It's not 'he' and 'she'. It's 'ze': Oxford University union tells students to use gender neutral pronouns so as 'not to offend transgender undergraduates'

Many languages (at least the Western European ones) already have a word for something that isn't male or female: it

Why can't they use that?

Don't they realize that such policies embed in people's thoughts, and thoughts drive behaviors, and behaviors drive evolution?  Androgeny is a real thing!

I say we fight back and say that "ze" offends us because it negates our "he- and -she-ness."

This business of not offending people by skewing everything to them has no logical end but madness.

I am proud to be black = fine.
I am proud to be Asian = fine.
I am proud to be white = RACIST!
I am proud to be female = offensive to transgendered!
