KU library offers buttons to make students preferred gender pronouns clear
Posted on 12/28/16 at 7:03 pm
Posted on 12/28/16 at 7:03 pm
quote:
The buttons come in three versions: "He him his," ''She her hers" and, for people who don't identify themselves as male or female, "They them theirs."
"Because gender is, itself, fluid and up to the individual," a sign at the libraries reads. "Each person has the right to identify their own pronouns, and we encourage you to ask before assuming someone's gender. Pronouns matter! Misgendering someone can have lasting consequences, and using the incorrect pronoun can be hurtful, disrespectful, and invalidate someone's identity."

Where are the buttons for those of us that identify as a dolphin?

It's time for alums to start speaking out on this dumb shite with their pocketbooks.

The last one should read-
"My Pronouns Are:
Dumbass
Dumbass
Dumbass"
"My Pronouns Are:

My pronoun would have to be "God" or "God's", if using the possessive.
They can't refuse me if I self identify as an immortal and omnipotent being.

I'm not delusional about Trump, but I do think his America will tone this down quite a bit.

Big fan of this move. Hope they become widespread.
Wont waste my time talking to anyone wearing one of these buttons.

Violence can solve this problem.

If only these PC people would put their minds towards improving healthcare, education, and reducing FINANCIAL inequality in the world (aka reducing poverty). None of this shite solves any real problems.

So let's say you are taking a French test, but you give the female or male version of the worday improperly... can you claim you have the right to choose the gender so it should be correct???? Someone please try this and see how that works out for you, and please let us know...

They should wear these buttons to job interviews.

The silver lining in this goofiness is that use of plural pronouns. I hate writing "his or her" and "he or she" when making general gender-less statements (e.g., "if one goes to the store 'he or she" shouldn't forget 'his or her' credit card).
