At Ohio University, the professors and students are often bullied into changing their vocabularies in order to not offend their peers. They now have a preferred pronoun policy.

In this policy, it states: "A lot of the time it can be tempting to go on and on about how bad you feel that you messed up or how hard it is for you to get it [preferred pronouns] right. But please, don't! It is inappropriate and makes the person who was mis-gendered feel awkward and responsible for comforting you, which is absolutely not their job. It is your job to remember people's PGPs."

A person who chooses to dedicate their lives to teaching at a University, and spends 30+ years at colleges and universities, shouldn't be told that it is THEIR jobs to comfort and coddle people who do not respect them by belittling, labeling them as a potential "homophobe" or "oppressor", and be in fear of their jobs because somebody was offended. Someone who has put themselves in debt to better their lives, such as the students, should not be in fear of being harassed because they didn't refer to somebody as "xe", or anyone at all who criticizes their agendas and narratives.

Please remove these policies, we are only people who want to get an education, not people who are putting themselves in a position to be harassed, or actually wants to "oppress" anybody by talking normally and casually.

We need to respect our teachers and our students by not restricting free speech.
