Did You See the (at least) TWENTY-SEVEN #NeoPronouns (3 Senses of 9 'Zenders' ... or vice-versa ... or more ... of #PreferredPronouns) - A New Degree of #Neuter! @ACONhealth @LGBTQnation @TheBabylonBee @slashFilm

We'll get into it below. But first, |that word| seems important; so I found out a little more about |that word| and share my findings with you below---maybe I'll add some notes beneath (and/or you might start/continue the discussion in the comments).

... and I have to mention that a lot of help (a share of revenue, extra topics from magazines & advertising, etc.) comes from WowApp: Using the Wowism Community's Fairness to Prevail over Economic Greed

The word |Neuter| sits at the peak of the high tower above ancient words that mean "Either (of Two ... see Whether)," with the prefix from the proto-word *ne- "Not" (so "Neither (of Two)---also evolving to mean "|Castration (becoming 'Neither Gender')."
just like #Neuters #Neutered #Neutering #Neutrino #Neutrinos

To Keep Up on My 'Research,'


We all know the gendered pronouns: one sense for males (tenses he, him & his), one for females (she, her & hers). And we all know the plural pronouns They, Them & Theirs; which until recently doubled as 'the gender-neutral pronouns;

But now we've got the Neo-Pronouns ... (as they are "Preferred Pronouns," I can't really say for sure 'this kind always works for this type of person, and that kind always ... etc.' The 'rules' I'm putting here (so-far just 'my guesses at how it works') are mostly for "when you're talking about the individuals and they haven't said (at least not within your hearing) what their preferred pronouns are.")
  • Ze, Hir, Hirs (pronounced "zhee, here, heres")
    • when referring to someone who transitioned 'male' (as 'Hir' is an obsolete form of 'Her')
  • Ze, Zir, Zirs (pronounced "zhee, zhere, zheres")
    • when referring to someone who transition 'female'
  • Xe, Xem, Xyrs (pronounced "Zhee, Zhem, Zheres" ... although I've always pronounced 'words that start with "X"' (other than "Xavier") with a "Ks-"---making it "Ksee, Ksem, Kseers)
    • Text.Cortex's Zeno says 'These pronouns are similar to ze/zir and are often used by people who identify as genderqueer or non-binary. Xe is used in place of he or she, while xem is used in place of him or her. Xyr is used in place of his or hers. For example, instead of saying "She went to the store," you would say "Xe went to the store."'
    LGBTQ NATION also mentioned ...
  • ey/em/eirs
  • fae/faer/faers
  • e/em/ems
  • ve/vir/vis
  • ne/nem/nir
  • per/per/pers
    ... which they/we/I 😏 might associate with various levels on the "non-binary" spectrum (GenderQueer, Agender, Genderfluid, and transgendering from 'any of those' to 'any of them'
    And a bunch of pronouns (some of which I just used) that nobody's talking about
  • the personal pronouns I/Me/Mine, We/Us/Ours
  • the 'non-sentient' pronouns It/It/Its, etc....
In the end, it's just "how they/you feel like being-addressed/addressing-them"---sort of the way Patrick Stewart might feel like more of a "Gurney Halleck" than a "Captain Picard."

I asked Text.Cortex's Zeno about Neo-Pronouns (really, I asked it to write 'a whole blog-post about them'😏), and--after only describing two of the 'zenders' (or 'xenders' if you like ... words I'm sort-of 'coining' (or 'koining' or 'xoining'👷) for the "preferred pronoun"-genders)--it noted, 'It's important to note that while these neo-pronouns may seem new or different, they are not a recent invention. 

'In fact, gender-neutral pronouns have been used for centuries in various cultures and languages around the world. Using someone's preferred pronouns is an important way to show respect for their gender identity. If you're unsure what pronouns someone prefers, it's always best to ask. By doing so, you can help create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.'
