UC-Davis lists ‘yo’ and ‘xie’ as gender-neutral pronouns
Campus Reform ^ | March 28, 2018 | Toni Airaksinen

The University of California-Davis LGBTQIA Resource Center has a new pronoun guide that adds “yo,” “xie,” “ey,” “en,” and “ve” to the list of gender-neutral pronouns.

The “What are Pronouns?” guide invites students to choose personal pronouns other than he or she, positing that all students should be given “the opportunity to state the pronoun that is correct to use when referring to them” during class.

So, now at UC Davis, you must axe everyone you meet which pronoun they prefer? How else will you know?

The left just loves jamming this LGBQWERTY crap through the media and our culture. Good thing heaven will be a place devoid of this sinful garbage.

I agree. To think that there are people who put serious effort into this utterly stupid PC garbage....it truly boggles the mind. It reminds me of when we were little & made up nonsense words and names.

Yo is Spanish for “I”. Who said you could take it? Cultural appropriation! Cultural appropriation! With a helping of racism thrown in.

I prefer the gender neutral ending -f**k you, a******.


But, however, to be grammatically correct, wouldn’t you need the ending “F*** you, a**hole snowflake”?

You guys, I think I am partially to blame for this. I apologize. I am one of those parents who will make a different dinner for the child that doesn’t like what we are having. I didn’t know this was where this would lead. I’m really sorry. It’s because I was the picky kid who would starve all night rather than eat what I hated. I swear I didn’t know what would come of catering to the kids.

How does one even pronounce “xie”?


I don’t know, but if you get it wrong, you’re going to prison for a long time.

Back in the day.

Young college women showed me her paper, she was sooo proud of her work.

I asked her whats up with all of the “he/she” on the first page.

She gave me a big bright smile, she was so proud, that she is aware/respectful/tolerant/whatever.

She worked so hard to inject he/she into her paper that the paper lost it’s impact an made no I told her the paper was “unbelievable!”

Perhaps “it,” “that,” “shim,” “heshe”?

Can I choose my own gender preference pronoun?

Maybe boss, king, or superman?

We don’t need to invent new words to accommodate psychoses.

There are exactly two biological sexes. Grammatical genders are masculine, feminine, and neuter.

Gender expression may be an individual, personal matter, but that means it is also a private matter which is inappropriate to force people to discuss.

In other words, if a male person prefers to wear panties design for women, he can keep that to himself. He has no right to demand that I engage in a discussion about his undergarments, genitals, or sexual inclinations. Forcing people to discuss, let alone affirm, such things is sexual harassment.
