‘Ze/Zir’: Goldman Sachs Encourages Employees to Use Gender-Neutral Pronouns
Msn ^

Posted on 04/12/2023 8:54:14 AM PDT by Red in Blue PA

Goldman Sachs is distributing a pamphlet to employees that was drafted by the investment bank’s internal LGBT group and encourages staff to use recently developed gender-neutral pronouns, including “Ze” and “Zir.”

The employee guide, distributed by the firm’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender network, directs employees to “proactively share [their] pronouns to foster an environment of respect and awareness.” The hand out provides examples of “the most common” gender-neutral pronouns but leaves open the possibility that some employees may ask to be referred to by pronouns that are not included on the list or may ask that their coworkers refrain from referring to them using pronouns entirely.

“Ze went to the store. I spoke with zir/zem. The apple was zirs/zes,” reads one example of the employee guide, which was first publicized by the student-run Stanford University newspaper, the Stanford Review

If anyone asks you for your preferred pronoun, simply tell them your name!

Pronouns are used to replace your common name.

Examples:

That guy is an awesome Freeper!
He is a pre-millennial Freeper.
He is friends with that rebel John Robinson
That's HIM! The one that posts all those stupid Monty Python gifs like Dfwgator. They are the same! I tell you!

DCBryan1 is an awsome Freeper!
DCBryan1 is a pre-millennial Freeper.
DCBryan1 is friends with that rebel John Robinson
DCBryan1 posts all those stupid Monty Python gifs like Dfwgator. They are the same! I tell you!

Why change anything at all? Any change hands them a victory.

Politely but firmly refuse to play along. If you get fired sue them for wrongful termination since this insanity was only encouraged and not mandatory.

Satan loves to sow confusion. He's very busy in these times.

Gender / race need to be removed from all employment and school applications. Let them stand on merit.

The up-side to this gender insanity is that kids are learning at least some parts of speech. They can identify a pronoun.

Not only will it not end, it will get worse.

Notice the word “encourages” in the headline. That will soon change to “demands”.
But the real fun will start when some lunatic Muslim employee refuses to play along.

It will.

But only at Armageddon.

The world seems Hell-bent, literally, on making it happen.

Genesis 19 is happening again. Just as Romans 1:24-32 prophesied as well.

Genesis 19:27-28 KJV

27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the Lord:

28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.

One of my medical patient portals keeps requesting that I sellect my pronouns. I refuse to play along. I and most others did the same at work when they tried that nonsense.

Insanity.

And enabling by people who also must be insane. This is beyond enabling. Commies prove themselves likewise insane.

Not until the companies doing it either go out of business for being stupid or they lose enough money that their investors fire the morons doing it.

I actually don’t even understand why this is such a big deal.

How often does one use the 3rd person (these pronouns) in front of the subject person?

If they never hear themselves being spoken of in 3rd person, why does it matter?

It matters because you might be thinking the wrong pronouns.

A capital crime, if there ever was one.
