| University of Kansas students are being offered buttons spelling out their preferred gender pronouns |
| 2016-12-29 |
| [DailyMail] - Library employees now sport the pins, with extras given to interested students - The buttons come in three versions: 'He him his,' ''She her hers' and, for people who don't identify themselves as male or female, 'They them theirs' - 'We encourage you to ask before assuming someone's gender' a sign reads - Buttons are part of the 'You Belong Here' marketing effort to lure undergrads - Libraries have reordered them at least once Poor Cousin to "almost twice." to keep up with demand" Lemme see here. For about $5.00 per button, maybe 1,000 buttons purchased. Let's say the purchased buttons are twice as "neat" to look at as those linked. So, for an initial investment of, say, $15,000 (includes artwork, public entity surcharge, processing, stupid slogan fee, etc.), somebody could create a high-school targeted marketing gimmick eventually picked up by International Press. Not a bad publicity ROI for someone so inclined and "lucky." |

| #7 'We encourage you to ask before assuming someone's gender' How about "Can you pick up that beer bottle with your naughty bits?" (Saw it done once in Europe, so the question is legit.). |

| #5 Maybe they should just put a question mark on all the buttons as those people seem to be very confused. |

| #1 Evidence that even universities need a full shut down, and cold restart, followed by re-installation of the original back up of the operating system. |
