Hi I was wondering what folk’s here liked most in terms of neopronouns for first, second and third person.

If you don’t know what that means:

  • First are things like I/me

  • Second are things like you and y’all

  • Third are things like they, she and he

    Lois McMaster Bujold, writing science fiction in 1986 about a genetically engineered hermaphrodite used it/its for pronouns (when not using she or he)

    I remember reading a goodreads answer later that she would have used they/them if it had been in common enough usage that she had encountered it.

    (though in my mind '86 is relatively recent, but maybe I’m just old)
