Dem. Senator Bans ‘He/She’ Pronouns During Legislative Hearings

[ATTACH=CONFIG]34566[/ATTACH]

California State Senate Judiciary Committee chairwoman Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) announced Thursday that only “gender neutral” pronouns will be permitted during committee hearings. No more will Sen. Jackson allow “he” or “she” to be used when referring to a male or female; “they” will be the only allowed pronoun.

Acknowledging this incorrect grammar, Jackson said since California passed a law recognizing the non-binary designation as a gender, “he and she, we are now merging them so we are using what my grammar teacher would have had a heart attack over: we are using the phrase ‘they’ and replacing other designations so it’s a gender neutral designation.”

“In the spirit of gender neutrality for the rules of this committee, we now designate the chair as ‘they,’” Jackson said, referring to herself as “they.” Or should we say “oneself,” referring to a gender neutral subject with a reflexive pronoun? And isn’t Sen. Jackson a “chairwoman” and not a “chair?”

As silly as this sounds, Sen. Jackson has the authority to make this change. Pursuant to the California Constitution, the Legislature has authority to do what they want for their committee rules.

SHE is a NUTCASE!!!

It's kinda funny that while she was explaining this new policy, she referred to her grammar teacher who would be "rolling over in her grave", and at one point said, "But I don't believe I'll be seeing her again".

The audience laughed, and corrected her "not her", and she laughed back, "them.... THEY!".

Even she knows it's a joke!

girls will be boys.

And some are still deciding.

I read an article - can't refind it - where it discusses the changes in language. It talks about how easy it is to change nouns and verbs, and even adjectives and adverbs --- but it's almost impossible to change personal pronouns because they are ingrained in us.

Old liberals will have been the first ones with their backs to the wall when the revolution came.
