A private Southern California women\u2019s college now offers students eight different gender pronoun options from which to select, expecting professors and others on campus to use the choices.<\/p>\n

The Claremont-based Scripps College, nicknamed \u201cThe Women\u2019s College,\u201d offers the gender pronoun options to students through its online student portal accounts. Students use a drop-down menu to select their preference from ten choices \u2013 eight of which are various gender pronoun sets such as \u201cHu, Hum, Hus,\u201d \u201cPer, Pers, Perself\u201d and \u201cZe, Zir, Zir.\u201d The other two are \u201cnone\u201d and \u201cjust my name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once students select their preference, a note of it appears on class rosters and other documents informing professors and others.<\/p>\n

Though an all-female institution, the drop-down list does not default to the \u201cShe, Her, Hers, Herself\u201d option, but instead, \u201cSelect Pronoun.\u201d In fact, the choices are listed in alphabetical order, which places the traditional \u201cshe\/hers\u201d choice as the seventh possibility.<\/p>\n

The list of options, along with phonetic pronunciations for the less frequently used choices, was provided to The College Fix<\/em> by a campus official:<\/p>\n

    1. E\/Ey, Em, Eir\/Eirs, Eirself\/Emself (A, M, ear, ears, earself)
\n    2. He, Him, His, Himself
\n    3. Hu, Hum, Hus, Humself (hue like HUman,\/hue-m like HUMan, hue-s, hue-mself)
\n    4. Just My Name Please
\n    5. None
\n    6. Per, Per, Per\/Pers, Perself (per\/purr, pers, perself)
\n    7. She, Her, hers, Herself
\n    8. They, Them, Their\/Theirs, Themse
\n    9. Ze, Hir, Hir\/Hirs, Hirself (zee, hear, hears, hearself)
\n    10. Ze, Zir, Zir\/Zirs, Zirself (zee, zeer, zeers, zeerself)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
