[NA]Berkeley bans "gendered" words[NA]

...
*Part of this also stems from a deficiency in the english language.. some languages have gender neutral ways of addressing nouns, etc., in Hungarian you can directly address someone without specifying their gender "ő jön ide" can be "he" or "she" .. the word " ő " can address either gender. You can't do that in english. Which sets you up for failure..

In spoken Mandarin, he, she, and it are the same. In written form they are different.

Those too, but in our current climate of, "penis bad, vagina good" those are still acceptable names.

I can’t speak for you, but personally I’m on board with the penis bad, vagina good thing.

We could call gender non-conformers “it”, and the problem will be solved.

I think they are going want more syllables, a new word must be formed. Shall we modify something from the Latin language?

Genitalius non grata?

As a general note:

I find it absolutely hilarious when the oppressors suddenly find themselves being oppressed even in very slight fashion such as this. The reaction is always the same and predictable. They use it as an excuse to hate more rather than to gain an understanding of what it feels like to be the oppressed and develop empathy for same.

That’s Marxist language. I think it’s funny that you see things in terms of those two categories.

Lol I’m wrong. I admit it.

You’re not... You just need to make the cover pyramid shaped. That’ll teach them 3-dimensionalists!
