        Amended: I use whatever pronoun my students choose for themselves, simply because I want to retain my professorship.

        The English language has a long history of adapting. However, the adoption of these pronouns should come about naturally as opposed to forcing individuals through legal action to use them. This is happening in Canada right now with bill C-16, oppressing freedom of speech.

        Nobody calls someone he, she, him or her out of respect. People use honorifics out of respect (Mr. Mrs. Ms. Dr. etc...). The author wrongly conflates pronouns with honorifics. A university professor should know better.

        I have 82 students this semester. No way I can remember what each one wants to be called (though this has not been a problem at my uni...not elite enough? 😁)

        We should just switch to using "they" always. That's how it should've been done initially. We could've selectively referred to people by their height, age, hair color, etc. and society just chose gender failing to account for ambiguity.

        there's nothing "simple" about somebody losing their shit because you don't refer to them as "Thou". and they're not even Quaker.

        Whether we celebrate or lament should kinda depend on why it's being changed... https://www.npr.org/blogs/ombudsman/Politics_and_the_English_Language-1.pdf …

        I have no idea how to use ze, zir, etc in a sentence but I’m more than willing to learn. However, if learning comes with the threat of legal action then not so much. It’s not bc I’m transphobic, I’m just legal jeopardy phobic.

        isn’t he/him/his inherently neutral. i know we say it’s masculine when we teach it, but my understanding was that it was neutral if you look at it’s root.
