Bahahaha!

Henceforth I wish to be addressed as Mi Amore OldDog The Enormous.

Or simply " "
Eh, I clicked through and read the actual thing put out by the university, and I don't see the big deal. Ask people what they want to be called and then call them that. Big deal. I had a boss who HATED being called "Jon" as his name was Jonathan. Like, he'd stop and correct you. So, we called him Jonathan.

"They" was used to describe someone in third person singular by Chaucer. That's hardly a new innovation.
