College pronoun backfire

It's that time of year...

I believe IU does/did something similar, I had a friend list himself as 'Jedi Master -------'

I have to lol at that one.
I may have told the census person my religion was Jedi in the 2000 census. Why? Because I did not think they deserved a real answer and in my youth that seemed like a logical response. They came to my house, in person after I did not fill out the form. If I knew then what I do not they would have never made it in the door. Back then I answered their questions face to face. When I said Jedi as a response to the question what was my religion the census worker smiled and had a good chuckle, but dutifully wrote it down. I am also pretty certain Canada recognized Jedi as a religion shorty before I had that encounter.

So what's everyone's INGO pronoun going to be?

If you want you can call me a Jedi(see the above post as the government may already)you may,but my religion is not my pronoun(and a Jedi is a fictional religion unless you are in Canada). I am a man(also not a pronoun,it is a noun) and hope I do not need to explain the pronoun's that go along with it.

But as you know it is fine to make up new pronouns, this has been blessed by the self-anointed royal insane. So if I say my pronoun is Jedi or Fearless Leader (or substitute any, literally any, string of characters here) it is a new pronoun I just bravely created that happens to sound like some other word. That is who I am.

I think I’ll go with “Supreme Overlord” seems fitting.

Probably because the original post is several years old. I almost did the same thing before I noticed.

Wow, I didn't even notice that. I thought this pronoun crap was a more recent symptom.

Me too, I don’t remember it being a thing for that long, maybe we just blocked it out to cope

If it ain't obvious it doesn't really matter.
