Pronoun
Pronouns are a handy way of knowing what gender people are on the internet. In real life they can also be used to confuse people and irritate bureaucrats who find themselves having to remember a myriad of weird letters and acronyms that are only tangibly connected to gender and/or sex and certainly nothing to do with the traditional male/female/hermaphrodite gender roles. Some people think they should not be used.[1]
Origins[edit | edit source]
In the beginning, GOD existed, and there was only one pronoun. This was LORD/GOD. GOD saw the pronoun, and it was good. GOD was bored, and so GOD created the Earth and the heavens and filled them with annoying assholes. He sat down to rest on Sunday, pleased with his work.
But everywhere, all animals and plants were calling each other GOD, and GOD was not pleased. GOD arose from his rest and commanded, "there shalt be four pronouns, and these shall be thou/thee, ye/yo, grut/crak and GOD/LORD. Thou shalt only use GOD/LORD for your GOD.
And so it was. Each called thine brethren according to their pronouns, and GOD as GOD, so GOD was pleased with the harmony.
Adam and Eve[edit | edit source]
But according to GODs design, Adam and Eve were angry. They did not want to be called the same pronouns as the animals and plants. However GOD forbade them from using GODs holy pronoun.
Adam decided his pronoun would be he/him. Eve wanted her own pronoun, and decided on she/her.
GOD was meh about these new pronuns, and so they were.
The lethargy[edit | edit source]
Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden tree, and made many childrens. These childrens made many childrens, and these childrens childrens were lazy.
They did not care for the pronouns of animals and plants, and called them all "it".
They did not care for GODs pronouns either, and called him after their fathers.
GOD was busy playing with his Martians, and ignored the assholes on Earth. Meh, said GOD, they will get over this phase of laziness.
The Devil[edit | edit source]
GOD was so busy playing with his Martians, that he didn't notice Satan blip past in a starship and land on Earth.
Satan was cunning, and saw the assholes of Earth were gullible. Said Satan:
"Lo, there are many Genders, and on the spectrum of genders there are many pronouns."
The people saw that Satan told the Truth, and so it was that there were many genders and many pronouns.
