To avoid offending transgenders, college changes 'he, she' to 'ZE'

A glowing example of Academia and the Ivory Towers at its finest.

Quote:
In the boldest endorsement of a growing national trend, the University of Tennessee is urging incoming students and teachers to junk references to "he," "she," and "them," in favor of gender-neutral "ze" and "xe."

Why did they not just go with "It" for all personal pronouns, safe, known and that way you wipe out a bunch of 'useless, harmful, demeaning' words instead of adding any more Newspeak to the vocabulary?

Holy s#!t have they completely lost touch with reality. So what, we have to base it off what some mentally ill person tells us they are? I have a great idea, let's assume it with what their chromosomes and biology tells us. Oh wait, that would mean we'd have to apply actual fact and science, no time for that when we need to be focusing on overweight lesbian dance theories.

Don't believe what you see or what you hear...the administration or the government or the PC police or the politburo will let you know what is appropriate.

No he's or she's...

No illegals...only ZE undocumented democrats...see how easy that is.

When I read the article it brought to mind George Orwell's 1984....How many fingers am I holding up Winston?

Quote:
“It is important to understand that the political pressure to push the agenda for same sex 'marriage' has never been about gay rights; the true intention behind this agenda has always been about the destruction of the family, and the imposition of a totalitarian system,” Archbishop Apuron said. (Bold in the original.)

the key to understanding the logic behind modern liberalism isn't found by giving the right answer to the question "how many fingers am I holding up"
...the fact is, there are no fingers.

Every bit of social engineering done by the liberal elitist is sleight of hand. The cult of liberalism is nothing more than a magic show. "Nothing to see here - move along"

The thing I find so fascinating is that the people with the most expensive educations are usually the easiest to "fool"...
...its the people that spend their lives in the ivory towers that refuse to admit that what we are watching is little more than a magic show.

How many fingers am I holding up?
...none, it is all just an illusion.
