Magazine article, “’They’ and the Emotional Weight of Words.” In this article, Cole, founder of the Brown Boi Project, welcomes the expanding list of gender pronouns. Write a letter to Cole on how you feel about this expansion of gender pronoun language. Should all gender-specific pronouns be replaced with nongender-identifying pronouns like “ze” and “emself”? I think the best answer to this problem would be to eliminate gender-specific language all together, but that is highly unlikely to happen. After all, there are many things people cannot control in their lives, but their gender pronoun should not be one.
