CNN may finally have reached peak CNN. A Saturday article for cnn.com by Scottie Andrew now seeks to turn words like “leaf,” “sun,” and “star” into pronouns. Under a subheadline “An intro to nounself neoprouns”, Andrewwrites, “Leaf, sun, star — nounself pronouns are neopronouns that use nature and other inspirations as nonbinary or genderless descriptors. ‘People like to have a say in how they’re identified,” Baron said. “Refusing to let people self-identify is a way of excluding them.’”No, refusing to identify a human being as a leaf is not “a way of excluding them.” That is simply incorrect.
