Call me Star Lord.

I think we should all stop using pronouns entirely, in order to take this weapon away from the Left. Seriously. Just repeat their names over and over and over, and use "you" or "them" if you don't have an individual name, or are referring to a group.

No laws or social rules can force me to use pronouns. If anyone gets in your face about it, pretend to be even more uber liberal than they are. "Pronouns are so dehumanizing. I prefer to use names, as long as I know what they are (to explain your and them)". Make them live by their own rules (used to be my tag line).

[KSCITYBOY]

I like it.

Are you forced to pick from an approved list? What if some student demanded to be called “Dr.” (doctor) even though they had not yet earned a PhD.? Or worse, that they demanded to be called “Reverend”?

This is chaos and anti-truth.

“The artist formerly known as”...

Xe/xir/xyr/zir/hir/they/vey/hu/thon are specifically intended to avoid that kind of clarity.

[Josa]

My pronoun. “I’m always right”

[Chode]

[pepsionice]

I noticed some student from Michigan State put up his new pronoun....”His Majesty”.

I like that one....so I’ll adapt it as well. Please address me when speaking though.

[samtheman]

I long ago switched to using moron when referring to these morons.

[wbill]

Well, the world may have taken a turn for the worse when we eliminated "The" from our names. William the Conqueror, Vlad the Impaler, Atilla the Hun all come to mind immediately.

Perhaps we're going back to that old standard. I'll choose "WBill the Inevitable".

[HombreSecreto]

Just call me “The Dude.” :)

[I want the USA back]

It’s all about destroying the value system learned from parents and church.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Mental illness should be treated; not normalized.

[Right Wing Assault]

"Class, has anyone seen Hermaphrodite Barry Obama today? And how about Mister Rosie O’Donnell?"

[Moltke]

Who could possibly keep track?

[rightsmart]

“Professor, I’m a ‘she’ but i’m transitioning to an ‘it.’ For now please call me ‘sh-it’ for my personal pronoun.”

[Mears]

Reading this confirms my belief that the USA is truly going insane.

I think Christians ought to go biblical and demand the use of ‘thee’, ‘thy’, and ‘thou’.

If everyone who is a Christian does this, they will get the message very soon - unless the universities decide to outlaw those pronouns as microagressions.
