(AP Photo/Gerry Broome, File) At Pittsburgh’s Point Park University, they’re serious about speech. And one student’s been framed as Pronoun Enemy #1.
As I covered last week, the roughly 4,000-attendee school announced stringent rules related to language.
The “Misgendering, Pronoun Misuse, and Deadnaming” section of a recent dictate reads thusly : Any individual who has been informed of another person’s gender identity, pronouns, or chosen name is expected to respect that individual. Point Park University fosters a community of inclusivity for every member at the institution. Misgendering, continued misuse of an individual’s pronouns, or using an individual’s deadname after being informed of a chosen name could result in a violation of the Policy on Discrimination and Harassment for gender-based discrimination. It’s an odd choice — the missive outlaws things not only said to someone, but about them.
After all, biology-based pronouns are used in third person.
At Point Park, a misstep — no matter the intention — may result in “action”: While the University recognizes the aspect of intent versus impact, we must recognize that regardless of the intent, if an individual is impacted in a harmful way, action could be taken if a complaint is filed. … Using language that assumes another person’s gender or pronouns or generalizing an entire group can be harmful and cause trans and gender non-conforming folks to feel isolated, even if you don’t mean to. Given the guidelines, Campus Reform correspondent Logan Dubil — who’s a student at Point Park — broke the story .
Additionally, he was quoted by Fox News : “Personally, I believe in the science. There are two sexes and two genders: male and female. The policies in question force me to go against my beliefs. The fact that I can be disciplined by failing to follow policies that violate my conscience is concerning.” Logan even appeared on The Ingraham Angle: He told Laura Ingraham it’s unclear how pronoun defiers might be disciplined.
But for some in support of the new rules, Logan’s become intolerable.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
