Gender neutral pronouns list to stay up to date in 2024
Upon first meeting someone, most people agree it’s best not to outright ask for pronouns because someone may feel like you’re assuming their gender identity. In some cases, it may put someone in a situation where they have to out themselves but don’t want to or aren’t ready to.

Instead, introduce yourself with your pronouns: "Hi, I'm Caroline, and my pronouns are she/her." With this, you're allowing the other person to share theirs, but not forcing them to

People might use multiple pronouns, like she/they or they/hirs. If someone shares that with you, they might also say they’re more comfortable with one over the other, or they’d like you to vary the pronouns you use in conversation.


They/them/theirs
Ze/hir/hirs
Xe/xem/xyrs
Ver/vir/vis
Te/tem/ter
E/em/eirs

Examples - Ze/hir/hirs
Where did ze go?”
“This pencil belongs to hir.”
“Ze would rather do it hirself.

Examples -Xe/xem/xyrs

“I think xe is nice.”
“Tell xem I say hello.”
“That sandwich is xirs.”

Example - Ver/vir/vis
“I think ver is nice.”
“I borrowed vis pencil.”
“I went to the store with vir

Example -Te/tem/ter
Te went to the store.”
“I borrowed it from tem.”
“That’s ter dog.”

Example - Ey/em/eir
Ey wrote me a note.”
“That belongs to em.”
“I asked to borrow eir pencil

Hermaphrodites exist in nature.

As far as I'm aware there has not existed a true human hermaphrodite, i.e a person with both male and female reproductive organs who can impregnate a woman and also give birth.

That said, there has existed throughout human history people who have reproductive organs of one gender but also have some some bits of the other gender at birth. They used to be called hermaphrodites but this isn't an accurate term for the reasons mentioned above, therefore intersex is the more accurate term. Traditionally, surgery at birth has been carried out to remove these bits and enforce the predominant gender but studies have shown that this causes psychological problems in adulthood.

So there does exist in nature humans who have been born with intersex traits. It is rare, but more common than being born a red head.
I mean... this doesn't make it a new sex it just mean you're both sexes to some degree, but you get the point, sex and hormones is a complicated matter that we may not still grasp fully.
True. It makes classification harder, like being asked whether you have a red bike or a blue bike, but your bike is blue with red stripes.

i think the point being made is that, sex is more complex than a simple binary, that there are many facets to it

There are 2 genders, a few extremely rare genetic defects, and dozens of self-diagnosed mental illnesses.

I think people are trying to obfuscate from the reality by cherry picking extremely rare mutations and then attempting to inflate the relevance of that in order to meet a worldview. The vast majority of people claiming to be transgender were born 100% anatomically male or female. So trying to use extremely rare mutations to prop that up is just disingenuous. Much of it is just a kink, some of it is mental illness, and all of what you see and hear about it is politically driven by activist groups looking to pit people against each other and promise to solve all their problems with votes and donations. If you don't think that's true, just look at how that same community, those same activists claiming they want inclusion treat the ones to detransition like garbage.

your entire view on the subject was shown to be wrong from the get-go, but whatever

because obviously, science is about asserting something and neglecting things that challenge it until you can't /s

That's also harmfull to intersex peoples to bring them in this, they never asked for this, i'm sure at least many would prefer to not have to deal with this bs. And if transgerderism is truly a kink there should also be no problem to admit it to some degree too i'd say, it's weird either way to the average person anyways.

okay but why can't you just ask, or at least see what the other person tells you

Really not interested listening to bubbles. A person has beard and boobs is mentally challenged.

A class of gender that's neither male nor female.

Or class of people who are living in extreme delusion.

Human history for 99.99% years never believed there are more 2 genders

But here we are in 2024, Coming up with bunch of nonsense crap like 100 genders, Pronoun wars, Men can be pregnant, Men can become woman or vice versa.

What a load of crap time to alive lol

I solved it for you, you are stuck in middle ages
Am I stuck in the Middle Ages or are you just in denial?
Is it so hard to say them, they, theirs?

Hell, I seen people using the pronouns "he" and "she" for inanimate objects so maybe it is hard for the majority of people to say them, they, theirs.
