Do we really want to be filling up our jails with persons whose only crime was to use the wrong pronoun, and so offend a Transgendered Person? [Editor’s Note: there is no such thing as a “transgendered person.” There are only persons who say they are transgendered persons.] Oh, sure, it’s a crime, all right. But why should honest armed robbers, carjackers, murderers, and thieves have to share their cells with these hate-crime merchants?
But one thing government can do is actually make it impossible to commit this particular hate-crime! Huh? you say. How? you cry. Simple!
Just plug in this sound every time you need to use a pronoun. It will serve for all possible pronouns. Everybody is able to make this sound, although I have no idea how to spell it. Maybe it can’t be spelled. So let this symbol, (&), represent this sound:
There we have it! What could be easier? “Poor Sandy! Did you hear what happened to (&)? Well, (&) was downstairs and (&) phone rang and when (&) ran up to get it, (&) fell…” As if by magic, all hate-crime pronouns disappear.
Indeed, the same general principle might be applied to ALL objectionable language! “(&) think (&) (&) (&)…”
And no one ever need be offended again.
Excellent idea! Now if there were only a way to put that sound to print. Then we could include it on all government forms lol
Count me in.
Or they could all move to D.C. In case you missed it, the nitwits in Washington have outdone themselves:

Gee, I dunno. Everyone would have to be issued little umbrellas to hold in front of their faces. The pronoun “&” gets pretty juicy when used repeatedly.
And then there would be all those complaints about discrimination if one person was referred to as a “&” of longer duration than another. Hey, when you want to be a victim, there are always new microaggressions to invent.
