Columbia University released a video stating that "intentionally misgendering someone" is against the Ivy League university's nondiscrimination policy, which could lead to an employee being dismissed.
The video, titled "Why Pronouns Matter," was uploaded to Columbia University's official YouTube account and explained how "using correct pronouns is a way to respect those around you."
"Intentionally misgendering someone by refusing to use the correct pronouns or name is a violation of the Columbia University nondiscrimination policy," the video stated. "Words matter. Even unintentional errors can create challenges."

The video also explained that some people were using different pronouns than "she/her" and "he/him," including "they/them," "xe/xem," "ze/hir," "per/pers" and "ey/em."
Additionally, the video explained how someone may use multiple pronouns.
"if someone's pronouns are 'she/they,' that's just a quicker way to indicate that a person uses she, her, hers and they, them, theirs pronouns," the video stated.
And remember, this is the school which produces most of the so called "journalists" in the US.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
