He/She, They Them must really be bored with Their lives. They have nothing better to do that to make the American language more difficult. Maybe they should be put to work sweeping floors for a while or maybe just go back to kindergarten for a while.

This is not new, its just more pronounced and mainstream due to the attention the topic gets. In 2004 or so the cultural trainings for those who may work with the lgbt community were using something similar. Aside from the direction the world is taking, I dislike the inflammatory nature of the author's article. The Brethren have instructed us well to stand on correct principles, and, accept others. In other words, love the sinner not the sin.

WOW!!!
I'm with Caroline. The Proclamation on the Family.
We will get through this, following gospel truths regarding the family and many more will feel the truth the family holds and God teaches so beautifully.

"Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as potter's clay."
Elder Ballard explains that "Apostles are charged to be watchmen on the tower, to see 'the enemy while he is yet afar off.' " What else did they see when the Proclamation to the world on the Family was given to us 20 years ago?

After reading about what has been happening in Canada, Massachusetts, and the most recent events, including this, I think we could write a new dystopian novel based upon what most likely went on in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Talk about gender CONFUSION! I prefer to follow the counsel of Sister Oscarson and use the family proclamation as my benchmark for judging the philosophies of the world.

I am afraid more and more institutions of education are teaching students to worship mammon. It is the a practice based on a principal the is very popular in that great and spacious building with no foundation that those who follow the world rather than God dwell. Taking away gender roles through eliminating gender in language is designed to undermine the plan of salvation, marriage, and procreation. We should be careful to help our children know truth so they can and will recognize how those philosophies and principals they will be taught in school differ from, and are designed to undermine the law of God.

It would be funny if these people weren't serious. It will really start getting scary once we begin to hear the Obama/Warren/Pelosi types start to use such idiotic language in their public speeches. Then it's a matter of time before it's forced upon our children in public schools.

Just another step in the nullification of the family and delineation of gender. Not wanting to offend a person by referring to his or her gender is heinous. No matter how innocent it may appear it is yet another attempt by the adversary to try to thwart the plans of God. What a load of garbage.

How about 'zeediots"

How ridiculous can these "educators" be? And to think they were probably "educated" on the tax payers dime. I can't even pronounce these "new pronouns" let alone understand when I should use them. Males and males and females are females. There can be of offense in referring to them as such. Get a life.
