The new official symbol for either gender neutrality or women on windy days.
(OXFORD) Oxford University is encouraging students to use the gender-neutral pronoun “ze” instead of “she” and “he”.
The students’ union wrote in a leaflet that the move was intended to reduce the risk of transgender students being offended.
Peter Tatchell, an LGBT rights campaigner, said: “It is a positive thing to not always emphasize gender divisions and barriers. This issue isn’t about being politically correct or censoring anyone. It’s about acknowledging the fact of changing gender identities and respecting people’s right to not define themselves as male or female. It is good to have gender-neutral pronouns for those who want them but it shouldn’t be compulsory. Giving people the ‘ze’ option is a thoughtful, considerate move.”
Jordan Peterson, a professor in Canada, uploaded a video on YouTube discussing his refusal to use gender neural pronouns.
He said he was heckled and his office door was glued shut.

Trannyslation: “Ze said ze was heckled and ze office door was glued shut.”
I thought that was just the French version.
How much of a risk can that really be in the first place?
To ze or not to ze, that is the question.
