This information was part of the University of Pittsburgh’s “Gender-Inclusive/Non-Sexist Language Guidelines and Resources” document.
The University of Pittsburgh has released a set of “Gender-Inclusive/Non-Sexist Language Guidelines and Resources” informing instructors how they should be talking in their classrooms in order to not offend anyone.
One suggestion is to ask “students to write down preferred names and pronouns” on the first day while also keeping in mind that just because a student wanted a particular pronoun on the first day doesn’t mean that he/she/they/zi/zie will always want that pronoun because “a person’s gender identity may change over time.”
“Zi” and “zie” are provided as examples of gender-neutral pronouns in the document, as well as the singular use of the pronoun “they.”

Really??? We really need to have some huge policy pronouncement, to cater to the one in a million students who will have a sex change operation while in college??? We really have to go there????
And why are we hearing so much about “trans-gendered” people nowadays?? Geez, you would swear that you just haven’t lived until you have had your sex change operation...........
Professor Leep says, That’s it i quit.
Sounds like a disgusting place to send your child for an education.
Flatworms ? Percula Clownfish ? Anemonefish and Gobys ? Water Fleas ?
A major American university encourages use of "they" as a singular pronoun?
If they hadn't jumped the shark before, they have now.
Yes, my gender has changed over time to “Majesty.” From now on all liberals must address me as “Your Majesty,” to other people as “His Majesty,” and so forth. Anyone who doesn’t do so is simply Buggophopic and must be fired from their jobs immediately.
College professors must agree to be inoculated with some sort of ‘stupid serum’ when they sign their employment contract.
And what instrument do they use to change every smidgeon of DNA in their entire bodies?
This agenda has sadly become common place in many schools.
More proof of Bush caused climate change.
The freaks really have taken over
Some adolescents, teenagers, and even young adults nowadays like to exhibit outrageous behavior to demonstrate just how special they are. Grown ups shouldn’t be forced to cater to this.
I am so ashamed.
Yeah, I’m gonna go with “Zi Highness.”
The XY sex-determination system is the sex-determination system found in humans, most other mammals, some insects (Drosophila), and some plants (Ginkgo). In this system, the sex of an individual is determined by a pair of sex chromosomes (gonosomes). Females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic sex.
This system is in contrast with the ZW sex-determination system found in birds, some insects, many reptiles, and other animals, in which the heterogametic sex is female.
Black is white.
Man = woman ... and/or androgynous whatever.
1+1=3
What color is the sky in your world?
Good luck with that one. The professors around here are a little jealous of their lord-of-the-classroom status and do NOT like their English corrected by PC sociology dropout staffers. And try firing one.
