5 minutes I could be sleeping though <| sep |> Nobody believed that before thenAt least nobody that wasn ' t outright killed you mean . <| sep |> Places covered by the Human Rights Code employment , housing , and services like education are already legally required to refer to individuals by a specific pronoun either he or she , depending on biological gender . Is this really different ? Although I agree that a list of 30 new alternative pronouns is not a reasonable solution , what is so inherently dangerous about including a single gender neutral pronoun as an option ? I feel arguing for a standard pronoun would find more acceptance than arguing against protecting gender identityexpression , and would resolve the problem of being forced to use language in the same way no one feels ' forced ' to use he or she .
