Just tell them gender is a social construct, not a part of the hard sciences. They're better off asking the English, Social Studies, or Arts teacher. Soft sciences and arts got themselves into this mess with their lenses and identity and PoMo shit. They can get themselves out.

Ha! That's what I said in fact. Gender is a social construct, and more the domain of sociology, not science, so in this course I will only be talking about biological sex. Ahem. Moving on...

The young teachers wearing pronoun pins at my site are a math and English teacher. Best of luck to 'em!
