Students at Oxford University have been told to use the pronoun “ze” rather than “he” or “she” to eliminate discrimination against transgender people. Guidance offered in a leaflet by the students’ union advises against using traditional pronouns, arguing that doing so suggests there are only two genders. Deliberately using the wrong pronoun for a transgendered person is an offence under the union’s code of conduct.
Peter Tatchell, an LGBT rights campaigner, has welcomed the move, telling Mail Online: “It is a positive thing to not always emphasise gender divisions and barriers.”
He said: “It is good to have gender-neutral pronouns for those who want them but it shouldn’t be compulsory.
“This issue isn’t about being politically correct or censoring anyone. It’s about acknowledging the fact of changing gender identities and respecting people’s right to not define themselves as male or female.
“Giving people the ‘ze’ option is a thoughtful, considerate move.”
Cambridge University has also indicated that it would like to follow a similar path. Sophie Buck, welfare officer of the students’ union, said: “Events start with a speaker introducing themselves using a gender neutral pronoun.
“It’s part of a drive to make the union intersectional.”
And Franky Sissons, a transgender student at King’s College at Cambridge, said: “Gender neutral pronouns are good…It should happen in lectures too.”

Here’s the takeaway:
If you can get people to deny obvious truths then you can then implant whatever truths you wish into the same minds. Then those minds are yours to control.
There was a meme once that went into detail about how you could change English to be more German-like... Hey, I found it:
How English becomes German
Posted by Luminus on May 4, 2006
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as “Euro-English”.
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

Do kids nowadays ALWAYS do what they’re “told” to do?
I guess in Generation Snowflake, they do.
No, it’s a ZE.
Funny. All the zes whom I am attracted to seem to be the zes with breasts, vaginas and long hair. Maybe it’s simply coincidence, b/c we know that all zes are equal, don’t we?
Yes, of course. cough cough
What I find really funny about this, is a very few folks don’t like being called he or she. Makes them uncomfortable. Can’t have that.
So the 97% of the students who are perfectly fine with he she are now submitted to having to be called zes. Who cares if they object?
No problem there...
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The English will never get past this.
They will never harden their phuck with an “f!”
He passed the idiot test:>>>>>>>>>>>>>
LOL.
His, Her’s and Ze’s
Political correctness as liberal fascism defined.
Not the sharpest knives in the drawer at Oxford and Cambridge.
I dunno, this can pretty much be a self-defense tactic for the one addressing the... whatever it is. Refusal to commit, as it were, and a reflection of the recipient’s nebulous nature.
The ‘ze’ mocks & degrades the addressee while offering cover for the beleaguered speaker taxed to avoid offending those who insist upon being disgruntled. And look, it’s even LGBT tested and approved!
I am female.
I absolutely HATE the “Ms’ anyone puts in front of my name.
I keep getting return address labels from ST Judes & other places. They immediately get torn up & thrown away.
The Paralyzed Vets get my name right & they get my donations.
IF I get ANY mail with Ms in front of my name-—I don’t even open it. Just rip it up & toss it.
I was taught he & she. I will continue to use those pronouns.

Correct usage according to “The Urban Dictionary;
” ze
The...only it is used when peopel are trying to pull off a fake french accent”
“That was ze best crossiant ive ever had [sic]”
