If you’re a committed leftist and want to work for Vice President Kamala Harris’ increasingly socialist presidential election campaign, you can sign up online—but just be sure to have your chosen pronouns ready because there are a whole lot of options. You might want to be referred to as “they/them,” “xe/xem,” or even “Batman” (although sadly, that doesn’t seem to be an option).
Sometimes it seems as if you’re reading a different language entirely:
Vice President Kamala Harris’ website allows job seekers to choose from among nine different pronoun options when applying for a position on her campaign — leading some social media users to blast the Democrat for having “more pronouns than policies.”
Applicants can select from the more mainstream “he/him,” “she/her” and “they/them” pronouns or choose less conventional gender-neutral options, including “xe/xem,” “ze/hir,” “ey/em,” and “hir/hir.”
“Hu/hu,” which indicates that a person wants to emphasize their humanity over their gender, and “Fae/faer,” which denotes that a person is fluid between multiple genders but not masculine genders, are also presented as options.
This assault on the English language would be comical if it weren’t coming from a candidate who has a shot at becoming the next president of the United States. My problem with this idiocy doesn’t just stem from the fact that there are not nine different genders but from the fact that they are corrupting grammar to the point where sentences no longer make sense.
“Activist so-and-so advocated for increased access to transgender surgery, and then they stormed off the podium and exited the conference.” Wait—who left the conference? The activist, or a whole bunch of people?
I once attended a graduation ceremony where the woke speaker kept talking about “they” and "them," and I was so confused that I literally had no idea what she was saying halfway through.

But are you struggling with which pronoun to pick? Don’t worry, Kamala’s got you covered.
Potential hires can also write in “custom” pronouns or choose to go by “name only,” when filling out an application on the Harris campaign job portal.
Job seekers are also asked how they would “contribute to building a diverse culture” and are given the option of completing a diversity survey at the end of the application which asks, “Do you identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community?” among other questions.
Unsurprisingly, the internet was not kind to this clown show:

I enjoyed this young lady’s take:
I stand separately but equally with Kamala, where I can be judged by the color of my skin, the identity of my gender, and the pronouns of my preference—not the content of my character (ew!). pic.twitter.com/DRIN5kZ2Xo

Remember this idiocy? It seems like a bad Saturday Night Live skit, but it actually happened:

This kind of ultra-woke pandering is not new to Harris; in fact, she’s been plugging it for years, the NY Post story (linked above) reports.
Harris, 59, has long pushed for Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and so-called “woke” social-justice-oriented initiatives throughout her political career, which has sparked concern from some conservatives that she will pursue those sorts of domestic policies as president.
“We have to stay woke. Like, everybody needs to be woke,” Harris urged during a 2017 conference.
In the clip, which has recently gone viral, Harris adds, “And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.”
As the nation faces soaring inflation, overseas conflicts that threaten to spread, and a border crisis where millions of illegal immigrants have been allowed to slip into our country—including some very, very bad people—this is what Kamala chooses to prioritize. Well, that and communist-style price controls.
Her vision for America is not what’s needed in these times, and we must do everything in our power to ensure that come January of next year, she is not sitting at the Resolute Desk trying to figure out what pronoun people should use for the commander in chief.
