'His Majesty': Student single-handedly defeats an army of gender neutral activists
Fox ^ | 9/30/2016

When future generations read about the “Great Gender Pronoun Wars” of the early twenty-first century, they will most certainly learn of Grant Strobl – a noble and mighty king.

“His Majesty” is an unlikely title for a 21-year-old political science major from Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

In less than 24-hours, the brave conservative single-handedly defeated an army of gender neutral activists at the University of Michigan.

Think David versus a gender confused Goliath.

The University of Michigan recently announced a new initiative to allow students to select their preferred gender pronouns through an online service.

It was designed as a way to help professors tell the difference between the guys and the gals and the zi’s and the zir’s.

“Asking about and correctly using someone’s designated pronoun is one of the most basic ways to show your respect for their identity and to cultivate an environment that respects all gender identities,” wrote Provost Martha Pollack in an email to students and faculty.

It’s all part of the university’s effort to foster an “environment of inclusiveness.”

The university actually created a “pronoun committee” to ensure that faculty members “play a vital role in ensuring all of our community feels valued, respected and included.”

It was in that spirit of inclusivity that Grant decided to have a bit of fun. He logged into the university’s computer system, clicked on the “Gender Identity Tab” and promptly declared his new designated pronoun.

“You could put anything you wanted into the system,” Grant told me. “So I did.”

And so it was in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Sixteen that Grant Strobl came to be known as “His Majesty” – Noble Ruler of the Wolverines.

Yes, good readers – Grant Strobl changed his designated pronoun to “His Majesty.”

You need to add “and holder of the highest score in Super Mario Brothers.”

The mistress, maybe? Or the slave?

LOL! So will I.

The only thing I am fairly sure of is that "I am Groot" is probably not it.

Joshua Norton of 19th century San Francisco styled himself ‘Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico’. Hard to top that.

“Master” would also work (but provoke much more outrage).
