Neopronouns

 

Hey charlie !!

We’re in June which means it’s pride month!! For this, here’s an article on neopronouns.

What are neopronous ?

So, neopronouns are "new" (neo) pronouns that are gender neutral. The first known set of neopronouns created are thon/thons by Charles Crozat Conserve in 1858.

 

Why would people use them when we already have she/her, he/him and they/them pronouns ?

The original puropose is for neurodivergent people who don’t always understand gender the same way neurotypical people do so they create or identify with xenogenders (= an umbrella term for gender identities which can’t be described with concepts typically used to describe gender such as masculinity, femininity, androgyny etc.). And usually neopronouns are associate with xenogenders. It can also be used by someone who just doesn’t identify with any of the three "typical" pronouns and you have to feel comfortable with your pronouns so they use them. Also, everyone, cis or not, can use neopronouns !!

 

How do you use neopronouns ?

Some people may find them hard to use but after all, they are just pronouns like any others !! For example, here’s a grid with some neopronouns with pronouns you know for reference.

I originally decided to make this article because on the internet I see a lot of people making fun of neopronouns which doesn’t make any sense why would you make fun of someone using pronouns that make them feel comfortable, it’s really dumb. Most neopronouns users are aware that these won’t be used for them at school for example or something like that, no need to tell them but it costs you nothing to use them and make someone happy !! So now, if you see someone with pronouns that aren’t “typical” maybe you’ll remember this article.

Here was my article ! Hope it was clear, if you have any questions feel free, I’ll answer them. See you soon Charlie <3
