Professor changes preferred pronouns to ‘hilarious/handsome/homosexual’
The College Fix ^ | October 18, 2022 | Jennifer Kabbany

Posted on 10/18/2022 11:12:14 AM PDT by ChipMarne

Kennesaw State University business Professor David Bray recently changed his faculty signature to include his preferred pronouns — “hilarious/handsome/homosexual.”

He knows they’re adjectives, but said: “Why do pronouns get to have all the fun?”

In fact, his newly edited signature is a way to humorously poke holes in the trend that all people must announce on campus their preferred pronouns on everything from nametags and class rosters to in-person introductions and email signatures.

“To me, it’s kind of like compelled speech,” Bray said. “They are trying to force you to say something you are either uncomfortable saying or not willing to say.”

He changed his official faculty signature about three weeks ago. So far, everybody’s loved it, according to feedback he’s gotten, he said.

“Lots of colleagues wrote to me that they love my adjectives,” he told The College Fix in a telephone interview. “I had a student write to me yesterday and said ‘please use my pronouns, princess and pretty.’ That’s the fun part — people think it’s funny too, even my students.”

The reason he may not have received a negative response is because most professors on campus have come to know Bray over the last two years as an outspoken critic of the diversity, equity and inclusion ideology that permeates his campus and so many others.

Even though the business professor is homosexual and predominantly dates black men, he said that because he has openly questioned the DEI mantra, some have called him racist. But he told The College Fix he has no plans to back down.

“Straight white men, I have your back,” he said.

Well, it means even gays and others are discovering how wokeism is ultimately divisive and self-contradictory when put into actual practice.

If you read the whole article he acknowledges they’re not pronouns. He is doing it to make fun of theuniversity’s idiocy. Anyway a lot of people’s pronouns aren’t pronouns anyway frog is in a pronoun but some people use it.

Once I’m closer to retirement, i intend to take advantage of the preferred pronoun option in our employee directory: “your majesty/his majesty” should do.

When they told me they would choose their/xir own pronouns I did nothing.

When they told me they/xie would decide what a pronoun is there was nobody/noxirbody to object.

No "kind of" about it.

They come from the pouch of Rufus Xavier Sasparilla right (I just call him "he")? I know to get my adverbs from "lolly lolly lolly get your adverbs here". I also know that conjunctions come from a train over at "conjunction junction" and I'm even aware of their function. I know what a VERB (That's what's happenin' is). And that a "noun is a person, place, or thing, oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh!". I just never learned about when it is appropriate to end a paragraph.

If I was still working I would tell them to use a**hole/s***head, and then sue them for harassment when they used them.

Except when it comes to ending paragraphs.
