You would be shocked to hear the programs going on in colleges and universities today.

They are making non-discriminatory and gender neutral language a REQUIREMENT for students who want to get decent grades. That means if you are a student going to any of these ultra-progressive schools (some of them touted as being "conservative") you must use such words (non-confrontational or socially conscious) lest you lose points on your grade sheet with particular professors.

They're actually coming up with NEW WORDS to take the place of traditionally gender specific pronouns and such.

You have heard of Common Core and its fallout. It seems to me this is just one more item on the list. The commies are hell-bent on changing the way educated people speak. And their so-called education is going to spill over to such industries as Whole Foods markets.
No surprise there.

This could be a lot of fun. We could start dropping in to such stores and just walk around talking to people, saying such things as "Good morning, Ma'am" and "Thank you, sir."

And say it loudly, but not too loudly. They might ask you to leave if you're too loud.

Oh, and BTW we don't have to actually BUY anything. But if we do, we should be sure to have a nice, polite conversation at the checkstand!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

From MIT (yes, that's Massachusetts Institute of Technology):

Gender Neutral Pronoun Usage:

Subject Object Possessive Possessive Reflexive
Adjective Pronoun
Female She Her Her Hers Herself
Male He Him His His Himself
Gender
Neutral Ze Hir Hir Hirs Hirself
Spivak E Em Eir Eirs Emself

How to pronounce gender neutral pronouns:

Ze Hir Hirs Hirself E Em Eir Eirs Emself
/zee/ /here/ /heres/ /hereself/ /ee/ /em/ /air/ /airs/ /emself/

Examples of how to use these pronouns:

She went to her bedroom.
He went to his bedroom.
Ze went to hir bedroom.
E went to eir bedroom.

I am her sister.
I am his sister.
I am hir sister
I am eir sister.

She shaves herself.
He shaves himself.
Ze shaves hirself.
E shaves emself.

Looks like whoever made that sign is non-binary.

Years ago I was listening to a lefty talk show called "The Young Turks" The hosts (there were three) played a recording of an unpopular Arizona sheriff who used the word "they". After the recording was done, one of the three took issue with the use of the word "they" and said it had an exclusionary component to it.

Liberalism is a sin. Leftism is a mental disorder.
