    FALLING FLAT ON PRONOUNS

    First, please know that there is nothing new about using the plural pronoun “they” for singular usage. Emily Dickinson was doing it over 100 years ago. Second, identifying one’s personal pronouns is not some trendy idea. I participated in seminars on this topic whilst working at Vanderbilt University, where I learned this is a way to show respect toward others.

    Channeling my inner Ask Abby, it is perfectly acceptable when meeting someone to not only say what your preferred pronouns are, but to ask the individual what theirs are as well.

  2. I think it simply is a way for people to get some attention and feel special, while elevating their social status – all of which they have lacked growing up. And they pull out the respect and phobia card to make it happen.
