The Oregon Department of Human Services has attracted criticism for stating the preferred pronouns, rather than sex, of three missing children.
The brothers Brantley Hinson, 7, Logan Hinson, 4, and River Hinson, two, went missing on June 17 and authorities said they had reason to believe they were at risk, KTVL reported.
The ODHS' Child Welfare Division appealed for public help to find the missing children who they speculated could be in Oregon, Idaho, or Alaska, and provided descriptions of the children.
In the identifying descriptions the division included 'he/him' pronouns alongside other descriptions such as age and hair color, a move that was dubbed 'unbelievable'.
The children were found alongside their their mother Stephanie Lloyd on June 28 and the Child Welfare Division offered their thanks to the community that supported the search.
Preferred pronouns are used to signal a person is friendly towards transgender or non-binary people, whose gender may not align with their appearance - or be obvious in the first place.
One social media user said the use of the children's gender identity was 'unbelievable' and normalized gender self-identification.
'These 3 little boys are missing, and instead of listing their gender as part of their description, their preferred pronouns are listed instead. Unbelievable' the user, who goes by the handle @Kriscilicious, wrote on Twitter.
Adding: 'Like people are supposed to be looking for preferred pronouns. No, they’re going to be looking for little boys. It’s just another way for them to try and normalize this, but at the expense of helping find these kids.'
Other users agreed, with one writing under the post 'Pronouns have never helped a detective solve a case. Ridiculous.'

In normal times. I’d just consider that a typo. Now...?
Not. The. Bee.
Brothers? This is an example the type of hyperpatriarchal mascu-normativity that suppresses the rights of the entire LGBTQWXYZEIEIO+-*/£¢€¥ community and all people of gender....
Wow, leftist patter is easy if you make up a few words and yell them with outrage. I didn't fall apart until I started typing like a cat on a keyboard.
It would have been useful if the author had reprinted the actual notice. Often, instead of pronoun confusion the worst point is organization producing the notice will avoid mention of race or skin color. If I am supposed to be looking for a person then tell me something inherent and invariable about the person rather than the color of his hat.
I was making that complaint to a liberal acquaintance and she was winding up to use the "racist" accusation against me, but I jumped in ahead of her and said "... unless you think there is something wrong or shameful about being black that needs to be hidden.". She looked like a sci-fi robot trying to handle contradictory information until she just stomped off.
Preferred Pronouns are straight from hell.May God save these children .Amen
Meanwhile, everyone is en fuego about the pronouns thing instead of wondering how much child protective services knew and when they knew it.
Sheesh.
I'm surprised they didn't report that the children were found alongside their birthing person.
You left out the furries and the $, which is the real driving factor in all of this.
If you want my help finding them, you will tell me what sex the children are.
The Oregon Social Workers put their own self centered narcissism above children’s lives. Just like child attracted drag queens, it’s really not about the wants or needs of the kids.
But Kriscilicious has subserviently used the term "gender" instead of the correct term "sex".
We need to stop this BULL💩!
How did so many Americans lose their power of reason in so short a time? Why did so many jump on the bandwagon of insanity without even thinking about whether it was stupid or not?
Is critical thinking all but gone?
No one is trans. No one has the right to special pronouns any more than they have a right to special verbs or adjectives.
I’m betting bimbo social workers were behind this stupidity... This is way too stupid for pretentious men - well, unless they’re part of the sexual weirdo community...
