Traditionally, the word ''den'' has been used as a gender neutral pronoun and remains widely used today. However, depending on the context, the word ''den'' can also mean ''it'' leaving it unsatisfactory as a gender neutral pronoun for many who do not wish to be seen as comparable to an inanimate object. Since the 1960s, the person pronoun ''hen'' has become increasingly popular and will, in 2015, be added for the first time to ''Svenska Akademiens Ordlista'' (the Swedish equivalent to France's ''Dictionnaire de l'Académie française''). | Traditionally, the word ''den'' has been used as a gender neutral pronoun and remains widely used today.

In 2024, the official Swedish gender-neutral pronoun is hen/hen/hens. The Swedish common-inanimate pronoun den/den/dens (equivalent to it/it/its) is also used for gender-neutral language and by some [[nonbinary]] people, as well as the non-standard anglicized practice of singular de/dem/deras (they/them/their). Some [[nonbinary]] people have also opted for [[neopronouns|neopronoun]] such as hin/hin/hins, which is in actuality an obsolete pronoun that means something alike “that one”, but is in modern times pretty much only used in the set phrase “hin håle” (the hard one, the devil). | In 2024, the official Swedish gender-neutral pronoun is hen/hen/hens.
