'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.”

Here’s how I would handle it:

Me: “My chosen pronoun is ‘Sir’.”

Admin: “But ‘Sir’ can only be conferred by a Monarch, sir.”

Me: “I was in Key West last week. There are plenty of queens there. One of them was in a souvenir shop and asked me ‘can I help you, Sir?’ It had just the right amount of lisp, and raising of eyebrows, so it’s nice and legal. And I would think if you question the validity of that, wouldn’t that make you a homophobe?”

I’m split between “Hail, Caesar!” or “Mein Führer!”

“...my choice was “Master of the Universe”.

I have a buddy who once had that title printed on his business cards. He was a salesman, and told me it was a great ice breaker with prospective clients.

“What did he sell? Toys?”

Life insurance, financial planning, investments, etc.

I know, but he claimed it made his customers relax. He was pretty successful.
