There are many gender-neutral or gender-other pronoun sets available to authors to use in situations where they wish to express something with a pronoun but do not wish to convey or suggest a gender. In these cases it may be handy to refer to this chart to help you navigate the wild waters of gender-neutrality or non-specificity:
Std (He) | Std (She) | Std (It) | Spivak (old) | Spivak (new) | Ze & zir | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nominative | He sporked. | She sporked. | It sporked. | E sporked. | Ey sporked. | Ze sporked. |
Oblique | I poked him. | I poked her. | I poked it. | I poked em. | I poked em. | I poked zir/zem. |
Possessive determiner | His egg rocks. | Her egg rocks. | Its egg rocks. | Eir egg rocks. | Eir egg rocks. | Zir/Zes egg rocks. |
Reflexive | He likes himself. | She likes herself. | It likes itself. | E likes eirself. | Ey likes emself. | Ze likes zirself. |
