Wouldn't, say, a transboy want to be called he? And a transgirl she? Who wants to be xe?

I think that's for those "non-gendered" or "double gendered" people who believe that they're two genders simultaneously, which is tumblretarded and smacks of attention seeking. I assume the trans students are just going to be the sex they identify as.

I know... blah blah gender is a construct but this whole "xe" and "xem" thing just feels like boring people who aren't transsexual or even gay/bi wanting to be included in this "new transsexual/transgender thing".

I think some Native American groyps have a third gender, in which case this wouldn't necessarily be attention seeking, seeing as it's a normal part of their traditional culture. I think some other cultures have a similar "third gender". I'm not sure they would use the pronouns xe/xem though.

For them it wouldn't be, but we're not talking about them. We're talking about Canadians and also incredibly white people on tumblr.
