More Than 50 Colleges Endorsing The First Ever Holiday Of Zieselves, Xerselves, Eirselves

More than 50 colleges are endorsing the inaugural International Pronouns Day on Oct. 17 to make asking, sharing, and respecting personal pronouns commonplace.
Just as it can be offensive or even harassing to make up a nickname for someone and call them that nickname against their will, it can be offensive or harassing to guess at someones pronouns and refer to them using those pronouns if that is not how that person wants to be known, according to MyPronouns.org. Or, worse, actively choosing to ignore the pronouns someone has stated that they go by could imply the oppressive notion that intersex, transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people do not or should not exist.
The International Pronouns Day board consists of various people representing a range of universities from Ithaca College in New York to the University of Michigan to the University of Wisconsin. The holiday campaign is an independent project supported by endorsers.
Ways people can celebrate include asking campuses or student groups to make pronouns an optional field in student records, distributing educational materials in high traffic places like libraries and letting people make their own pronoun buttons, according to the holidays website.
Endorsers outside of colleges include Association of Title IX Administrators, various Planned Parenthood chapters and the American Sociological Association.

Ze have lost it.
How ironic. They want to throw of the mantle of they, them, those and pick titles that specify the same thing but using kindergarten language.
My personal pronoun is “Your Lordship”.
Want to increase the pychos suicide rates? Change Restrooms from Men and Women to XX and XY.
I’ve got a better idea. Instead of treating people the way that they want to be treated, I’m going to treat them the way that I want to treat them.
What....no queerselves. DISCRIMINATION!
So, what we have is a list of 50 colleges which have thrown their intellectual standards into the street, taken a bodacious Obama on them, and left them to stink in the sun.
Send your “chillens” there only if you really do not give a **** about your money or their education.
Of if your kids are so d*mned stupid that these are the only colleges offering grade school level courses but issue a (worthless) degree, sign them up. Wait for vagina costumes, multiple tats, and their post graduating job at Starbucks (or the New York Times).
“it can be offensive or harassing to guess at someones pronouns and refer to them using those pronouns if that is not how that person wants to be known,
So I’m supposed to have mind-reading
capabilities of how someone wishes to
be addressed?
I’ve used some pretty colorful metaphors
when addressing some, and it was meant to
embarrass or harass.
Zey can go zuck zemselves...
Well isn’t that just so zxspecial.
Man I am out if it. I dont even know what they are trying to ban.
Not even original. Jack Benny and Mel Blanc did something similar way back in the early 1960s. The Si, Sy, Sew, Sue routine...
Hard to believe I still remember it, I’m not senile-YET!

They could just learn Tagalog and use that.
Its an ungendered language. No gendered personal pronouns.
No need to mutate English.
===========================================
==============================================
This is nothing less than destruction of the English language.
Festivus for the rest of us.
To make it simple....If you are a white man you are guilty.
And Sen.Maxie Hirono would remind you: Just Shut Up.
We can go sit in chairs in the corner and wait for the Ocasio and David Hogg uniformed officers to come to take us to the gulag dungeons before execution.
