Berkeley killing renews debate over gender pronouns
2017-03-29
[YAHOO] Pablo Gomez Jr. was a University of California, Berkeley, senior majoring in Latino studies and a prominent campus activist when authorities say he stabbed to death a popular elementary-school teacher.
I think that means he's majoring in campus activism...
Soon, the crime that police described as "very brutal and unusual" in a city that reported just two homicides last year was sucked up into the debate over gender identity when it was reported that Gomez preferred to be called "they" rather than "he."
I can understand that, by golly. I get all sorts of worked up when I'm not referred to as "snilt."
Yes, but you are a good citizen. He is an evil murderer who is about to spend the rest of his life -- or a good portion of it -- among the kinds of people who won't give a plugged nickel about his preferences. It's a kindness to help him get used to the feeling.
Even in famously liberal Berkeley, with its long history of protest, the uproar came as a surprise, overwhelming the online news site, www.berkeleyside.com, that first reported on Gomez's preference.
