What in the frick

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana – Tulane University’s student government is requesting that students and professors add their preferred gender pronoun at the end of emails and during conversations on campus.

Seems conversationally awkward.

"His Majesty"

That's too egotistical. I'd settle for 'The Kingfish.'

I'd settle for "Sir."

Caroline Scott, one of the Tulane Student Government officials backing the change because of "recent political events"

I am a passionate, detail-oriented undergraduate student of Public Health, with a strong dedication to health equity and social justice with concentrations in LGBTQ+ health, reproductive rights, and sexual health promotion. With experience in Student Health, interaction with new and incoming students, and experience in diverse healthcare environments, I have displayed a constant dedication to public health. My long-term goal is to work in healthcare, especially with a social-justice oriented, research-based focus on adolescent, college, and/or LGBTQ+ health.

“Because pronouns are so integrated into our everyday language, we take them for granted without realizing that trans and gender nonconforming individuals often have to constantly think about their pronouns,” Scott continued.

Um, no. They don't.

Someone presenting as male wants to be called he. Someone presenting as female wants to be called she. It's not complicated.

Nobody is going to mistake me for a female so I don't need to tell them what pronoun to use.

Someone has a huge case of penis envy.

As an alumnus of the business school I'm truly embarrassed and am stopping all donations unless they refer to me as Duke of Pussy Grabber.
