberal Psychosis du Jour is and back to sanity as a country.

Can I refuse to be referred to by pronouns?

I’m an anti-referentist! Only antecedents have a basis in concrete reality!

“Liberals feel that we are too focused “

Liberals are too focused on insanity and not enough focused on reality.

Reality is back In January 2017. Hard.

Sex is either male of female and does not change.

Gender refers to language.

By using plurals, are they claiming to have a bunch of different people living inside of them? LOL

This whole PC insanity is going to come to a screeching halt in 22 days!

Thanks to Trump, people are no longer afraid to say what the think and shall refuse to kowtow to the deranged any more.

My pronouns are:

His Majesty
His Majesty
His Majesty’s

And if you don’t use my chosen pronouns, I’ll haul you before the human rights commission.

Time to put a stop to this nonsense.

I guess that you have never heard of a HERMAPHRODITE and yes, they are rare, but VERY real! Such people are born with combinations of both sexes ( they are usually called males at birth, but during puberty, grow breasts, don't grown much to no facial hair, their testicles never descend, because they don't have any...they DO have ovaries, though, etc. ), and yes, some even have BOTH sex organs.

As far as their DNA is concerned, they have various different combination of Xs and Ys and NOT the normal allotment. Christine Jorgenson is the most famous one such.

Each person has the right to identify their own pronoun0

Just as I have the right to call them anything I want, including their proper birth pronoun.

You're correct.

Each person has the right to identify their own pronouns

"Person" is a singular noun, by definition, and by the fact that it has a singular verb ("has"). It is then followed by the pronoun "their," which is third person plural.

In English grammar, a pronoun must match the case, gender, and person of its antecedent.
