this psyop probably began before I was born,

but when i was going thru elementary school, and supposedly learning “English”

i distinctly remember these absolutely jarring sentences that just had really weird pronoun useage,

for example, the sentence opened with

(a person, presumably a man, but later revealed to be a woman) in a (traditionally male dominated field) (does something), (insert female pronoun) (the big implied gender reveal)

the fireman got in her fire truck

the English language, was once highly biased, in the sense that ordinary, non-specific pronouns etc were given male pronouns,

fire-man

congress-man

but even our story-telling, in its most basic form, favors male pronouns

he him his

but then along come the pronoun police,

forcing DEI on everyone

male pronouns aren’t “inclusive” enough

now even a fire-man is a fire-person

today, in 2026 we associate pronoun weirdness with trans and non-binary

and looking back on it now, all of these English classes seemed to be built around pronoun progressivism

each year they move the needle a little more,

we start out with female firemen,

and we “progress” until one day we have pregnant men and “chest feeding”

in the comments below, please describe if your English lessons felt the same way

Did they use gendered pronouns in very awkward manner?

Should we throw away all these DEI pronoun police propaganda?

Should we go back to using highly biased and highly exclusive male centered, generic pronouns?

Should we go back to just saying that

the fireman got in his firetruck?
