University of Michigan allows students to choose their own personal pronouns

Personal Pronouns at Michigan
I don't even know where to start.
quote:
The University of Michigan is hoping to “foster inclusiveness” with its latest decision to allow students to choose the personal pronouns they would like faculty and staff to use when talking to them.
The campus directory is giving students the option to be referred to as “he,” “she” or “ze,” a recently developed pronoun intended to be completely gender neutral.
I don't even know where to start.

Such a great university. Why do they have to go down rabbit holes like this and focus on stupid arse shite when they are kicking arse in so many ways? Frustrating.
I'd have given my left nut to have gone to, studied, and gotten a degree from UM. Now it just seems to be taken over by left nuts.

I want my pronoun to be zmeldarg because that's how if feel I should be referred to and if you don't like it or you don't refer to me as zmeldarg, you're a bigot

I'd imagine about 95% of the students there don't give a crap about this stuff and just go to class, do their work, and party on the weekends. It isn't like entire campuses are getting involved in SJW matters.

They're restricting it to only 3 options? What a bunch of shitlords.
What if I don't self-identify as any of those 3 options?
I identify as "ouee" (pronounced "we") which reflects my identification as a cis-male transgender female.
I demand that professors and administration acknowledge my unique existence, and spend time devoting themselves to memorizing asinine gender pronouns and which students prescribe to which ones.

By choosing your personal pronoun, duh.

It's the most prestigious committee on campus

Pronouns should be illegal. The margin of error for hurting someone's feelings, even if by accident, is too great.

frick it, just get rid of all third person pronouns and call everyone by their name. We tried letting people have shortened language and we're obviously not mature enough to use it.
On a sidenote, this has to get confusing as shite in languages with gender-specific nouns. I wonder if there's any French dipshit standing up for the rights of une chat to be whatever gender it likes.

I want my pronoun to be captain, or cpt for short, because I identify as a pirate.
