Iconic Christian University Asks Students to Pick From Nine Gender Identities – Opinion

By Pluralist / January 18, 2022

Today, the concept of gender identity can be found everywhere. Consider, for instance, DePaul University.

As relayed by The College Fix, the school’s Campus Connect student portal allows enrollees to choose among not seven, not eight, but nine labels.

Choose your modern pick

There’s also a checkbox for “I do not wish to self-identify.”

It’s an interesting collection — what’s the difference between #8 and #9?

“Intersex” is not an identity, but rather a physical condition.

And “cisgender” means nothing if not specified as male or female, which are already their own options.

We’re living in revolutionary times; not long ago, there was no such thing as gender identity. In society, there were no distinctions between genders.

But recently, it’s been decided we all need an added layer of ID — one that has never existed anywhere before.

Society will become simpler as we move forward. Yet, where the concept of men and women is concerned, we’re clearly headed the opposite way.

DePaul is a great example of this, because it’s not just an American institution but also a Christian university.

The private Catholic college — located in Chicago — has been around since 1898.

It is currently home to more than 20,000 students.

DePaul’s catching the 18-and-up crowd. But, the older generations have already had almost two decades of hearing them pick alternate icons.

Last August, for instance, it was announced that new smartphone emojis may include a “pregnant man.”

New Jersey is one of the states where children are taught gender identity by age 5.

Nebraska had a plan to teach kindergarteners last year the same as in Nebraska. The state also plans on teaching 11-year-olds about pansexuality, demigenderism, and other topics.

And Cartoon Network has informed kids that neopronouns make them feel “seen” and “safe.”

The colleges can pick up cultural slack wherever all else fails. The University of Arkansas has replaced the Gender Unicorn with the Genderbread Person.

There’s no word on whether DePaul is using mythical horny horses or genital-juggling desserts, but offering nine gender options is none too shabby.

Riley Reed, the Student Government Association senator for LGBTQ+ students, told the DePaulia that the student government considers misgendering “an act of violence.”

A June 2021 article from DePaul’s Newsline featuring Mycall Riley, the university’s LGBTQIA+ Resource Center coordinator in the Office of Multicultural Student Success, echoed similar sentiments.

“Simply put, misgendering folks is harmful because it allows for trans and gender-expansive folks to be seen as jokes or as less of a person. It can make the person feel like ‘they are not important enough to remember,’ which is incredibly harmful,” Riley stated.

“Furthermore, incorrectly assuming someone’s pronouns also assumes someone’s gender, which can lead to other marginalizing and harmful behavior.”

Biblically God created men and women.

However, man and women are doing much more.

  • Co, co, cos, cos, coself
  • En, en, ens, ens, enself
  • Ey, em, eir, eirs, emself
  • Xie.
  • Yo, yo, yos, yos, yoself
  • Ze, zir, zir, zirs, zirself
  • Ve, vis. ver. ver. ver. ver. myself

And don’t forget bunself, kittenself, princesself, and innitself.

We’ve come a long way.

And with the help of schools such as DePaul University, we’re likely to go much further.
