    Default The English language is collapsing into “Idiocracy” gobbledygook on liberal college campuses

    The English language is collapsing into “Idiocracy” gobbledygook on liberal college campuses as “gender pronoun” lunacy kicks into overdrive
    Friday, May 18, 2018 by: Ethan Huff



    The first known college to do so, the City University of New York (CUNY) – Guttmana, located in New York City, recently distributed and has been actively propagating a “Gender Identity and Pronouns” manifesto that instructs students and faculty on how to further bastardize the English language by replacing its traditional gender pronouns with completely made-up ones that reflect a litany of modern-day “gender identities.”

    The official school-sanctioned document openly declares that individuals “choose their own gender identities,” meaning they’re no longer assigned based on biological sex. Consequently, it’s now the responsibility of every normal person in the world to probe which ones are “appropriate” to use when addressing others who choose to be gender “neutral,” or who “reject the gender binary.”

    According to PJ Media, which spoke with the school about the situation, students at CUNY – Guttman are being encouraged to ask every person they meet which pronouns they prefer. Included as gender pronoun options are strange, non-words like “zim,” “ver,” and “emself,” as well as “ter,” “tem,” and “eirs.”

    Normal people who accept normal gender pronouns like he and she, the manifesto says, have a “privilege” that people who reject normal gender pronouns do not. Normal people don’t “have to worry about which pronouns someone is going to use,” as determining which one to use is a simple as looking at the person to see if they’re male or female.

    ”If you have this privilege yet fail to respect someone else’s gender identity, it is not only disrespectful and hurtful but also oppressive,” the manifesto adds.

    Students and faculty at CUNY’s Manhattan campus have been forced to endure gender pronoun madness for over a year now

    While this gender pronoun insanity has been around for several years now, what’s taking place at CUNY – Guttman represents the first time that a school is actively forcing it upon students and faculty members.

    While other schools like Bryn Mawr College and Kennesaw State University have similar gender pronoun guides available on their websites, none of them, as far as we know, are actively circulating and integrating them into their campus cultures.

    But things are different at CUNY – Guttman, where faculty members like Bruce Lyons, a school spokesman, believes that forcing people to use made-up gender pronouns is an appropriate way for everyone to show respect to the LGBTQ+ community.

    “Pronoun usage is a basic way to respect one’s identity,” he reportedly told PJ Media, adding that students “can opt into one of the trainings that are held throughout the year that do discuss the importance of correct pronoun usage, and other important information, to support oneself becoming a better ally and support to members of the LGBTQ community.”

    But there isn’t even a set standard for which gender pronouns are “acceptable,” and which one’s aren’t, because they seem to change with the wind, as new ones seem to pop up on the regular. At Bryn Mawr, for instance, the gender pronouns guide contains words like “co” and “kit” that aren’t included in CUNY – Guttman’s guide.

    This suggests that not only are normal people now expected to learn a litany of made-up gender pronouns in order to pacify the feelings of the mentally ill, but they’re also expected to learn completely different varieties of gender pronouns depending on the campus or environment where they’re interacting with others.

    It’s enough to make even normal people go completely mad trying to figure it all out, and yet this is precisely what seems to constitute “higher education” in America today.

    The City University of New York (CUNY)-Guttman recently published a new guide for students that adds “zim,” “ver,” and “emself” to the list of acceptable “gender-inclusive” pronouns that can be used.

    The “Gender Identity and Pronouns” guide tells students that the “dichotomy of ‘he and she’ in English does not leave room for other gender identities,” and to fix this, the guide offers a list of alternatives students may use instead.

    The guide claims that possible alternatives include “zie/zim/zieself,” “vie/ver/verself,” as well as the irregular set of pronouns, “zie, hir, hirself.” To refer to a student using these pronouns, you might say: Zim drank a coffee, or perhaps, Alice bought verself a bookbag.

    Students are encouraged to ask their fellow peers which pronouns they prefer, and the guide warns that “it is a privilege to not have to worry about which pronouns someone is going to use for you on the basis of how they perceive your gender.”

    The English language was always garbage, Pronouns will make it neither worse nor better.
