Scripps College Professors Will Now Have To Address Their Students Using Up To TEN Different Pronouns

There is now such a thing as a "pronoun portal," you guys. 

Scripps College has been the subject of my ire before, if you recall,  because they're a California women's college  which is bending over backwards in order to accommodate every possible variation of LGBTQIAMNOPXYZ people and all of their various demands to the point of total absurdity.

And now, they're going full-on cray.

Because now, students at Scripps will be given the choice of TEN different gender pronouns in their "class portal" so that their professors can address them based on whatever their preferred pronoun is.  I am not certain if accommodations are being made for gender fluid people, but I kinda hope they are, because the thought of professors at that college trying to keep up with which pronouns to use for their students who claim their genders change by the MOMENT is kind of hilarious to me.  This is the level of absurdity we're having to deal with these days.

Scripps explained in an email to professors and students that the purpose of this gender pronoun portal was to "build an inclusive environment."

If you're curious about the pronoun choices, they include the following:

 e/ey, em, eir/eirs, eirself/emse; he, him, his, himself; hu, hum, hus, humself; “just my name please;” none; per, per, per/pers, perself; she, her, hers, herself; they, them, their/theirs, themse; ze, hir, hir/hirs, hirself; and ze, zir, zir/zirs, zirself.

If you recognize only about half of those, then congratulations.  You are a normal human being.

A sophomore at Scripps, Rachel Neuberg, said that she hopes other colleges follow suit so that "we can all work together to stop institutionalized violence."

Because apparently, using normal pronouns that we all grew up with and that weren't made up like 4 days ago is violent now.  Or causes violence.  Or something.

Sigh.

Look.  If you're a person who is transitioning from one gender to another, and I meet you and you ask me to refer to you as the gender you're transitioning to, I'm happy to do that.   But if you start throwing made up gender pronouns at me like the ones included in the list above, I'm simply not going to play that reindeer game.  There are limits to what should be expected in the course of getting through daily life interactions with people.  And these  made up pronouns go waaaaay past that limit.

Your mileage may vary.  And I'm sure you'll tell me all about it.
