I ran across this, and these people are actually promoting this lunacy.
Thank God I was well out of school before they dreamed up this nuttery.
It's all very confusing and I dare people to try pronouncing sentences using these pronouns out loud.
This is a real article on CNN. They deem this important!
"
And then there are neopronouns (“new” pronouns), gender-neutral or nonbinary pronouns that are distinct from the common she, he and they. Neopronouns include terms like “xe” and “em,” and some of them even date back several centuries, when they were introduced by writers as a solution for referring to subjects without assuming gender. Now, they’re also commonly used by nonbinary and trans people."
"Here are a few relatively common neopronouns, and how to use them, from the
Human Rights Campaign. Note: Some of these pronouns may be pronounced differently based on their user.
xe/xyr (commonly pronounced zee/zeer)
I asked
xyr to come to the movies.
Xe said yes!
ze/zir or
ze/hir (
commonly pronounced zee/zeer or zee/heer)
The teacher graded
zir paper today, and
ze got an A!
Ze said
hirself that I’m
hir favorite neighbor.
fae/faer (commonly pronounced fay/fair)
Fae told me that
faer best friend is in town this week.
ey/em/eir (commonly pronounced aye/em/air)
I’m taking
em to the park today.
Ey wants to bring
eir camera to capture the garden for
emself!
ae/aer (commonly pronounced aye/air)
Ae is my best friend — most of
aer’s weekday evenings are spent at my house."
