University of Minnesota faculty, staff to undergo LGBT pronoun training
College Fix ^ | January 1, 2020 | Daniel Payne

Faculty and staff at the University of Minnesota are gearing up to undergo pronoun training in order to make the campus a more welcoming environment for “transgender” and “non-binary” community members.

A university policy first floated in the summer of 2018 and recently finalized dictates that university employees “are expected to use the names, gender identities and pronouns specified to them by university members.” Failing to abide by this policy “could result in discipline,” according to the policy’s FAQ page.

I already speak English, and don’t need help with pronouns.

This is serious. They have already set it up so they can fire you and jail you for using the “wrong” pronouns. They are serious about it. Yes, they’re insane, but they are the ones making the rules.

I wonder how long until other languages, like Spanish and French get rid of the concept of gender for nouns.

I’d call the U of Minn administrator’s who came up with this hairbrained idea a bunch of stupid a-holes, but they’d accuse me of being insensitive to those dealing with colon cancer. I say play it safe and refer to each other as apparently sentient blobs of protoplasm. But that would be offensive to those who self identify as trans terrestrial. You just can’t win with PC “not sees”.

A bastardization of the English language. But the professors are okay with it as long as it serves the Leftwing agenda.

Remember when “blowing a tranny” meant serious car trouble?

The “doesn’t affect anyone else” crowd strikes again.

I was sick on the day of training so cannot be held accountable for any alleged offenses. Also, I will be sick for any make-up training.

Why are ‘educated’ people so stupid.

And you haven’t even heard the worst of it.

Read the first chapter of the book of Romans; it explains everything, especially the verse that states, “professing themselves wise, they became fools.”

Which is why we’ve needed regular Article V Conventions of the States.

Homosexuals want to pick their pronouns now? Good idea, so they’ll be recognizable.
