We're told the student has to request such pronouns be used for him or her but, as we all know, that won't last. Soon the liberals will expel anyone caught using words like "he" or
"she".
"she".
Vancouver School Board?s genderless pronouns ? xe, xem, xyr ? not likely to stick, if history is any indication | National Post
June 17, 2014
The Vancouver School Board has decided that students may ask teachers and staff to address them by the pronoun of their choice, to accommodate transgender students for whom he and she do not fit.
Offered as possible replacements by the board: The newly coined pronouns xe, xem, xyr, which are pronounced to rhyme with the genderless plurals, they, them, and their, only starting with the z sound.
The policy, passed amid some controversy late Monday, is the latest in a 150-year-old linguistic tradition, born of frustration at a grammatical quirk of the English language that pronouns must agree in gender with the noun they represent, even if that gender is not known.
