‘Genderqueer’ rising: Colleges welcome kids who identify as neither male nor female

OAKLAND, Calif. — The weekly meetings of Mouthing Off!, a group for students at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, always start the same way. Members take turns going around the room saying their names and the personal pronouns they want others to use when referring to them — she, he or something else.

It’s an exercise that might seem superfluous given that Mills, a small and leafy liberal arts school historically referred to as the Vassar of the West, only admits women as undergraduates. Yet increasingly, the “shes” and “hers” that dominate the introductions are keeping third-person company with “they,” ”ze” and other neutral alternatives meant to convey a more generous notion of gender.

If you haven’t learned if you are a boy or girl, are you really college material?

You probably put your time in before the Reign of Terror under Bloombutt. I can mark an exact sharp line between when I so totally enjoyed teaching and when it became a daily horror, when disgruntled students who had not done their work could write false statements against you which would be believed over anything you said. They will tell you to your face, “I gonna git you fired, b__ch!” if they fail an exam they did not study for or get a failing grade for cutting, not submitting any work, disrupting class instead of taking notes, etc. Who knows what it will be like under SuperLibbie DiBlasio? I’m sure it won’t be pleasant either, not at all. This is a case study “When Non-Educator Politicians Get Involved in Education.” The students are not accountable for anything, the entire burden is placed on the teacher.

For the most part, yeah. Considering 9/11 happened right at the beginning of the school year, I put another 3 years in when Doomberg was mayor. High school was a bad time for me.
