This information was part of the University of Pittsburghs Gender-Inclusive/Non-Sexist Language Guidelines and Resources document.
The University of Pittsburgh has released a set of Gender-Inclusive/Non-Sexist Language Guidelines and Resources informing instructors how they should be talking in their classrooms in order to not offend anyone.
One suggestion is to ask students to write down preferred names and pronouns on the first day while also keeping in mind that just because a student wanted a particular pronoun on the first day doesnt mean that he/she/they/zi/zie will always want that pronoun because a persons gender identity may change over time.
Zi and zie are provided as examples of gender-neutral pronouns in the document, as well as the singular use of the pronoun they.

And no doubt he wants to intimately study and observe the details of the change as well.
Dare anyone say that students' mental state may change over time, but not their genders?
So if genders are whatever the person perceives, can I perceive myself to be a black man and get additional affirmative action points?
So, changing a word changes everything for them, huh?
I want my gender to change to ‘no longer liable for taxes.’
They’re deconstructing marriage and gender.
The end result is a blank slate to recreate society, in the liberal mind.

This is where teaching more online courses than face to face is a plus. I don’t care what they hack off their bodies or try to grow on it; as long as they put in a best effort, meet all of the requirements, and take responsibility for their own success or failure.
Zi and Zie?
I prefer “it.”
So are they admitting that gay people can become normal?
How is this even a thing? It didn’t exist 5 years ago, and now all of the sudden it’s everywhere with everyone. Such cr@p.
Oh, yeah, there you go, bringing Science into this, when it is all about feelings, word games by academics, and not recognizing profound mental illness related to sexuality as such.
It is all to destroy Western Civilization-—which has to destroy Reason and Logic (Natural Laws/Civil Laws based on Truth/God/Reason) and make children believe that “snow is black” (Fichte 1810-—to destroy Free Will and create ignorant “happy slaves” for the State (Tribal Minds).
The Leftists have to destroy the Natural Family to get control over the minds of children (state institutions) to remove all Natural instincts and Common Sense which can only exist in Reality-—not artificial settings where they manipulate the emotions of children to tie it to concepts so they are like Pavlov’s dog.....they will feel “uncomfortable” and revulsion at any Christian concept-—or Natural concept.
They are instilling demonic ethics (emotions) into little children. Get them OUT of any public schools and remove all TV-—unless it is pro-Western Civilization (Pro-Christian/Unity/Patriotism, Virtue-Promotion).
Socrates: Without Virtue, there is no Freedom possible in a society. ALL VIRTUE IS LEARNED AND HABITUATED IN CHILDHOOD. WITHOUT ROLE MODEL OF LOVING MOTHER AND FATHER , THERE WILL BE NO VIRTUE (unless a miracle happens). GET BACK THE MINDS OF YOUR CHILDREN-—Virtue comes from within-—it is NOT forced onto children. Education comes from WITHIN and Real Life experiences (and reading the Great Books—not books about fathers raping their daughters (Bluest Eyes)====that desire to Know is killed in public institutions and warped and their attitudes and desires are severely WARPED-—as is moral formation-—ON PURPOSE!!!!
The Leftists are destroying Virtue (Excellence/Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, Justice) and creating slaves to base emotions-—where Reason and Logic can NOT exist. WAKE UP!
It’s selection not something that happens when the professors are hired.
Conservatives don’t get hired if the committee knows their politics.
I am really starting to wonder if somebody were to test the water at universities, and the air in the classrooms if they were to find it is composed of 90% estrogen
My grandfather (bless his soul) said “when the women become men and the men become women, all is lost” I pray it is not too late. Plus he said this 40 years ago. How did he know?
Skanky institutions such as this should have the title “university” removed.
They might as well teach “flat earth” and “human-induced climate change”.
This PSA has been brought to you by the word "Reality" and the phrase "Get over yourself."
Wait, what? Zi or Zie? First, I don’t even know how those are supposed to be pronounced.. But on a more serious note, shouldn’t it just be one of them? Or are guys ‘zi’s, and girls are ‘zie’s? Why not then just use he and her?
And as someone else mentioned, a major university espousing the use of ‘they’ as singular? The only time they should be used in the singular is when you don’t know if you’re talking about a singular or plural. Similar to how the masculine is used when the gender is unknown.
