People applying for jobs and internships on the Kamala Harris presidential campaign have plenty of options to share their preferred pronouns on their applications.
Eleven, to be exact.
When the campaign lists jobs, it asks applicants for various forms of information like their names, email addresses, resumes, cover letters, and preferred pronouns.
However, instead of merely offering he/him for male and she/her for female, these web pages provide nearly a dozen options.
These 11 options include: He/him, She/her, They/them, Xe/xem, Ze/hir, Ey/em, Hir/hir, Fae/faer, Hu/hu, Use name only, and Custom. Most of the lesser-known pronoun options are neopronouns — most commonly used by people who identify as something other than male or female.
Vice President Harris is no stranger to publicly announcing her pronouns.
The VP announced them at the start of an event commemorating the Americans with Disabilities Act at the White House in July 2022.
“Good afternoon,” Harris said, according to WhiteHouse.gov. “I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris. My pronouns are ‘she’ and ‘her.’ I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”
Harris also includes her preferred pronouns “she/her” in her X (Twitter) bio.
Plus, Facebook also lists Harris as a “she/her.”
The long list of pronoun options for Harris campaign job applications has garnered mockery on social media.
American Principles president Terry Schilling quipped on X (Twitter) that “Kamala Harris has more pronouns on her website than policy positions.”
An X (Twitter) user named JacobBaker613 wrote, “This is what happens when we DEI hire cause now you have a weirdo making this website!”
Meanwhile, Daily Signal columnist Tonny Kinnett remarked on X (Twitter), “Where is Hoi/Yeah?”
And Richard Hanania, president of the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, noted that he doesn’t think the vice presidential candidate would even know about these obscure neopronouns.
“I would love to see someone ask Tim Walz to explain the difference between ze/hir and hir/hir,” Hanania posted on X (Twitter).
Conversely, the presidential campaign of former President Donald Trump does not ask people for their preferred pronouns when applying to work for the campaign, according to the campaign web site.
