His appeal was denied. In fact, the provost directed Bugg to edit his syllabus for the 2022 school year to avoid any pronoun problems. And so, Bugg has filed a lawsuit in federal court. In his suit, he asks that the school state that he did not violate the policy and that refusal to use pronouns is not a Title IX violation.
Use this pronoun: FU.
“Pronoun mistake” = You failed to comply with Orwellian Newspeak.....
My pronoun is ‘Fvck Biden’.
Everyone is compelled to use my pronoun. There will be no freedom in America until you address me appropriately.
Maybe some freepers may disagree with this but maybe all U.S. professors who ever make even one "Pronoun Mistake" should all be given life sentences in prison.

Never participate in the crazy of these gender loons,
This is dumb. When we talk to other people, we use the second person: “you”.
All this fighting over preferred pronouns is really about controlling other people and their speech.
If the student can identify as the opposite sex, then the professor should be able to identify as a realist.
Men
Women

Just refer to all students by their first names. “ Jimmy didn’t hand in Jimmy’s assignment again. If Jimmy isn’t careful I will give an F to Jimmy. “
There is bound to be trouble from this pronoun thing, mistakes made from just trying to keep track of them all. Some years ago I taught some ESL classes at a factory where most of the employees were Hipanic. On the first day of class, two women came into my room to see if they were in my class. I asked their names: Maria and Abel. Well, Abel was a man, but he sure looked like a woman: women’s clothing, jewelry, makeup, hairstyle, mannerisms. And guess what? Asking for pronouns wasn’t a thing back then, but I and everyone else referred to Abel as he and him, and that was fine with him.
It was never about equality, or equity, or justice, or inclusiveness. It was always about identifying and eliminating all those individuals who don’t believe what the Party demands they believe.
The USA doesn’t have gulags yet. Instead they get you fired and then they destroy you personally. Same end result as the gulags.
And don’t think it’s the colleges that are doing it. It’s actually the government that’s doing it. How can I say that? because the government refuses to prosecute the colleges for their actions that violate the Constitution. So the government is doing it by proxy. Same as if the government were doing it.

The first they/them?
I know a 3rd semester student who dropped a sociology class from the first day of that class. The teacher demanded that the students utilize proper english in all written papers but the contradicted that by demanding the use of they/them pronouns. There were a host of other unreasonable demands as well but I don’t recall them all. Essentially, they made the teacher unavailable to everything except for lectures.
This student hasn’t any bias toward anybody, but recognized the futility of that class and didn’t want the indoctrination.
Thumbs up to that student!
A KS school teacher just won settlement against her district for this.
Prescriptivists would know that the pronoun "they" indicates multiple people. Descriptivists would accept the pronouns that Professor Bugg used as the ordinary usage of millions of Americans. It is bizarre that anyone at all accepts this recent fad of inventing new grammatical rules to indulge a mental illness.
Let’s avoid hurt feeeeewings by referring to each other as apparently sentient blobs of protoplasm. But those who identify as trans terrestrial would be offended. The hustle never ends.
