Not the Onion

By Adam Minihan | June 25, 2014

Vancouver school board introduces gender-neutral pronouns for the exquisitely PC Student No.  Really. Students and teachers in Vancouver, British Columbia, can now use the gender-neutral pronouns “xe,” “xem,” and “xyr.” The move is designed to accommodate students for whom “he” and “she” does not fit or is deemed inappropriate.
