‘He’ and ‘she’ are now ‘ze’ at Oxford

Oh, FFS!!

And by the way, Cambridge is following suit - oh wait, I can't say suit as that is a word with male connotations.

I truly despair.  Plus this is from The Times in UK - quite a reputable paper.

Students at Oxford have been told to use gender neutral pronouns such as “ze” rather than “he” or “she”.

The move, outlined in a students’ union leaflet, is intended to stop transgender students being offended. Deliberately using the wrong pronoun for a transgender person is an offence under Oxford’s behaviour code.

Students hope the use of gender neutral pronouns will be extended to lectures and seminars. The gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell welcomed the step: “This issue isn’t about being PC. It’s about respecting people’s right to define themselves as neither male nor female.”

From what I can make out, this may have originated from someone trolling The Times.
Put it in with another fake news account from MSM!!

Thanks for that - it just seemed odd when I read it.

If that is the case then I would expect The Times to post a clarification/apology/we been had followup soon.
