What if I identify them as a pervert? Isn’t that a free speech issue?

If this is imposed, I demand people to address me as “My Lord”. They can abbreviate it to “M’ Lord”. No exceptions.

As a former college professor, how the heck would you know which of the 47 genders in vogue this week would be the correct form to address a student?


The student with the personality disorder would be in charge. Perverse fairness?

Is that for not using the "preferred nomenclature" before or after one becomes aware of it?

Any punishment for using one of them polite "Mr./Mrs Pervert" terms to a straight person who objects?

I left that nucking futs state in 2011, and will never set foot there again. Worship of Obama, hatred toward Texas, adults stuck in junior high school mentality.

I would have to say nothing because I’m clueless rrgarding these ridiculous terms. And I’m too old to want to know, and to care about learning. (I just found out what CISgender is.)

In a country that elected Trump how can this nonsense be occurring, and taking a foothold?

"Why don't we just call everyone on campuses “comrade”"

Why yes, that is their ultimate goal. Cause such a fuster you know what of cultural confusion, you end up with the Soviet Model as society collapses. We here on FR and over @ TCTH, see right through this game.

And to think they “teach” others, perhaps I should have said, “brainwash others”. Anyone wonder why many college people seem to arrive from different planets once they “graduate”?

Can the university legally restrict freedom of speech?

This sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I refer to people as he/she him/her they/them... I will never use one of the otherwise made-up pronouns for gender-whatever. I will refer to someone by the gender as *I* see them. I will not be told how to think.

I agree and I would want all my professors to address me as “your majesty, let’s make America Great Again.”.

There was a story about 2 years ago about a conservative college student who took advantage of this nonsense.

Wrote a letter to the school indicating that henceforth his desired pronoun is “Grand lord and master” or some such.

Had all the lib professors calling him that. haha

Until states allow nonsense sexes on id cards, the best thing to do is call the cops. The imaginary offense of misgendering is an accisation of “violence”. Call the LE and tell them youve been accused. Cops take IDs and IDs show sex.

This at least establishes sex for upcoming suit. False id might only be a misdemeanor in a given state but misidentification on a federal level is a felony and a lot of these students have federal loans.

There has to be an attorney out there willing to run with that and hopefully get it to the new SC.

Dont laugh, dumber questions have made it that far.
