The Pronoun Police at Your Door

Okay, so friends I need to begin learning English all over again. This is really going to make teaching English as a second language a bit more difficult. And this is only the beginning of course. You certainly can expect someone to be offended that Ze and Zer, Xie and Hir, doesn't cover them. They will need another set. I mean can't you see genders proliferating to the point that there will be hundreds if not thousands of new pronouns to learn. And not only that but then one has to decline them. Use the proper pronoun for the proper function in the sentence. My brain dizzies at the thought! And what happens when a German with a German accent refers to an orthodox gender as "Ze" just because of his accent when he really was referring to a "He"? Could he be imprisoned? Could he be taken to the pronoun reeducation center? Will he or ze or xie or countless others unnamed presently have to have mind comforming conditioning? I imagine all the books will have to be rewritten as well because do we really know whether Oliver Twist was a boy or something else, or Jane Eyre perhaps wasn't a girl? And since the authors are no longer alive we will have to cover all the bases and include the unabridged politically correct gender diverse editions of all the famous classics. Won't they be great reading after the pronoun police have confiscated them and had them revised. Can't wait to read them.
