THE LIFE OF A GRADUATE STUDENT: ‘Diversity Training’ at Wisconsin. “At the end of yesterday’s diversity ‘re-education,’ we were told that our next session would include a presentation on ‘Trans Students.’ At that coming session, according to the handout we were given, we will learn how to let students ‘choose their own pronouns’, how to correct other students who mistakenly use the wrong pronouns, and how to ask people which pronouns they prefer (‘I use the pronouns he/him/his. I want to make sure I address you correctly. What pronouns do you use?’).”

Isn’t a “trans student” someone who wasn’t born a student but who identifies as one?
