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.

Bob Jones University
Liberty
Brigham Young -Provo, Hawaii and Idaho
Southern Virginia University
Notre Dame
Thomas More
Benedictine College
Fairfield University
Regent University

Are a few


Scratch Norte Dame if you mean the big football school in Indiana. They respect gender pronouns there.

Take Notre Dame off that list. I have colleagues in their LGBTQ+ office and they are an inclusive institution.

She wouldn’t be. My kid is applying to Oberlin, which is far to the left on gender identity. They ask kids who they are comfortable rooming with and honor that. Not the parents. The kids. They also do a secret ballot vote as dorm halls on the designation of the bathrooms, with one in the dorm being non-binary. The have single sex halls for kids who want them. They also let kids who want to live with a boyfriend/girlfriend do that.

So Oberlin probably out OP. Given that they respect all kids wishes, and not just yours.

Are all of these kids paying for Oberlin? And yes, it was already off the list.

No one is walking up to people saying “are you a woman?” They are saying which pronouns do you use (which is NOT a biology question oh clueless one). If you self identify as a woman, just remember the grammar you learned in elementary school, and answer “she, her.” No one is asking you to change that. Don’t ask those people to change what they want to be called!


Do I need to call Rachel Donezal black?

Just see which colleges teach creationism and you’ll have your list. Is Kentucky Christian still around?

Pronouns have to do with people's preferences and how they self-identify. Not with having been born with indeterminate genitals.

You probably are a huge Red Skins fan, because obviously you are not about respecting how people prefer to be addressed.

Would you call me Ms, if I preferred that: or do you do you believe that I need to announce my marital status lane because old people are more comfortable with that???

Why do THEY have to be called pronouns that YOU prefer?


Intersex is a biological term. What's wrong with using it? I don't have to use any pronouns. "Chris is an interesting person. I would like to see more of Chris's artwork. Chris should be very proud of the work that Chris has done."

I'm not a fan of the Redskins name and I care very much about racial equality. I will call someone Ms. I prefer Mrs. for myself. If you call me Ms., that's fine, too. Just don't call me Mx.


So you ask Chris to drop trou so you can make sure they are biologically intersex before you agree to the concession of using their name?

Okay then.

You. Are. Nuts. The rest of us are looking at SATs and GPaS and APs and college essays and ROI and NOVA college quotas and trying to figure out how to pay for college. It must be nice to have your “problems”.


It's statistically improbably that there are so many intersex individuals at my child's school

OP. I believe in science. That's why I believe most human beings are either male or female.

MOST being key. Brush up on some new science. I refuse to post the links again but there is legitimate science that shows sex is not as binary as we believed.That's what better tools and technology allow us to discover.

Knowledge is not stagnant. It keeps accumulating. At the turn of the 20th century, people seriously proposed we get rid of the patent office because we thought we had learned everything there was to learn. Clearly wrong.

Do you really think in only a 100 years more we have learned all there is to learn and HOW to learn it?

And yet, most universities seek to accommodate ALL. Not just most; all.

I feel bad for OP’s kid. “Gee honey, I see you got into your dream school which has your major and everything you are looking for. But, they encourage personal pronouns. Have fun at Liberty. “

Such a good point that colleges are preparing students for the future, not their parents' past or comfort zone.

This OP sounds like a home schooler, (or at least that mentality) and their child is probably COUNTING the seconds until they can escape HIS or HER universe.

LOL OP’s kid will promptly be asked for pronouns by employer upon graduation.

Serious question: What do you think will happen to your kid at school if they let them add a pronoun to a name tag?

Are you afraid that you’ve raised your kid to be afraid of things that are different and they’ll become less afraid when they encounter the many shades of grey in the world?

This is the mentality of Liberty parents. Keep them sheltered so you have a higher chance of them staying in YOUR narrow path.

If your oath was so damn great, your kid wouldn’t be tempted to leave it, though.

+1. Notre Dame wouldn’t work for the OP.
Neither would Fairfield.
