Students Invited to Pick their Pronoun
According to an Associated Press Article, students registering at Harvard this fall were entitled to choose from various pronouns to describe themselves on their forms. The offerings included: he, she, and the “gender-neutral” options of they and ze.
According to the article, Harvard is “among a wave of major institutions that are widening their policies and pronouns to acknowledge transgender students, as well as ‘genderqueer’ students, who don’t identify as male or female.”
The trend, now adopted by a premiere educational institution, adds to the already widespread societal confusion around the terms sex and gender. Many today use the words synonymously, little realizing the word “gender” has been (mis)appropriated to advance astonishingly anti-scientific “gender theory” and to drive forward particular social theories aimed at eliminating sex distinction itself.
