Good idea, but would have been even more amusing if he had designated his preferred pronoun as “Trump Voter.”

That way, the “preferred pronoun” might have “triggered” a “micro-aggression.”

Via Daily Caller.

A conservative student at the University of Michigan has fairly brilliantly subverted a new campus-wide policy intended to force professors — and the entire campus community — to use exotic pronouns to refer to students who insist they belong to some alternate, fictional gender.

The student, Grant Strobl, has declared that he shall henceforth be referred to as “His Majesty, Grant Strobl.”

Strobl was able to announce his new pronoun because the taxpayer-funded school launched a new web page allowing students to declare their preferred, “designated” pronouns….

“The University of Michigan is committed to fostering an environment of inclusiveness,” the email from the two campus bigwigs explains. “Consistent with that value, the University has created a process for students to designate pronouns with the University and have those pronouns reflected on class rosters this fall.”

“A designated pronoun is a pronoun an individual chooses to identify with and expects others to use when referencing them (i.e., he, she, him, his, ze, etc.).”

Strobl described the email allowing students to designate their identities as “absolutely ridiculous” in an interview with The Daily Caller.

“Once professors print their rosters, they have the preferred pronouns of every student and are expected to use them,” Strobl said. “It could mean that professors could be disciplined for using pronouns incorrectly.”….

  2. This is a great idea. I can think of a few others along this line; Your Royal Highness, Field Marshall, Sith Emperor, Padishah, Grand Vizir, Shogun are all good.

    Those Snowflakes should be forced to watch the “Schoolhouse Rock” Pronoun Video. https://youtu.be/koZFca8AkT0

    This is a great opportunity for Christian students. Here are some examples I might use….Amazing Grace, Redeemed by the Lamb, servant of God, Blessed Assurrance, Friend of God, Born Again, BTW, one of my friends has a Freshman daughter attending a university in California who experienced this crap. She was just traumatized by it all.

    The profs will likely say that that is not a pronoun. He should have declared either Her Majesty or Xe Majesty, then profs would be scared to offend.

    Personally, I think I would pick His Deplorable Eminence.
