Cali State Senator Enforces Gender Neutrality, Bans Committee Use of ‘He’ and ‘She’
Western Journal ^ | January 20, 2019 | C. Douglas Golden

If you’re a legislator on California’s Senate Judiciary Committee, you can no longer use the personal pronouns used to refer to members of the male and female genders. At all. Instead, thanks to the chair of the committee, all members will be referred to as a faceless, grey “they.”

I'd like to note — in respecting the fact that we are now a state recognizing the non-binary designation as a gender — he and she, we are now merging them so we are using what my grammar teacher would have had a heart attack over: we are using the phrase ‘they’ and replacing other designations so it's a gender neutral designation: ‘they,’”


They are insane.

What do the Spanish speakers do. Every word is gender.

Historical stupidity. I mean even the Romans so long ago recognized men as men and women as women.

So, if you’re angry at someone, do you say “Screw they?”

Just refer to everybody as “comrade”. That should work.

Same with German and French. Every word has a gender.

Masculine, feminine.

No, zirs, no zhes, only boys and girls, because that’s all there is, despite what the pointless offspring of a fading species believe.

CA legislators should be addressed with one phrase, “Hey, mo-fo”.
Not exactly gender neutral, but so very appropriate.

“They” is a plural word, meaning two or more people.

If you’re talking about an individual man or woman, how does the word “they” apply?

Like you said, they are insane.

This is what they spend their time on. They must be done with everything important or something.

It's proper if you intend to address the many voices in their head.

This is a trap for normal people. As soon as a normal person uses a normal pronoun he will be attacked. He will be ripped apart and shredded.

Won’t be long before it’s a crime. Wait! it already is!

Reality is what is always was. Changing words doesn’t change reality, but a$$holes think it does.

The photo of the ‘They’ Are they a women or man or neither?
Police: Where did ‘they’ go?
Bystander: ‘They’ went that away”.

Eventually, government edicts will dictate that, when dating someone, that you must also date someone from the opposite sex, just to not discriminate against any gender. All dating will be blind dates, with no idea of the genders to be met.

Equality in everything is denial of nature. It’s unnatural. It’s nonsensical. It’s pure evil. It’s a Godless existence.

The correct pronoun to use would be *it*.

*They* is plural while *he/she/it* are singular.

Romans 1:20-22

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools,

That explains it.
