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.

Give him credit for saying Progressiveness as an ideology although it might better be called a religious practice....of which I don't participate in their practices.
To heck with your selfish pronouns.
Id rather know what your adjectives are.
Kindness, strength, honesty.... and so on.
“Offending and being offended are now the twin addictions of our society.”
— Martin Amis
We’re expected to change the language to accommodate less than 1% of the population who have issues. What’s worse than an individual using actual plural pronouns are the words that are completely made up — ze, zim, etc. Who can keep up with that? I ain’t playing.
All of the accommodation of this class of people reminds me of the “Seinfeld” episode in which Lloyd Braun has just been released from the mental hospital and Kramer bends over the backwards to make sure Braun has no doubts about his sanity.
Braun: “Am I crazy, or did I see Jerry wearing glasses?”
Kramer: “Of course, you’re not crazy! Jerry has always worn glasses.” (And then he makes Jerry wear glasses around Braun.)
And Braun decides to order an old roller hot dog at a theater snack bar:
Snack Bar Guy: “Are you crazy? That hot dog has been around since the silent era!”
Kramer: No, he isn’t crazy!
Snack Bar Buy: You’d have to be INSANE to eat that!
Kramer: Why, that’s a perfectly SANE thing to eat! Here, let me have it. (And he promptly throws up.)
When the animals take over the zoo, it is incumbent on the citizens to close the zoo.
Id rather know what your adjectives are.
Kindness, strength, honesty.... and so on.
Sheesh now I'm back to fourth grade grammar class by Mrs. Stevens.
I will still be using the pronoun that fits......... freak
someone’s got zir panties in a wad
“Id rather know what your adjectives are.
Kindness, strength, honesty.... and so on.”
Those are nouns.
My pronouns are Zethstra and Cjubuphloxyl (the “p” is both invisible and silent); but only for another 8 minutes; they change daily. Microaggress me at your peril, simpleminded bigot!
Kind, strong, honest and so on.... sorry.
My pronouns are “Your Excellency” and “Your Majesty.”
Lol, sounds good to me. Make ‘em live by their stupid rules.
People who publish pronouns are too intellectually inferior and weak to stop doing it since the only reason they do it in the first place is simply to conform to what everyone else is doing.
Humans are weak, folks.
The problem is "reality is what you believe it to be" (i.e., post-modernism).
If you want to defeat an enemy, you first have to define him accurately (did I just say "him"?).
I positively reserve the right to call anyone anything that I desire. If you don’t like it, either go f#ck yourself or try to do something about it. I’ll live with the consequences.
“discontinue three pronoun genders and establish only one,”
No. That’s still playing their game, and buckling under to their efforts to annihilate tradition.
I remember when boys were addressed as “Master”. My aunt, a proper school teacher used that.
” ... pronouns are Trump/Won..”
Good one!
