$250k fine for not using gender neutral pronouns.
« on: May 20, 2016, 02:16:37 AM »
New York City just went full retard. You can now be fined $250k for failure to use whatever made-up pronouns that super sensitive snowflakes demand they be called by.  :zombiefuck:

When will this PC madness end??

Haven't read it, but wouldn't "individual" or (in my case) "loyal subject" suffice?

The best gender neutral pronoun that I've heard to date is She-He-It or s-h-it.  8)

Transgender pronouns are difficult to adapt to using, and not even sure how standardized or well known they are. Only have ever heard of ze for he/she, and hir for him/her, but don't know what is used for his/hers. Hir also sounds like the word, here, which is messy. It's a bad choice of sound. Using pronoun preferences is usually easy enough, but would probably just always refer to a person by their name if they preferred transgender pronouns.

It's not really insane. Leaving out the point of gender identity, if I started referring to one of the men at work with female pronouns, it would probably be considered harassment in the workplace. Not sure what to think about the landlord thing, though; that seems odd.

Never even heard of any of these before.

Whatever happened to just using the word "they"?
