Springfield College in Massachusetts is advising students against the use of “gender-specific” words like “mother” and “father” in order to be more inclusive.
The college included its recommendations as part of its “Gender Pronouns” page, which serves to direct students on the supposedly correct language with regard to LGBT individuals in order to promote “gender inclusivity.” Springfield offers several substitutes for gender specific words; for example, instead of “mother” or “father” and “son” or “daughter,” they suggest “parent” and “child.”
“Springfield College is committed to valuing and validating the gender identity and expression of members of the campus community. Gender identity refers to an individual’s internal sense of gender, regardless of the sex assigned to them at birth or the sex designation on their legal documents,” the “Gender Pronouns” section on the website says. The website also warns against terms like brother and sister, son and daughter, waiter and waitress, mankind and many others.

Springfield also issues guidelines for all kinds of pronouns; for example, the college provides directions for the use of ze/zir/hir, name/name’s self, and they/them. They provided examples for using the pronouns such as, “Ze is studying. I studied with zir. The book is zirs.”
The website goes on to give further advice for being “gender inclusive.”

“If you conform to (most) gender expectations and are not a transgender person, don’t indicate that you ‘don’t care what pronouns are used for me,’” Springfield says. The college’s reasoning for this is that they want to avoid “reinforcing the privilege” of people who are in the traditional gender “binary.”
Springfield College did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: “Election denier!” “Science denier!” “Climate-change denier!” “Conspiracy theorist!” And then there’s “hate speech,” “fake news,” “disinformation,” “misinformation,” even something called “MALinformation.” A bizarre new lexicon has been conjured up by America’s elites, the SOLE PURPOSE of which is to discredit and ridicule – and if at all possible, CENSOR ENTIRELY – speech that doesn’t support their increasingly dark and deranged agenda. Tucker Carlson is just the latest.
In the greatest imaginable irony, the nation once boasting the most robust culture of freedom of speech and the press – undergirded by the strongest constitutional protections for those rights – is now ground zero for a total war on free expression.
How could this possibly happen in the United States of America? It’s all explained as never before in the sensational new issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE ELITES’ ALL-OUT WAR ON FREE SPEECH.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
