Admittedly, I enjoy english class. I always have enjoyed english class, even when my teacher/professor wasnât the best. I like to write (unless its an annoying topic) and I love reading. I love english class because itâs never set in stone. In an english class you can learn about grammar, how to perfect your writing, current events, etc. Iâve always felt most comfortable in english classes compared to other classes because itâs a class I always do well in. I especially love when topics come up in english class that allow group conversations and opinions and debates. It wasnât until this year that an english class has ever made me feel uneasy. We were talking about how language changes and how we speak and write changes throughout time, and i was like heck yeah it does!..but then..
It all started when my english teacher said something to the effect of âyou can't use they in a singular sentenceâ
Example: A student should bring *their* own notebook and pencils to class.Â
My English teacher said that was wrong. He said the sentence should have a specific pronoun because it is a singular sentence.
Example: A student should bring her own notebook and pencils to class.Â
 So i raise my hand and Iâm like, âWell what is someone uses they as a pronoun?â And heâs like..âyeah, see, thats the problem now-a-days. People want to use they as a pronoun so it kind of messes the sentence meaning up.â He goes on to say how he's fine with âTRANSSEXUALSâ (eye roll) but using they in a singular sentence, pronoun or not, is incorrect in grammatical language.Â
And itâs like a balloon is quickly deflating in my mind because didn't this man just say the English language is always changing?? Did we not just discuss how itâs a beautiful thing how language adapts to our world today as we carry on through life? Oh but let me not forget the best part. My english teachers little lesson has now fueled they large testosterone filled heads of the group of boys that sit in the middle of my class.Â
Laughing they say, âthey as a pronoun?? what??? ahahahahâÂ
(random but) We were talking about about something in class and sharing our thoughts on different things and i cant even remember what the conversation was about and then another boy shouts out,Â
âlike how when you just touch some girls, they cry rape??âÂ
My head shot up and i had to give everything in me not to say âDO YOU HEAR WHAT YOU JUST SAID???âÂ
In another class my english teacher is talking about something and says the words ânon-consensual sexâ Again, I am left speechless. There is no such thing as non-consensual sex. Sex is consensual. Anything else is rape.
I digress.Â
Then today another similar topic flares up about using the word âZeâ in replace of âhe/sheâ and adapting it to the English language. Usually, Iâd be happy, because I love topics like this. Yes. Give the people what they want. Yes. Make this world a batter place. And then I remember that Iâm sitting in THIS english class, with these people and I get nervous. Uproar from the boys in the middle of the class once again.Â
One calls out, âWHO WOULD GET OFFENDED BY BEING CALLED HE OR SHE?!!â
I can't help it. i can't hold it in.
I say back in a voice almost as loud as his, âA person who doesn't identify as he or she???â He gives me a blank stare back. I follow up by saying, âobviously youâre not worried about it because you don't care/donât know how it feels.â
My english teacher defends me (wow thanks for once) and says âNow thatâs true. None of us know what its like.â Again Iâm like lmfao hold on. Who says that everyone in this class identifies as he/she??????? I can't.Â
I mumble âdumbassesâ under my breathe as the clock strikes 8:58am and we are dismissed.Â
They make me feel so uneasy. I don't understand how you don't get that people aren't all the same. Not everyone is a cis, straight, white boy who has not one care in the world. People are different sexualities. People don't have to have their sexuality all figured out. There are not just two genders. The world is not just he/she, gay/straight. It just leaves me to wonder why these people feel so comfortable voicing they hateful speech? Donald trump? or was it just my english teacher opening the door for them? I don't know. But i hate it.Â
The worst part is no one else in my class says anything. Are they too afraid to speak out? Do they not care? Is it too early in the morning to argue in their opinion? Or do they just actually agree with all of these shit opinions coming from these shitty boys? Iâll never know, unless one of these days someone finally joins me. Iâm also pretty sure that half the class takes me for a super feminist, probably lesbian/or something weirdo. Which i could really care less about.Â
I have always been such a nice person, quiet most of the time, a good student. However, something I can say for sure about me is that when something upsets me or I know something is really wrong, I always speak up. Ask my boyfriend. He always has to tell me to calm down or to be quiet because I always stand up for him/us, even when it could probably get me into a literal fight. I don't care. Iâm so tired of all of these bigoted ass people. So tired of being surrounded by them. Sometimes I don't even know that theyâre like this and it bothers me so much. (Yes iâm talking to you, girl who sits behind me and laughed at what the boys said. thought you were cool, i was wrong.)Â
Well i guess ill stop ranting now because my hour break in-between classes is almost over. Excuse any typos or anything because i don't have time to read this again before i post it.
rant over.Â
