Students were told to select gender pronouns. One chose ‘His Majesty’ to protest ‘absurdity.’
The University of Michigan has implemented a “designated pronoun” policy to allow students to choose the way they want their professors to refer to them in class.
As a protest measure, one student created a new identity: “His Majesty.”
Grant Strobl, a junior at U-M and a conservative activist, inserted himself into an emotionally charged national debate over gender identity last week when he used the school’s new policy to declare himself royalty.
“When I realized that the university decided to live a fantasy of allowing students to insert words that aren’t even actual pronouns into the university online database that updates the rosters, I decided, well, I might as well be the king of that fantasy, and I henceforth shall be referred to as His Majesty,” he told Fox News last week.“
I don't know about other members of HC but I'm onboard and 100% behind those students and members of society who wish to use pronouns for the sake of inclusiveness. Some of those pronouns are Zir, Per, E, Ey, and Hir. There are about 73 pronouns that people can use depending on what type of sex they are. More power to them. But in the name of new age thinking are others free to use the pronoun or name of their choice to address someone. Can I say "Hey, shit head" what's happening? Or "Hey 'Pus eyes' get those feet off my chair. No disrespect is meant it's just that a large group in society want to invent their own new age pronouns some of which are stripped of offence and are merely a way of addressing a person.
