(Oh, wait! I know what we can do! We can have Christians wear yellow crosses and Jews wear yellow Stars of David. That way, we would know they are white racists or international bankers!)
“The University of Tennessee has told its staff and students to stop calling each other 'he', 'she', 'him' and 'her' - and to start referring to one another with terms like 'xe', 'zir' and 'xyr' instead.
“The Knoxville branch of the public university sent a memo round to its members filled with unusual new parts of speech to avoid referring to anybody's gender.
“According to a gay rights official at the university, the new language regime will make the university 'welcoming and inclusive' and stop people feeling 'marginalized'.
As we roll merrily along into the future...
“I must note that UT has amended the rule - after objections from staff, they say these are now recommendations which are voluntary, not mandatory rules. Thank you to commenter Witgren for pointing this out.”
