neopronouns USA
A personal pronoun is a form of speech that stands in for a person or group of people.
She is having opinions online; they are fighting in the comments; and, of course, as in the Prince song made famous by Sinead O’Connor, “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
Nonbinary pronouns, as well — often the singular “they” and “them” — have become widespread.
A 2019 Pew Research study found already that one in five Americans knew someone who uses nonbinary pronouns.
And then there are neopronouns.
A neopronoun can be a word created to serve as pronoun without expressing gender, like “ze” and “zir.”
A neopronoun can also be a so-called “noun-self pronoun,” in which a pre-existing word is drafted into use as a pronoun.
Noun-self pronouns can refer to animals — so your pronouns can be “bun/bunself” and “kitten/kittenself.”
Others refer to fantasy characters — “vamp/vampself,” “prin/cess/princesself,” “fae/faer/faeself” — or even just common slang, like “Innit/Innits/Innitself.”
