Stop the pronoun craziness
Alan M. Perlman PHD ^ | 10/26/19 | Alan M. Perlman PHD

This is a message that the p.c. crowd — in the media, in the universities – needs to hear again and again, because they don’t get it, especially when a Presidential candidate (Warren) announces “her” pronouns on the debate stage, and a teacher is fired for not using the student’s preferred pronouns. It is not enough, the argument goes, to have pronouns of two genders, when there are so many other genders. We need more pronouns!

Can’t keep up

Along with pronoun enforcement, duplicitous, contemptible euphemisms, another key element of politically correct language, continue to proliferate. I can’t keep up.

If someone demands you use their pronouns not derived from merely observing nature, tell them you don’t participate in other people’s crazy.

And yet corporations and schools and health care orgs and government and, and, and, and all dutifully fall in line and say “Yessir...we will declare our pronouns.”

Last week, a nurse asked me my preferred pronoun, I said "kiss my ass."

The solution is so simple: Merely discontinue three pronoun genders and establish only one, neither masculine, feminine, nor neuter—or perhaps only neuter.

Stand your ground. I refuse to be a “birthing person” and not “Dad”. I will not play that game under any circumstances.

When I was young my grandmother sent me a letter.
The salutation began with “Master” followed by my name.
That was a now obsolete form of polite address for a young man.
If anyone is ever dumb enough to ask for my pronouns Master is what I will go with.

Tell them your pronouns are Trump/Won...and make them repeat them.

Well, if someone doesn’t like “he” or “she”, English does provide a very concise word as another option.

“It”.

Isn’t it enough to let them know you have called them crazy?

Kamala at meeting: I am Kamala Harris and my pronouns are she and her. I am a woman in a blue suit.

With that, KH showed herself to be a totally unserious person, not “presidential” material ... try that garbage with Putin, Xi, etc al & they will laugh her out of the room.

Pro-verbs are better than Pro-nouns.

Tired of the article the.

So far, I’ve been fortunate not to have anybody ask me that.

If they did, I’d have to say something along the lines of “I don’t play that stupidity.”

He’s correct saying “society is awash in the language of division and ‘manufactured’ sensitivity, amplified a million-fold by electronic/social media.”.......
