Harris campaign job seekers have 9 different pronoun options: ‘More pronouns than policy’
Vice President Kamala Harris’ website allows job seekers to choose from among nine different pronoun options when applying for a position on her campaign — leading some social media users to blast the Democrat for having “more pronouns than policies.”
Applicants can select from the more mainstream “he/him,” “she/her” and “they/them” pronouns or choose less conventional gender-neutral options, including “xe/xem,” “ze/hir,” “ey/em,” and “hir/hir.”
“Hu/hu,” which indicates that a person wants to emphasize their humanity over their gender, and “Fae/faer,” which denotes that a person is fluid between multiple genders but not masculine genders, are also presented as options.
Potential hires can also write in “custom” pronouns or choose to go by “name only,” when filling out an application on the Harris campaign job portal.
Job seekers are also asked how they would “contribute to building a diverse culture” and are given the option of completing a diversity survey at the end of the application which asks, “Do you identify as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community?” among other questions.
The long list of pronoun options puzzled numerous social media users, with many indicating that they had never heard of most of them.
Some also pointed out that the list is longer than the policy section on the Harris campaign website.
“Kamala Harris has more pronouns (9) than policies (0) on her website,” one wrote, while another seethed, “#KamalaHarris cares more about her PRONOUNS than our economy or southern border.”
Harris, 59, has long pushed for Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and so-called “woke” social-justice-oriented initiatives throughout her political career, which has sparked concern from some conservatives that she will pursue those sorts of domestic policies as president.
“We have to stay woke. Like, everybody needs to be woke,” Harris urged during a 2017 conference.
In the clip, which has recently gone viral, Harris adds, “And you can talk about if you’re the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke.”
Former President Donald Trump, 78, has branded her as a “radical California liberal” since her entrance into the race after President Biden, 81, ended his re-election bid last month.
