‘Pronouns matter!': This School Is Handing Out Pins With Preferred Personal Pronouns
The Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | December 29, 2016 | Amber Randall

Posted on 12/29/2016 1:43:18 PM PST by kevcol

The pins read “My pronouns are” followed by either “he, him, his,” “she, her, hers” or “they, them, theirs.”

A sign at the library declares that mis-gendering a person can have dangerous consequences and can “invalidate someone’s identity.”

“Because gender is, itself, fluid and up to the individual,” the sign reads. “Each person has the right to identify their own pronouns, and we encourage you to ask before assuming someone’s gender. Pronouns matter!”

I like terms of address like “Your Royal Highness, Your Eminence, etc.

I'm waiting for someone who is genuinely born with ambiguous genitalia to declare that pretending to be something other than your birth gender is an insult to all those who have real problems. Comparable to blackface.

You’re either born a male, or you’re born a female


Liberals feel that we are too focused on body parts, too focused on “binary” definitions of sexuality.

And to them, these “binary” distinctions are themselves bigoted.

To listen to some of this rhetoric on gender and sex issues, you would swear that it’s cool to be gay. You would swear that you just haven’t lived your life, until you have had your hormone treatments and surgery on your body parts.

My old grade school, with male gym teachers, played kickball and dodgeball.

No more. No winning and losing anymore. No sports games where anyone can win.

It’s time to bring down all public schools because they have already destroyed any and all decency in education. They have just become liberal, PC indoctrination mills which are messing generations of kids minds up.

I refuse to "validate" someone's mental illness. His or her is all you're getting from me.

Coming soon to a Miranda Warning near you:

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during any questioning. You have the right to identify your own pronouns. Pronouns matter!"

The market for post-high-school technical schools that also focus on the Classics will soon start to boom.

No bleeping way should we call a singular person “they.” Ridiculous.

IDIOTS, why don’t you expand your minds instead? HE belongs to anyone with a penis, SHE belongs to anyone with a vagina. Allow HEs to behave however they feel, including wearing makeup, dresses, etc. And SHEs might look like linebackers and date other women; who cares? Expand the terms to include ALL BEHAVIOR but the PRONOUN GOES WITH THE JUNK.

So much smarter.

“”I’m sure many of you could come up with similar stories from your school days.””

You’re assuming some of us can remember that far back!!

I had a bet with a classmate in our senior year of high school (early ‘50’s) in a spelling bee. The bet was a sundae! I won and it took 3 years to collect on the bet - after I’d moved to CA from NY State and he was in the Army and came to see me. Two former farm kids and we went to an ice cream parlor on Wilshire Blvd., in Santa Monica and had no clue we were among the “stars”... We still compete with online tests and it’s fun. He’s two weeks late right now getting his results to me from one test. He wouldn’t make a bet this time. Said he’d never live long enough to pay it off! LOL

They don’t put up with this crap in the Spanish or French languages. In those languages every word has an assigned gender (people do not have gender, only words have gender!). If we are only allowed to use politically correct English, I will convert to Spanish. Very few people in this country speak good English anyway.

We’re overlooking a notable part of “1984” coming true: the “Junior Anti Sex League”. Written before convenient contraception, the goal was to invalidate/demean procreative copulation. Today, the same is being achieved by prolific contraception, abortion, LGTBBQ advocacy, and now a huge push to erase any distinction between the plumbing.

My pronouns is:

QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL
ZXCVBNM

College snowflakes better damned well use them and pronounce them CORRECTLY as I do. If they ask me to pronounce the pronouns for them, that is exerting privilege against me because they aren’t handicapped with such difficult pronouns and I will be triggered.

When I ask for a coloring book, I expect to get this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009DP5OQ8/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1

I do not understand the plural usage of they, them as it pertains to a single person. All I can think is that these people are reflecting their demonic possession. They are possessed by Legion hence the plural usage for a single individual.
