<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>* A blog post by the Merriam Webster dictionary editors says, &quot;In the 17th century, English laws concerning inheritance sometimes referred to people who didn’t fit a gender binary using the pronoun &#039;&#039;it&#039;&#039;, which, while dehumanizing, was conceived of as being the most grammatically fit answer to gendered pronouns around then.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;“Words We’re Watching: Singular &#039;They:&#039; Though singular &#039;they&#039; is old, &#039;they&#039; as a nonbinary pronoun is new—and useful.” &#039;&#039;Merriam Webster.&#039;&#039; https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/singular-nonbinary-they Captured November 2017.&lt;/ref&gt; This is an example of people being considered legally outside of male and female. &#039;&#039;Editors at this wiki would appreciate more information and sources about the laws in question, their dates, and what categories of people they referred to. (Unborn children? Intersex people? People who didn&#039;t conform to gender norms?)&#039;&#039;</div>
