Who says higher education’s in trouble?

Vanderbilt made nametags recently & many included a preferred pronoun section. This is real life: pic.twitter.com/LeT7BCkdmA

Vanderbilt University now has gender pronouns on staff nameplates. Get me out of this Berenstain universe. pic.twitter.com/TuSmeY4XhY

Clearly Vanderbilt is focused on what really matters.

@CathyYoung63 I'm not really against this as long as the pronoun really exists

— Mark F Sperring (@SperringF) September 8, 2016

But why? Pronoun is usually apparent from the name, & if not from appearance.

And even if you get it wrong, what's the big deal? A few times I got someone's gender wrong when writing to them,

wrongly assuming, e.g., that a "Dana" was a Ms. or that a "Pat" was a Mr. So? You get corrected, no big deal.

Correct. Pronoun tags are unnecessary when you clearly don't identify as non-binary. This is virtue signaling.

— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) September 8, 2016

I think not "virtue signaling" so much as making the point that no one's pronouns can be assumed. Which is bullshit.

Bullsh*t? Yep, that sounds about right.

you have got to be shitting me
