U of Michigan Student Successfully Changes His Preferred Pronoun to ‘His Majesty’ on Class Roster
Heat Street ^

Posted on 09/29/2016 7:58:13 PM PDT by TigerClaws

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!

Has anybody heard the word “ze” used in real life? Sounds to me like someone is attempting a fake German accent like in old WW2 movies.

When I was a young boy, my grandmother would formally address me as Master, which is classically correct, but I think it would be cool if all these SJW’s would have to address me as Master. That's the pronoun I would pick.

Unbelievable that the “great” center of learnings here in the US are making such fools of themselves.

Wait until somebody tries “Grand Kleagle” or “Exalted Cyclops” (which, by the way, was Demoncrat Senator Bob Byrd’s title).

Same here..

I am guessing this experiment will fail and they will just refer to everyone as comrade
