Parson Golden

Respecting peoples individual pronouns is little different than respecting peoples individual religions, or nicknames. It makes no difference to any university, Christian or otherwise how people prefer to be addressed.

Leave it to some good “Christians” to spread a little hate wherever they can.

Nicholas J Page

This is all very silly and somebody needs to wake up from hibernation and smell the coffee.Its madness He/She/It has been around since the year dot Im 65 and i have never heard such nonsense in all my life.Excuse me from using this but its boring crap.Theres more to life then all these pronouns is anybody that actually cares that we maybe heading for WW3 With all the wars going on in the world someone needs to get a grip and concentrate on the state of the earth im deadly serious Cut all this now and concentrate on issues that matter

Colleen McAllister

I will be so happy when everyone is allowed to be who they are with no judgement. Even if this college has the right, I do not believe that they should stop people from using whatever pronouns they choose.

Daniel Hatch

When I was a child attending the public schools from kindergarten to 12th grade, I only remember being called, "Hey, you!"

I lived.

Melinda Fulk

I have been trying to use "they" far more often and will continue to do so. It is always correct, singular or plural. I do not, however, view "it" as a valid pronoun, even for animals.

David George Promis

Call yourself whatever you want, but don’t demand others to conform to your self imposed nomenclature. We as a society tend to sling ourselves into the far left or far right every few years, and now we are slung far left where people are demanding that we adhere to what “triggers” them…really? I can’t justify this child like behavior, especially when there are so many more problems that need to be addressed. I’ll start using preferred pronouns when: wars are averted, homelessness is non existent, people stop 🛑 killing each other everyday over petty actions/thoughts, cancer is oblivion, etc. what a trivial spoiled society we have become 😔

Rev. MichaelRS

"That means any context where pronoun declaration is common".

"...where pronoun declaration is COMMON."

THAT is the problem.

Placating such delusions has become COMMON.

For over 6,000 years of human history language has reflected the gender binary. The reason it has done that is because, other than rare physiologically abnormal outliers, it has been, and continues to be, a self-evident truth.

But these days biological truth matters not when it comes to this Insidious infection of the mind

Bishop William Dusenberry, DD

Christian College? Any place (business, organization, establishment, etc) that calls itself a college, must be open to all points of view, debate all relevant issues, have a cultural and religiously diverse faculty, and open to change, as science and technology change. This Christian business, is a business, whose primary purpose, is to indoctrinate— not to educate.

Organizations such as this, should be sued for false advertising, for calling itself a school.

Paul

There have always been male, female and intersex people. The ancient Greeks acknowledged hermaphroditism. He / She / It. The difference now is that non-binary people, and we've all met such people, are choosing to identify as such. Why should anyone care. What difference does it make to you if you acknowledge someone's preference. Will you suddenly turn into a tolerant and compassionate human? Are you worried about that?

Father Frederick

Since people demand that I use pronouns in their presence, perhaps I need to "demand" that I be referred to as "your majesty", else they are guilty of hate speech and I can sue them. Yes, not the Godly thing to do, but when faced with absurdity one must be more absurd than the offender.

Rolando Couce

we must stop this cancer from growing.

Bridget Kielas-Fecyk

Why in the hell does it matter if someone who's he wants to be called she or vice / versa? Why the hell does it matter if someone wants to be called they / them? This is absolutely ridiculous.

The HATE has gotten so bad that people's JOBS are being threatened if they show even the slightest compassion? That's just brutal. I thought the USA was better than this.

This has got nothing to do with religious views at this point. This is about all-out HATE. If anyone reads, or has read, the New Testament, this kind of cruelty toward others is one thing that Jesus, if you believe in one such being, specifically WARNS everyone against.

Bridget Kielas-Fecyk

For those claiming there are only TWO genders and that being LGBTQIA+ is "unnatural", "evil", that kids are being "forced to be it", etc. WRONG.

Genetically speaking, there are over 50 human gender variants, though outwardly, a person's gender can be born to show one of four physical appearances.

1) Born appearing to be male.

2) Born appearing to be female.

3) Born hermaphroditic, i.e. showing both gender traits.

4) Born genderless, showing no gender traits.

Now, that being said, it's not unusual for the PARENTS to choose their children's gender if they are born hermaphrodite or genderless. However, what the parents choose may NOT be what the gender of the child actually is. Nor does their outward appearance always show their true gender as well.

Allow me to explain.

You see, genetically speaking, as I stated earlier, there are multiple human genders, and there are many, many MORE gender variants. You can appear to be female by birth, and yet, genetically, be male. Internally, at the genetic level, your DNA shows that you are actually "wired" to be male, as it were.

You can appear to be male, by birth, and yet, genetically, be female. Internally, at the genetic level, your DNA shows you are actually "wired" to be female.

So, despite what some individuals may espouse and claim, there are FAR more than two human genders. Hell, even by birth, you can physically be one of four outward appearances. And it is, I assure you, all completely natural. There is no "god" factor with this, or a "devil" factor, or anything supernatural involved. For those who believe in such a thing.

It all comes down to how your DNA came together before you were ever born. So for those saying individuals who are LGBTQ+ are "unnatural", and those disparaging Trans individuals as "refusing their birth-right", you're wrong. It's completely natural. And, in fact, an individual transitioning to the other gender may, in fact, be simply gaining the physical appearance they were meant to have all along.

Going to enjoy watching this, two corrupt phony pathological entity groups battling each other, a struggle that for once could have an ultimate legitimate winner: non-pathological, normal society.

Theresa C. Marquess

It is all so ridiculous. We have three pronouns that have been acceptable for a very long time, he, she, or it. They are grammatically correct. Why do we need to clutter the English language with a host of others that don't make much sense? I have to agree with the college. It doesn't matter whether or not you agree with me, this is the way I roll...

Russel A. Kester

I agree with the college's decision. And agree it should apply to students as well. The college has based it's decision on legitimate reasoning from its holy scriptures. Civilization since the dawn of time has acknowledged two genders which corresponded to the two sexes and language evolved to reflect that basic fact as acknowledged by those societies. It is only since our society got so mired in Social Justice scholarship and the quest to tear down everything in the past as bad and change the meaning or words and ideas to fit the new postmodern based ideologies of the various critical theories and studies in order to blur categorical boundaries and rebuild society according to social justice values that this has all become problematic. But problematizing language in order to erase previous categories used by language is exactly what these so called scholars wish to do and thereby confusing everyone and forcing them to use the words demanded by their Social Justice warriors. Anyone who doesn't use them is then branded with a negative label and shamed. They use terms like racist, supremacist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, and on and on. Never should these persons be allowed to tell me or anyone else that we're wrong for using personal pronouns as they've been used for thousands and maybe tens of thousands of years. The insanity must stop, and I applaud the school for taking a stand.

Robert Gagnon

Their school, their rules. I'm sure furies aren't can't be addressed as Puss Puss or Bowsy Wowsy. I agree with Teresa When unsure just use it. Perfectly describes an object of unknown description. This childish game of pretending to be an avatar created for identification is a personal whim, and not real. It's ok in the social media to pretend, but in the real world most people prefer not to be bothered with another verbal obstacle to deal with.

Daniel Todd Kamm

Funny how the evolutionary advantage of discrimination, (what is safe, what is not, what to eat, what not to eat, and which one is the one with the pheromones that smell like "good breeding" ) has become so highly developed in people alongside our other "highly developed" traits that it has become a disadvantage? Rebtk

ServantOfJudgement

We have the right to speak which automatically implies the right to not speak. We can't be forced to say something. I can't be forced to call a singular person they or them. Nope.

The school is on par with pure logic and reason.

Rev Ned

Since I became a Master Gardener in Illinois 5 years ago, I like the pronoun “Master”.

Merlin

New “club” rules? Did Jesus give the thief on the cross the “ rules” of being a “Christian” before the told him “I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise”? No. Man created separation.

Matthew Mastrogiovanni

Just a little respect for others, is that to hard for a Christian to do?

Darrell White

In a rare case , science and religion do agree that there are only two genders. It’s very sad that when this fact is stated this is branded as “hating “in the name of Jesus. Somewhere along the way , we ,as a society have lost our way and refuse to stand for the truth. So now we have an institution that stands up and refuses to play the pronoun game and affirms what science and the Bible declares, that there are male and female only , that they are being hateful. Declaring the truth is not hate. Proclaiming the truth is what the church must do. Be ye not conformed by the world is what the word tells us, the church must stand as a beacon of light .

David George Promis

The point is that one has the right to prefer any pronouns he/she wants to be called, but to attempt to force this recognition onto others is conceited and not a top priority when there are GREATER needs in our World then behaving like the World should do as you tell it, or you will stomp your feet and holler “Triggered”.

Rev Mark D

How many people have died from fentanyl overdose, been raped or trafficked, been shot, been killed, animals abused, women been brutalized for not wearing a hijab, girls been relegated to no education past the age of six, then been sold into marriage, suffered an honor killing, while you emotional for four year olds have been working yourselves up in this expending all your energy dancing on the head of a pin? Don't want to be judged, and put your idiotic energy into something written above.

Rev_Shaun

Perhaps someone can show me the passage in the Bible that states 'Thou Shall Not Use Pronouns'.

But to be honest this whole pronoun thing is a bit of a nonsense, just like all this fashionable 'non-binary' nonsense. You are what's between your legs, that is all.

The day a pronoun will help me to comfort a crying student, then I will use them. In the meantime, you can shove 'em where the sun don't shine.

William I. Hegeman

Interesting reading how all these binary opinions justifying conservative viewpoints.
Ask a good Rabbi how many genders are in the Bible, it is more than two.

Did Jesus hang out with the Pharisees, the conservatives of the time?

No, Jesus spent time with the publicans and sinners. Where did these people come from to assemble in more urban conclaves. The very people that escape rural and suburban conservative families and views. These conclaves today of publicans and sinners are where our urban LGBTQIA and more migrate to. Treated as an underclass useful to work, but not in a place where outright stoning can take place. Living in rural or suburban world where the churches treat them as outcasts are physically and psychologically abused or murdered.

Jesus with the woman at the Well. "How are your husbands?". She replies, "I have no husband". What did Jesus respond to, not the polyandry. It was the lie that He rebuked. We have to live, respect and accept our truths as well as others, as Jesus did.

I am surprised this didn't get redacted from the bible like the extended story of Jesus and Lazarus.

AS a member of Universal Life Church, clergy, It takes me a Pagan, to point this out.

What Wheaton does and our reaction to it speaks much to how this body is made up.

IT is what we do, how we minister to others, that should be judged. The embroiled semantics where "they" is perfectly acceptable, has been in the English language for 100's of years.

New pronouns, the airplane, which one 747, 737, aerobus. The plain " the" and an object, gives you no clue that it is a biplane. Do you care?

When you are so mistreated by a normal pronoun, demanding a distinction to see as a litmus test whether or not you will respect their differences and not abuse them. Is it so unreasonable? Is it difficult for me to get it correct at times? Yes. Do I correct myself? Yes. Is that so hard? Not for me.

I live, have friends and acquaintances that are of every disenfranchised section of humanity. It is one reason why "pagan" tends to be a friendlier community. It too has these divisive binary concerns in different groups. People leave those groups just as fast.

Who cares what Wheaton does? Should it not be a clarion call, for all of us to do better, and be more accepting. What can we do to accept individuals and minister to each of their needs, as opposed to how we can stuff them in convenient impersonal boxes. How do you build community or congregations when you do that?

Dr. Zerpersande, NSC

Long comment section. Was asking my 28 y.o. daughter, that works in a high profile tech company if how often she’s encountered trans people here in Japan. Nope. In Thailand but not Japan.

Maybe many of you are aware that there has been for quite some time a trend in the younger generations of Korea, and two large extent Japan for the males to groom, dress and carry themselves rather androgynous manner, which, of course means appearing more effeminate. But never heard of the pronoun thing here.

I remember, perhaps 20 years ago, walking into a public bathroom and seeing long, straight haired person, putting on make up at the mirror. My reaction? I thought I was in the wrong toilet and backed out until I saw that it was the men’s. Did I freak? Not at all just walked on and use the toilet.

I think too big of a deal has been made of this. Call people what they wanna be called. I think the only issue that I come down on the same side as the open“ unnatural against God“ group is that I don’t think that males should be on female sports teams unless they have fully and completely transition, including having visited ‘Dr. Dyker, reformed sniper, he’ll whip off your windshield wiper.’

John Alex Paxson

Catherine

How does this discussion not end at an inevitable impasse? What of value is gained by either side pushing the other around?

Same as right to free speech doesn't imply a right to be heard, identifying with a personal pronoun does not mean anyone else has to use it. How could that realistically be enforced?

Insistance that the rest of the world keep up with an individual's self-dentification which could change, is not reasonable. Though neither is insistence that every individual strictly identifies as male or female.

On one hand, I think isn't the English language in the U.S. complicated enough? On the other, why shouldn't individuals identify as they please?

And how not surprising this involves Wheaton, Illinois, where there are more churches in a square mile than almost any other area in the U.S. Though I don't bother with clarifying personal pronouns, if ever there was a good place to start a ruckus about that, Wheaton is prime territory.

Rev. Rory

If a Christian school wants to make this their policy, people with preferred pronouns most likely will not wish to work there or attend the school. It's living in a bubble, but future employees and students will know that it is a bubble of their choosing.

Where I have a problem with this is when a PUBLIC school is required to follow these laws/rules.

"(in Florida)The state law, which took effect in July (2023), says school employees cannot tell students to call the employees by their preferred titles or pronouns, if the preference does not correspond to the sex assigned at birth."

I consider that to be a particular religion restriction on public schools. Should public schools dictate head coverings, dietary restrictions, required prayer gatherings, posting of the 10 Commandments, etc.?

I remember when parents and students would choose to attend a public school, a private school or religious school based on their own belief system and financial means. The public schools were a combination of students of different faiths and belief systems. Mom's for Liberty is now opening charter schools across the country with a curriculum written by an Evangelical Christian college and paid for in full by the taxpayers - with a percentage of money flowing back to the religious organization. In addition, there is no school board or state oversight. I see this as dangerous and unamerican. As a taxpayer, I don't care to fund this type of "public" education, nor do I wish taxpayer money to fund a particular church or any church.

Brien

You can call yourself anything you like. You wish to identify as a truck? Then call yourself a truck. Please do not ask me to participate in your nonsense. If you find "yes sir" and "yes ma'am" offensive, then feel free not to speak with me. The lesson here is simple. You can believe whatever you wish, but you may not indoctrinate me into it. I am constantly hammering on organized religions about indoctrinating and this is NO DIFFERENT. Peace✌

Stacey Owens

If you know it or not, humanity is creating it own distraction by eliminating it own existence to becoming a What? Now. If your a what then you become a title as a thing and a thing can it's anything. And if your anything your nothing. So you don't exist and God didn't create man or woman and Christ's death was in vain and he didn't exist.

What's funny, why would humanity create a law to eliminate exactly it's existence as a man or woman? We're not you, hey, it, what, or them. We're mankind, created in the image and likeness of God. (LIFE in CHRIST JESUS)!

If anything were CHRIST'S and Christ is the image of God, THE LIFE.

James Riggle-Johnson

Who cares what a person puts in their signature line of a letter or email? I don’t care about what a person wants to call themselves. It’s extra work for them. I’m too lazy to go the extra step to say I’m a he/him. It doesn't mean you have to address them that way.

When you walk up to someone and say hello to Mr. Smith or Ms. Smith. How could you possibly know they want to be greeted as They Smith? And if they correct you what is wrong with saying, I might have a problem remembering that? How about I call you Eric or Erica?

I can’t understand why it’s a burden to let someone put in their signature line He/Him or anything else. That doesn’t force you to address them that way. We are making a big deal over nothing. When I sign a letter or email, I don’t use a pronoun. That doesn’t mean I have to be offended if you put one in your signature line. Again, why do we have to be threatened by someone else doing it?

What you all disregard is that over time, the language has significantly changed and evolved and will continue to do so. Language is fluid and what is seen as gramatically correct now, probably wasn't the norm a couple of hundred years ago and might not be into the future. Your *****ing about nothing is not going to significantly change the future of language development.

Ari Joseph Bertine

While I sympathize with the students who believed that they were attending a Christian college and are understandably disappointed to find out otherwise, I am sure that they will find a way to deal with it. Students have always been innovative in demonstrating the folly of bad policies to their schools.

For instance, consistent misgendering of administration could be an interesting exercise, with said administration by their own laws forbidden to correct that it is forbidden for them to express a preferred pronoun. Just as an example of one of many things that could be done to address the situation.

On the serious side, though, it is disturbing that the school's byline mentions its mission involving making "an impact for Christ". I cannot imagine that draconian rules casting compassion away into the trash would make a very positive impact for Christ.

James L. Giberson

I fully support Wheatons Policy. More people, and organizations need to start making the difficult right decisions over the easy wrong ones. Thank you.

Steven Ferrell

Good for the University. There are only two sexes, male and female and you are born one or the other. To say a male can be a female and a female can be a male is equal to saying God made a mistake on that person. God does not make mistakes.
For those who will disagree with me, that is your respective right to your opinion. I have my right to my opinion.
Have a great day everyone.

Michael Dwayne Cooper

The freedom to do what you want doesn't mean you should force everyone else to do it too. There are biologically only two genders. If you like someone of the same gender you are homosexual. I've read over this so-called list of fifty something genders and it's ridiculous that someone would claim the right to be offended over someone not knowing to call someone by some special pronoun. When someone doesn't have an argument to stand on, they make stuff up. Jesus has perfect love for everyone. With as much love as I can muster, I encourage everyone to give themselves without shame to Jesus and always deal sincerely with him in truth. There is no greater friend and ultimately, he is the creator, let him create you to perform that which he called you to do.

Richard Faust

It seems the students are in the wrong Vocation. There are many Religious schools to attend not all fit the student. It is the students responsibility to find one that fits their agenda, not the schools responsibility to change their belief system.

The reality is that there are 3 basic groups that self proclaimed Christians fall under. Their faith is either based on 1) their personal definition 2) The worlds definition or 3) The Bibles definition. Only one of those gets you to heaven.

John A Carreiro

Hi All, The bottom line here is what your particular church's bible states. As in this case if Wheaton's, an evangelical college, bible states thus about this matter in a God dircted way then those who are of this church faith must follow their bible's instructions to the letter. If any student currently there disagrees with this they need to leave the college and go elsewhere. If any potential student disagrees with Wheaton College's policy then simply do not apply to become a sturdent. The point all these anti policy folks seem to ignore is that they do run the college and they do not get the right to change the adminstration's right to set policy they believe in according to the college,s religious beliefs. So it is really not about iscrimination but about power. The customer, the students and some folks that work their, what to run the college their way and then heck with the administration's right to run the college as they see if. The inmates want to run the asylum. Does not work that way. In Gamaliel’s conclusion is that a messianic movement which is from human origin is doomed to fail; but if it is of divine origin it is destined to succeed. It would be better to let the disciples of Jesus do as they please rather than to “fight against God.” So take it from there all you complainers. If this is a bad policy then Wheaton College will evetually close it doors if there are wrong but if not then they will succeed and your complaint's will be of no consequence. Rev J

Leonard Norwitz

One's personal pronouns are "I" or "We." That's it. Nothing else. "Preferred pronouns" are the pronouns some people would prefer others use when speaking "of" them, not "to" them. In speaking to another person, there is only one pronoun: "you." Otherwise, we use their name -- which is how I suggest we resolve the question when referring to another: If you don't know someone's "preferred pronoun" or don't care to use it, just use their name.

For those saying harshly that "They" is plural, period, and claim it's a perversion of the english language to claim otherwise, or that people don't know proper english to say otherwise, I do have news for you.

THEY is not only a plural word, but also singular, even in the Oxford and other dictionaries.

I'm a nice person. I'm going to show you some proof that THEY is both plural and a singular word, depending on the context used. It's been that way for over 200 years. It's only those individuals who have developed an intense hatred for anyone who are LGBTQ+ who have begun throwing temper tantrums over proper english use of a word.

Oxford Dictionary - They as a singular and as a plural depending on context of use.

I have read many comments about the use or nonuse of personal pronouns. What I find amusing that personal pronouns were used to make his/her point, regarding us so called, " Christian Bigots." I am used to the use of personal pronouns and am not about to soon change because in writing they help reduce redundancy. We have become a World of satisfying and appeasing the status quo, when we should be clear in our intent in processing our view.

Karen Ruth Greb

Don't these individuals have anything better to do. If you are truly Christian, treat others with the same respect that you are worthy of. The Bible was written by men who interjected whatever pronoun that that individual used at that time. If you ask me, not that you are, this school is declaring itself to be a very non Christian organization.

Isnt it all so tiresome. Guess he/she will have to be replaced with the name of the individual.

Vincent Paul Therrien

The theology that asserts God made only male and female is silly. God made day and night. Does this mean that God didn't make dawn and dusk? God made land and water. Does that mean God didn't make the marsh? If not, who did? Some estimates are that 1.7% of human population is intersex - literally not make, not female, but both. If God didn't create these people, who did? Sometimes us Christians like to put God in a box. We define what God is, what God isn't, what God created, what God didn't create. Silly us!

Here we can share how we feel and how the topics of our time affect us. Please continue to express your heartfelt feelings. Practice the difficult conversations so that when it comes time to do so in person, we can be better prepared.

Since each person will be at a different point on their journey, it is imperative to tease out the other person’s feelings before expressing our own. If your feelings are different, I urge care and kindness while expressing your own. Life is short and we need every friend we have along the way.

And I am still waiting for ANYONE to provide GOOD evidence for the existence of ANY god. Why should anyone care about the rantings of a made up deity or his immoral acts such as drowning everyone and slaughtering babies? The fact that people use the rantings of that immoral deity to denigrate, demean and torture others is beyond reprehensible.

Sadly, very few christians are very Christ-like.

Cyril R. VanKeirsbelk

Feel free to tell me what pronouns you would like me to use. I am under no obligation to use them, but I probably will if I remember (if you were a jerk about it, count on me getting them wrong).

When you declare something to be the truth despite facts to the contrary it doesn't make it true, it just makes you a liar. God, in his (or her if you prefer, I am going with the traditional) infinite wisdom, creates males, females and hermaphrodites. Clearly not a binary.

There are XY males, YY males, XX males (1 in 20,000 males is XX, they are sterile), and even XYY males . All four types are born males. There are XX and XY females both are born female. Hermaphrodites are XX.

So by birth genitalia and chromosomes we have 7 genders. Just by chromosomes there are 4 genders. By birth genitalia there are at least 3 genders. This doesn't count orientation (which is NOT a choice) at all. By any metric Gender is NOT binary. God made it that way. If you have a problem with how God does things, keep it to yourself.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

THANK YOU, COLLEGE.

And for you mental cases who claim Christianity but don't know if you have an XX or an XY chromosome, there are two ways to find out:

The cheap way: Unbutton your pants and stick your hand there there. If you can wrap your hand around whats down there, you're a boy. If you can stick your finger into whats down there, you're a girl.

The expensive way: Send your DNA off to any accredited lab in the world and they can tell you within a few hours if you are a boy or girl.

No, God doesn't change to conform to your desires. YOU conform to his.

This concludes today's brief Leviticus 18:22 sermon.

Lady Mutt Cat

I changed my primary care provider when I had to fill in new forms online after not seeing a physician for a couple of years. The form required me to list pronouns, and I refused to do so. I have no problem with people who choose to provide this information, but there was no way on earth I was going to knuckle under to the PC police and play along.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sorry. Since I can't run my hand down your pants to find out if you're a he or a she (without getting arrested), then if you look like a he, I'm calling you a he. if you look like a her, I'm calling you a her. Sorry Too bad, too sad. If you confuse the situation with your silly lipstick and wig and out-of-gender clothes, then that's just too bad for you.

Your rights don't extend past your mental illness to force me to defy logic and participate in your mental illness fantasy. Simple science says if you have a pecker, you're a he. If you have a vagina, you're a she. I'm not getting into the genetics debate or the "female trapped in a male body" debate. That's the way it's done, always has been done up until we got "woke" and "PC", and that's the way I'll continue to do it until I die, if it's OK with y'all.

And even if it isn't OK with y'all.

It's really not a big issue, it's a business issue entirely... When you're on company time or representing the company is defined in that paragraph at the beginning, your time is not your own, and you are denied the right to make a personal privilege at the expense of your employer, and this is a policy that applies as a condition of your employment. End of story. It's different when you're on your own personal time and personal business, then your personal needs can be precedent. So it's just a business matter regarding boundaries. What's the problem? Answer: it's not a problem, it's manufactured.
