New York City’s taxi drivers are getting schooled on personal pronouns.
City taxi regulators are requesting that licensed hacks ask passengers whether they identify as he, she, they — or ze, according to an “inclusive language tips” email blasted out to drivers Wednesday morning.
“Using someone’s preferred pronoun is a simple way to show respect,” read the email, which was signed by the Taxi and Limousine Commission’s Office of Inclusion.

Something about ze was familiar I could swear I'd seen ze face before But ze said, "I'm sure you're mistaken" And ze didn't say anything more

If it was Joisey, the only pronoun taxi drivers need is “youse.”

It doesn’t matter how much my Island is insulated from the UTTERLY SICK CESSPOOL called manhattan.
Sooner or later it will reach Staten Island so it’s REALLY time to get to PA.
Though I can’t see many Italian and Irish men giving a sh.t about what’s “proper” now when it’s INSANE!!

“He” and “She” are the only real proper pronouns...

LOL! Good one! I’ve only been to New Jersey a couple of times, mostly just passing through. But my college buddy invited me to visit his hometown (about 40 years ago). It is called Milford, and it is along the Deleware River. I was amazed at how beautiful it was.

How does a person know when a perpetually offended snowflake wants the particular “correct” pronoun BEFORE they blow up at you?
Doesn’t seem to be much shuffle room once the first impression goes horribly bad.

First of all, lots of the NYC drivers would have to learn to speak & understand english... That, in itself, would be another discriminatory action...
Life would be even more wonderful if these two forms of discrimination had the same characteristics as matter and anti-matter... A major part (or all) of the current NYC could just wink out of existence in a glorious flash of light...

If you are talking directly to someone why would you use anything other than “you”?

Greatest comedy show ever ever ever. If you belong to Amazon prime they have all the episodes. I watch them all all the time. “What does a yellow light mean?” of at the piano recital “And now I would like to do my impression of a water cooler”
