Since they want me to forego the usage of gender pronouns, I will have to use other terms to refer to people to avoid confusion. Things like fatso, butt ugly, crazy, dummy and any other physical or mental characteristic should be appropriate. Bob
Some years ago, I declared myself a springbok trapped in a human body. A springbok is a highly agile, cute, deer-like animal that resides in southern and southwestern African. Some people suggested that I suffered from a condition known as species dysphoria, in which one thinks he is a wild animal trapped in a human body. Species dysphoria is similar to gender dysphoria, a condition in which a person believes he is a woman trapped in a male body or a man trapped in a female body.
Psychological counseling was recommended, which, in my opinion, is nothing less than animal phobia. One might ask, "Bundy, why in the world would you want to call yourself a springbok?" The reason is quite simple. There is nothing in the Internal Revenue Code that says springboks have a federal tax obligation. If IRS officials were to demand that a springbok pay taxes, they could be referred to the U.S. Department of Justice for prosecution and reported to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Unlike the new president who is renowned for plagiarizing other peoples words as his own I admit to borrowing this from the late Walter Williams whom I will miss greatly for his commentary.
I heard some crap on NPR the other day where the subject of the interview had that "not quite right voice". Where you are wondering if this is a guy or a gal.......turns out that it was a "it"...........a "fem" to I guess a "hopefull" male. "It" sounded like a lower register male talking after it had inhaled a helium balloon. Spouting the usual liberal acceptance......blah.....blah......blah
What has happened to MY country?
The preferred pronoun BTW was they instead of he/she. I am not going to refer to a singular person as they..........if "they" don't know what "they" are..........I will say IT
Look they can pick whatever pronoun they want. Likely I'm just going to refer to them as moron anyway, so it matters not to me.
Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Yea cause why waste time on English, or math, or history??
Can I just address everyone as “hey dude”🙃
That'll work, my daughter and all her female friends address each other as "Dude".

Makes perfect sense to me---I mean, if you can proclaim gender, why not species?
Seriously, first it is to gain access to the girls locker room, and this to avoid being taxed. It could work.
But on a serious note, is a springbok able to own property? I suppose one could set up a trust or other tax entity.
A Springbok can be hunted.
