Johns Hopkins medical staff are given guide with FIFTY new pronouns they can use on their ID badges, including 'aerself' and 'faerself'


Johns Hopkins medical staff in Maryland have been given a guide featuring 50 pronoun options to use while at the workplace.

The pronoun guide details the dozens of gender-neutral pronouns medical staff can use while dealing with patients and other employees, including 'aerself' and 'faerself.'

Other gender-neutral pronouns featured on the list are:  xemself, perself, eirself and verself.

The list, seen by DailyMail.com, features examples of how to use the pronouns in a sentence, such as 'Ae cleaned the office all by aerself,' and 'I gave faer the key.'

It also lists 'Mx.' as a gender-neutral title that can be used for 'non-binary or gender-diverse people.'

'Always ask the person which they use if possible,' instructs the list by John Hopkin's Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity.

The pronoun 'Ze' is pronounced 'zee' can also be spelled zie or xe. It is meant to replace she/he/they. 'Hir,' on its part, is pronounced like 'here' and replaces her/hers/him/his/they/theirs.

Moreover, the Per/per/pers pronoun is supposed to be a shortened version of 'person.'

The guide is part of a John Hopkins policy that went into effect in March 2022 allowing staff to use a chosen name that fits their gender identity on their ID badges.

The policy also allows patients to use a chosen name on their wristbands.

Paula Neira, Johns Hopkins Medicine’s program director for LGBTQ+ Equity and Education, said there are two exceptions to the policy - those licensed in Washington D.C. must have badges that match the name on their employee's certification.

Additionally, Maryland State Police requires public safety officers to carry identification that matches their legal names.

Neira, a transgender military veteran, previously served as the clinical program director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Transgender and Gender Expansive Health.

She was the first first transgender Navy veteran allowed to update her discharge documents with her new name, as reported by Fox News Digital.

A Johns Hopkins Medicine spokesperson told DailyMail.com on Tuesday the institution is 'committed to fostering a supportive, diverse and inclusive community.'

'As part of this focus and in compliance with Federal and state regulations, we enable our faculty, staff and employees to choose the way their names are displayed on their identification badges,' the statement reads.

'There are many reasons individuals may choose how they are identified, for example, some people may prefer to use a middle name, have cultural distinctions or preferences, or have gender ambiguous names. JHM will continue to provide options to our community to ensure a respectful and inclusive environment.'

Pronouns are becoming irrelevant because:
1) Everyone can claim their own
2) They can change on a whim depending on your feelings
3) They still don't include "Angel Drone of Death" which is what I want to be called.

Just use people's names and declare ANY pronoun use as cause for termination....

Angel Drone Of Death Stan B,

Good ideas except for the simple fact the REAL purpose of creating a multitude of new "pronouns" was to be able to be offended when someone FAILS to use them.

And since it seems anyone can declare new ones I have indulged your whim.

Committed to fostering a supportive, diverse and inclusive community of absurd nonsense, to support those who are hurt and offended by how things actually are.
