No amount of compassion for a young person struggling with gender identity issues can justify the radical transformation of the English language, yet that is exactly what is being called for by transgender activists.
For anyone following the progression of LGBT activism, this is nothing new. But when this radical agenda comes to a school district where you live, it's important that we speak out again, loudly and clearly.
I'm talking specifically about the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina, which in June announced the implementation of new regulations "Supporting Transgender Students." Included in these regulations are rules for the proper use of pronouns so that, "Nonofficial records must refer to transgender student by preferred names and pronouns."
In an official instructional video, "The Importance of Pronouns," one student, who is identified as a "non-binary transgender youth" (meaning, a young person who chooses not to identify as specifically male or female) explains why he/she prefers to use the pronouns they, them, and theirs when referring to himself/herself.
Other students and faculty are expected to follow suit, and on this same video, a high school teacher says that it's important that a transgender student be able to communicate these things at the beginning of the school year so everyone can comply.
And what happens if you fail to comply? Earlier this year, a "'transmasculine' teacher at an Oregon elementary school [was] awarded $60,000 by her school district as compensation for harassment she claims to have suffered on the job, including being referred to by the wrong pronoun."
Specifically, the teacher, who was born female but chooses not to identify as either male or female, "says employees persisted in calling her hurtful terms like 'Miss Soell,' 'lady,' and 'she.'" The school eventually agreed that that she would be called "they," but when other faculty members wouldn't comply, she took them to court, winning a substantial payment in the process.
What about the confusion her gender ambiguity causes for the elementary school children she teaches? That is obviously not a concern at all.
As for this emphasis on trans-correct pronouns, it appears that the sky is the limit - and remember, students and faculty are expected to comply with the trans-identified student's request.
One individual on the Ask a Non-Binary website writes this: "These are all the gender neutral pronouns I've managed to hunt down but I am ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN there are several missing."
They/them/their/themself
tey/tem/ter/temself
ey/em/eir/emself
e/em/eir/emself
thon/thon/thons/thonself
fae/faer/faers/faerself
vae/vaer/vaers/vaerself
ae/aer/aers/aerself
ne/nym/nis/nymself
ne/nem/nir/nemself
xe/xem/xyr/xemself
xe/xim/xis/ximself
xie/xem/xyr/xemself
ze(or zie)/zir/zirs/zirself
zhe/zhir/zhirs/zhirself
ze/hir/hirs/hirself
sie/sier/siers/sierself
zed/zed/zeds/zedself
zed/zed/zeir/zedself
ce/cir/cirs/cirself
co/cos/cos/coself
ve/vis/vir/verself
jee/jem/jeir/jemself
lee/lim/lis/limself
kye/kyr/kyne/kyrself
per/per/pers/perself
hu/hum/hus/humself
bun/bun/buns/bunself
it/it/its/itself
This is followed by "I've also seen 'yo' and 'fey' pronouns but I have no idea how to conjugate them. And I'm off to still hunt for more! If you know of any GN pronouns feel free to reblog and add unto the list and i'll edit the original as well," adding, "OH MY GOSH!! SO IMPORTANT!!"
Is your head spinning yet?
To be totally honest, I feel more sorrow than mockery when I read this list - especially when I see how important this is to those who identify as transgender - and when I see these kids talking on the instructional school videos, my heart really goes out to them. They appear to be the age of some of my own grandchildren, and I don't doubt that they have more than their share of struggles at school.
But to repeat, no amount of compassion for a young person struggling with gender identity issues can justify the radical transformation of the English language, nor can it justify this scenario where perception becomes reality and words are created to justify these new, totally individual perceptions.
