ANN ARBOR -- It didn't take long for a University of Michigan student to take advantage of the newfound ability to designate a personal pronoun on the campus roster.

U-M announced Thursday, Sept. 29 that students could designate a personal pronoun (he, she, him, his, ze, etc.) in an effort to foster to inclusiveness on campus.

Well, Grant Strobl, a conservative student and chairman of the Young Americans for Freedom Board of Governors, has changed his pronoun to "his majesty," The College Fix reports.

"I henceforth shall be referred to as: His Majesty, Grant Strobl," the student told The College Fix. "I encourage all U-M students to go onto Wolverine Access, and insert the identity of their dreams."

The Young Americans for Freedom shared Strobl's pronoun application process on its website. To check out the image, click here.

These designated pronouns will automatically show on all class rosters accessed through Wolverine Access. Although, those pulled from other systems will not have designated pronouns listed.

If a student chooses not to designate a pronoun, there will not be one listed.

This move by U-M came after a student petition group collected 796 signatures to put pronouns on class rosters. The petition addresses what supporters believe is an issue for transgender students at the school.

"Asking about and correctly using someone's designated pronoun is one of the most basic ways to show respect for their identity and to cultivate an environment that respects all gender identities," Provost Martha Pollack and Vice President for Student Life Royster Harper said in the email announcement.

Eastern Michigan University offered students the same option starting in August.

"I have no problem with students asking to be identified a certain way, almost like someone named Richard who would like to be called Dick," Strobl told The College Fix. "It is respectful to make a reasonable effort to refer to students in the way that they prefer."
