Colleges that do NOT push individual pronouns

[Anonymous]

This should be item 635 on the list of things that factor into a college decision. Right behind whether the laundry machines are free and right ahead of if you look good in the school colors. Talk about a waste of time.

It's not stupid. I don't want my child indoctrinated into thinking that picking your own pronouns is normal. Again, if a person is truly intersex, I understand that this person will have special circumstances.

Exactly.

I don't mind using a novel pronoun for someone who is truly intersex, but I acknowledge most of the world as binary.

Thank you.

It's actually the little things, and how the administration responds to them, that can tell you the most about the culture of the university. If the administration kowtows to every little special interest, or worse, goes out of their way to CREATE these diversions, they start to loose their focus on the primary objective of educating students.

VT is in the business of educating students so they will be able to get a job. From my experience as an employer and a parent (GO HOKIES) VT does this extremely well. To anyone who is worried their young adult is going to be indoctrinated by "Liberal views" put your adult in private college that fits your bigoted thought process! Again GO HOKIES!!!! VT is a public University with over 25,000 students there are plenty of conservative students there and they seem to be doing just fine.

The thing that is "ridiculous" is all the focus on pronouns and gender. Why can't the process be more organic and people figure it out as they go. I don't have any issues with trans gender, however, to bring it to the forefront during an orientation just distracts people from the purpose of an orientation. It is an orientation to the school...not to each other. If we are going to use pronouns, why don't we also specify ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, etc. etc.

My opinion: It's actually the little things, and how a person responds to them, that can tell you the most about a person. If a person knee-jerks to every little cultural aspect of a campus they disagree with, or worse, goes out of their way to CREATE these diversions, they start to loose their focus on the primary objective of educating students.

If I can be a man with a vigina but not Hispanic because I live tacos, the Spanish language and Ricky Martin, then I don't want to send my kids into pronoun obsessed schools.

I work for a Fortune 100 company we include our preferred pronouns on our employee profile and email signature - so it’s not a liberal college thing. Time to get with the times OP.

I think your kids would face some unique challenges when matriculating, bless their hearts.

Science is convenient except when it's not. Sad and pathetic.
