Pronouns And Terms

Pronouns
Pronouns are words that can be used in the place of nouns. They are not synonymous with gender, though some are associated with specific genders (e.g. "she/her" is typically associated with femininity although not everyone who uses she/her pronouns is female). Pronouns can be an important part of gender identity, so before you assume someone's pronouns, check with them which ones they are comfortable with. If there is no way for you to check, use they/them pronouns as they are gender-neutral.

He/him pronouns
He/him pronouns are tradionally used by men or masculine-aligned people, though this is not always the case.

She/her pronouns
She/her pronouns are tradionally used by women or feminine-aligned people, though this is not always the case.

They/them pronouns
They/them pronouns are gender neutral pronouns that can be used for anyone regardless of their gender, and are often used by non-binary people.

It/its pronouns
It/its pronouns are tradionally used for animals or objects, and although many people use them as pronouns it is important to ask for permission first as they can be seen as dehumanizing.

Neopronouns

 * See also: neopronouns.

Neopronouns are any set of gender-neutral "new" pronouns not officially recognised by the language.

Nounself pronouns
Nounself pronouns are a type of neopronouns closely related to a pre-existing word, e.g. "bun/bun/buns/buns/bunself", a set of pronouns derived from the word "bunny".

Emojiself pronouns
Emojiself pronouns are similar to nounself pronouns, but instead of using a noun they will use an emoji. They usually follow the same grammatical formula of 💫/💫/💫s/💫s/💫self. They are not intended to be pronounced, and are typically used in online communication.

Terms
