University of Tennessee tells staff and students to stop using 'he' and 'she' - and switch to 'xe', 'zir' and 'xyr' instead

• Gay rights official at Knoxville campus wrote new language instructions
• Tells students and staff to use unusual, gender-neutral pronouns like 'xe'
• Donna Braquet said that the new regime would make campus 'inclusive'
• University clarified that guidelines are not compulsory after critics called them 'absurd'

The University of Tennessee has told its staff and students to stop calling each other 'he', 'she', 'him' and 'her' - and to start referring to one another with terms like 'xe', 'zir' and 'xyr' instead.

The Knoxville branch of the public university, which has 27,400 students, sent a memo round to its members filled with unusual new parts of speech to avoid referring to anybody's gender.

According to a gay rights official at the university, the new language regime will make the university 'welcoming and inclusive' and stop people feeling 'marginalized'.

She also advises staff members not to call roll in class, and to instead greet every student by asking them to announce their name and pronoun of preference.

Instead of 'he' and 'she', Braquet suggests four alternatives.

One is the commonplace strategy of using 'they', 'them' and 'their' for individuals rather than groups.
She also suggests 'ze' and 'xe' - both pronounced 'zhee' - and a variety of secondary conjugations to be used for anybody who rejects the traditional gender binary.

Barquet argues that if everybody follows her instructions, campus will become 'more inclusive'.

Oooops, did I copy and paste facts again?

Yes folks, this is where it is going. They have already convinced the useless idiots that the word "waitress" is offensive.

Now pronouns are offensive.

Look at the fat lesbian kuuunt with her thick dark rimmed glasses.

Just in case you all needed another legitimate reason to hate liberals more today than you did yesterday. They, are such a scourge on human liberty.

LOL.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Maybe its time they fund themselves

 

[ScienceRocks]

This is fucking idiocy...Male and females is simply biology and if they think otherwise then they're insane.

 

[Theowl32]

We do not have such problems in our species. We know and there is no question. There are no complaints.

It just is.......

The OP is a nutbag and, therefore, will believe just about anything.

The thread title is not accurate.

As crazy as this sounds it does make a bit of sense. "He or she" is just plain awkward in many contexts.

I find he or she is awkward in some situations, particularly when you have to use it a lot. Using the pronoun "they" is just wrong in many situations because it's plural. There really is no gender neutral pronoun. Therefore you should come up with a gender specific word such as child, workmen, person. However in some contexts this just does not fit well and seems awkward. What the language needs is sexual general pronouns. I suspect that will happen in about 500 years. Until then it's he or she or a generic noun.

 

[Flopper]

This is fucking idiocy...Male and females is simply biology and if they think otherwise then they're insane.

I think this is about writing accurately. It really goes much further than just generic pronouns. My son is a free lance writer. He once did a piece in which the subject was a seamstress. The problem was it was a man and not a women. After he wrote the article, the gentlemen asked him not to call him a seamstress as he was man. So my son decided to substituted tailor. It was pointed out that a tailor was not the same as a seamstress. He decided on "male sewer". I read it and told him it sounded crazy. He changed it to seamster and the editor told him no one knows what a seamster is, so he changed it back to seamstress.

The problem is our language is very sexist. There are many words in our language that are gender specific even though the words now refers to either gender. At one time all nurses were women. As men became nurses, they objected to the word because most people assumed they were women when they saw that their profession was nurse.

Barquet argues that if everybody follows her instructions, campus will become 'more inclusive'.

A perfect example of wrong-wing “logic”—create a “welcoming and inclusive” environment and “stop people feeling 'marginalized'” by alienating and marginalizing the vast majority of people in order to cater to a tiny minority of freaks.

I AM ALL FOR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

IN THE NEW LANGUAGE HOW DO TALIBANERS SAY :

*PUSSY

*I WANT TO FUCK

*I WANT A BLOW JOB

* MUFF DIVE

IS IT OK FOR MEN TO STILL WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH WOMEN?

 

[theDoctorisIn]

The university told students nothing of the sort - a club on campus did.

The Politics forum is being annexed by the Rubber Room!
