Quote:
A student has taken advantage of the opportunity afforded by University of Michigan's new pronoun policy, which allows students to list their chosen pronouns on the official bios that are sent out to their teachers.

The student, Grant Stroble, has listed his pronoun as "His Majesty."

He is stunning and brave. Applaud his courage. Weep openly, if you must.

Are you finished? Still reading? It's quite a moving story, I know.

Stroble's heroism will no doubt be celebrated by the university, which recently gave students the option of selecting their own pronouns in order to foster "an environment of inclusiveness." According to the university:

Students can designate pronouns in Wolverine Access through the new Gender Identity tab within the Campus Personal Information section. This page can be used to enter, update or delete pronoun information.

Designated pronouns will automatically populate on all class rosters accessed through Wolverine Access. Rosters pulled from other systems will not have designated pronouns listed. If a student does not designate a pronoun, none will be listed.

In other words, when professors receive the list of students enrolled in their classes, there will be a designated pronoun next to their names. Strobles's is "His Majesty."

Fucked up times we live in when an institution of higher learning is endorsing this type of shit. Laugh or cry, but it's only a matter of time before that shit spreads to our euro brethren across the pond. Or is there still a semblance of sanity left somewhere in this age?

I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

So edgy.
Realistically, his teacher will refer to him as "his" since majesty is a noun, not a pronoun.
But still. So edgy.

Subverting these idiotic "rights" and exposing their ridiculousness is the best course of action.
