Pick a Pronoun For Your Nametag Please

What are my pronoun options? The conference goer asked He, she, it, they – anything you want – make one up even - the friendly greeter declared! The conference goer asked the greeter if 'he' should really be an option as a pronoun choice You know, with the issue of the generic 'he' that we all suffer The greeter was confused and stunned with what was thought to be backlash from the conference goer A security guard was called and the goer tried to explain the rationale for the statement You know, that we hear and use 'he' so much that it actually impacts equality in our society The security guard would hear none of it This conference is over for you - the security guard shouted! He or she or they handcuffed the goer and put he or she or they -- or you can make one up In the squad car
