== Hebrew Neutral Pronouns == | |||
Hebrew has masculine/feminine gender distinction in both singular and plural second- and third-person pronouns, so there's no option for a genderless third-person plural pronoun (like in English) or second-person pronoun (like in Arabic). For this reason: | |||
'''הֵם''' ''hem,'' traditionally the masculine third-person plural pronoun, is used as a singular third-person pronoun by many nonbinary Hebrew speakers. | |||
The choice of this pronoun may be due to the somewhat neutral nature of the third-person plural masculine, which is used with mixed-gender groups. Some may choose the third-person plural because it is closest to the English ''they''.<ref>Bryant, A. (2021).
