Max, age 13, is agender neither male nor female. When referring to Max, you don't use "he" or "she;" you use "they."
Once strictly a pronoun of the plural variety, "they" is now doing double duty as singular, too referring to individuals, like Max, who do not see gender as an either/or option. (NPR agreed not to use Max's last name, because the family feared the sort of online threats that have been made to other transgender families.)
If the whole he/she pronoun thing feels awkward to you, Max is sympathetic and patient.
'We are seeing more and more kids saying, 'You know what? What's with this either-or business? What's with this boy-girl and you have to fit in one box or the other?' "
"I can't expect anyone to use the right pronouns for me because it's not a thing that people know," Max tells me. "It's been great being myself, but it's also been really hard for people to get it, and for even family to get pronouns and stuff."
npr waste of resources and time.
Max is a pervert nut job.
I call horseshit on this.
Which of course opens up the possibility that this is another "Jimmy's World" fully-made-up-out-of-whole cloth BS story made to promote an agenda and compete for some journalism prize.
Oh please. Thats like saying the word bank cant mean a place that money is kept safe because it refers to the side of a creek. Wtbout the equivocation the word genderis used to mean either which sex an animal is , or which gender a noun is in some languages, or in outdated usage the type or category. In the context of people it means whuch sex.
Pull your shorts down, Max, and we’ll tell you what you are. This isn’t that complicated!
I agree that the culture seems to follow the president....Bush was a wimp...his second term at least.
No, they fail biology.
This is the purpose of the “homosexual” word creation in 1800s, along with the Marxist “gender” theory garbage. Control the info—the Language and you can control the Minds of the masses, esp. if you get little children in your artificial indoctrination factories. The Lucifereans (sodomites in Hollywood) have been shaping your children for 60s years so they “think” “up is down” and “evil is ‘cool””. Vice makes Slaves for the State only. Promotion of vice 24/7 to little children destroys virtue formation and the ability to have a Christian worldview. Virtue is essential for free will and individualism (thinking for self).
The Marxists are destroying Language and all traditions by brainwashing in their vile systems of Common Core (lies), NCLB and Goals 2000 (all lies where they ban Truth (God)).
It is to destroy reason and logic in human beings, making them into the ignorant useful idiots (cattle) that Lenin wanted. Pavlov and Fichte designed the “Prussian SKOOL system to remove young children from their mother and father, (real life, free association) so that they could be emotionally destroyed, totally controlled, and made into irrational “group-(non)-thinkers”—just warped beings (totally dehumanized— so they are incapable of critical thought) like the thing above.
Good...Wait til a REAL woman NEVER wins another sporting event....Wait til REAL women can’t get jobs requiring upper body strength because hiring a “trans-woman” who has the strength of a man fills a quota....
It is just another fault line along which people can be divided, to allow a radical minority of post-Christian Bolsheviks to seize power. Otoken only attacked normalcy and encouraged the small sexual deviant minority; nobody took any cues from him on anything.
The problem is that too many Americans won’t breed, so normalcy is disappearing.
A new generation ignores science.
I have an idea, why don’t they try to overthrow gravity next.
That is one of three definitions in websters per 1828. Use the link in my comment 36 and see that definition 2 means male or female. Dont get fooled by wikipedia edits by revisionists.
