#xenopronouns
Today I learnt, completely on accident, of the word ve(/vi/, possessive vis, objective vim), a separate English pronoun equivalent to singular they, first proposed by feminists in 1864 and used in a number of novels published throughout the 20th century (x)
THIS why I say they are “gender neutral pronouns”, “neutral pronouns”, “nonbinary pronouns”, or even “xenopronouns”.
Theyaren’t “neopronouns”. There’s nothing “new” about them and something that’s built to last shouldn’t be defined by its “newness” anyway.
