"Describe your gender identity history" - GoFuckYourself.com

I didn't graduate from college that long ago, but articles like this one make me feel old, like I belong to a different generation:

Quote:

The Wesleyan campus health services clinic no longer requires students to check off "M" or "F" when coming in for a "wellness and sexual health visit." Instead, they are asked on a form to "describe your gender identity history." And this year, the former women's rugby team eliminated "women's" from its name, so that Zachary and several other transgender students would feel comfortable playing. "We don't want people yelling, `Go, girls!' " from the sidelines, Zachary explained.

[...]

Quote:

"We have a small population of transgender students," Ms. Cardwell said, "and we decided to be proactive, rather than reactive." One of the residents of Wesleyan's transgender hallway, Paige Kruza, is biologically female but looks androgynous. Paige's roommate is male and is extremely respectful, Paige said. When referring to Paige, he uses pronouns that have evolved in the transgender community: "ze" instead of "he" or "she"; "hir" instead of "him" or "her."

[...]

Quote:

At Smith, the women's college in Northampton, Mass., students voted last year to eliminate female pronouns from the student constitution at the request of transgender students. "She" and "her" were replaced with the phrase "the student."

It's so much easier to just point and say "that freak over there".
