Now It’s Just Silly – University Urges Staff to Use ‘Neopronouns’: ‘Emojiself,’ “Catgender,’ and Worse – Opinion

Every time another ridiculous story pops up about the latest “woke” pronouns, I tell myself I’m not going to write about it. Most of those times I’m able to refrain. I was unable to resist this time. It was hard to believe, but I couldn’t stop myself. Not that I wanted to. Perhaps you’re puzzled why not? This one is. insane.

So here’s the thing. At the University of Bristol, staff are encouraged to use personal pronouns preferred when speaking with students or other staff. To that end, according to a recent report from the U.K.’s Telegraph, the university is providing staff guidance on how to properly use pronouns at work. You know — “woke” style. Nice, Personal touch, right? Not even close.

We’re talking “neopronouns” like “emojiself” and “catgender.” And worse.

Bristol University has been ridiculed for encouraging staff to use a gender pronoun guide which included “catgender” for people who identify as cats, and “emojiself” for people who identify with emojis.#gripthttps://t.co/vvrUzTKMCD

You were crazy.

Before we continue, ridiculously concocted “neopronouns” are a category of new (neo) pronouns that are increasingly used in place of “she,” “he,” or “they” when referring to a person — by preferred “identification,” of course. These are xe/xem/xyr ze/hir/hirs and ey/em/eir. Note: They forgot e-i-e-i-o, but I’m sure it’ll be the next big thing.

Here’s the worst part:

Individuals who opt for “catgender,” notes the Telegraph, may use personal pronouns “nya” or “nyan,” which is a Japanese word for… wait for it… “meow.”

These articles are my work. Are we living in a fantastic country?

Then we have “emojiself” pronouns, defined as “a form of gender-neutral neopronouns.”

These are very similar to nounself-pronouns, but they don’t use letters. Instead, they use emojis and other pictograms. There are many reasons why emojis might be used. Some people like how they look or sound, others love the way they can make their heads, and some feel the emojis accurately describe their gender.

Staff is encouraged to avoid becoming defensive (or, no doubt, confused as hell) if they make a mistake in using or misusing someone’s preferred personal pronoun. This guide was transcribed and published by The Telegraph.

Don’t get defensive. You can simply thank the other person for correcting your mistake, quickly apologize, and continue to use the proper pronouns.

Then go lock yourself in a closet and scream — until you get that crap out of your head.

BTW, emojiself? Ain’t that something? Who’d a thunk the left-wing loon-o-sphere would support reducing an Human being that thinks independentlyYou can also visit emoji? Wait—

Incidentally, as reported Newsweek, Bristol University has removed the guide’s link following an immense amount of ridicule — every bit of which, it richly deserved.

A guide is available on our site that’s designed to assist people in understanding the various nuances and variations of this topic. The link takes you to an extra LGBTA Wiki page that provides additional information. This page then links to a page dedicated to catgender.

This external link is not intended to be used for official university guidance. We are sorry that this has been made public. This being said, we’ve removed the link and apologize for the confusion.

Uh-huh. Or after the crap hits the pronoun lover.

The University of Bristol did what — ahem — “institutes of higher learning” always doWhen they were caught wearing their neopronoun pants on, it lied.
