    Does anyone have any feelings on a popularity threshold for these? The list is short so it's not a huge deal, but on the old wiki we required evidence that words were used by more than a small handful of people in order to list them, especially on the pronouns pages. Maybe it's something to discuss in case the title list here gets much longer? --'''[[User:Cassolotl|<span style="color:#008000">Cassolotl</span>]]''' ''<small>([[User_Talk:Cassolotl|talk]]) <span style="color:#808080">pronouns: they/them</span></small>'' 14:02, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

    Citizen is usually pronounced "sit uh zuhn".
    "Zen" already has a definition but "zun" or even "zin" are more open.
    I would much appreciate being referred to as "Zin Smith".  It has a formal and pleasant sound to it but some people have shortened Zinfadel wines to Zins (that meaning is collapsed among very few wine drinker and can be pushed back against).  I could easily get used to hearing "Zun Smith" or just "Zun" when being greeted.  It could be a neutral verion "hun" and still derive from citizen.

    Tidying up post-transfer

    Yay, I'm glad this page made it over from the old nonbinary wiki! :) I'm gonna go through and add up-to-date info from the Nonbinary Stats 2017 survey for how much each of these are used.

    Where did "Tiz" derive from and why isn't it "Zen"

    Citizen is usually pronounced "sit uh zuhn". "Zen" already has a definition but "zun" or even "zin" are more open. I would much appreciate being referred to as "Zin Smith". It has a formal and pleasant sound to it but some people have shortened Zinfadel wines to Zins (that meaning is collapsed among very few wine drinker and can be pushed back against). I could easily get used to hearing "Zun Smith" or just "Zun" when being greeted. It could be a neutral verion "hun" and still derive from citizen. 174.86.237.161 10:04, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
