{{ping|MxLexicon}} It seems odd to say that 'Neopronouns are gender-neutral pronouns intended to replace the singular use of "they"' -- this is true for some (see, "thon"), but most modern usage understands that they/them is a grammatically correct gender-neutral pronoun, and some NB people want their own non-binary gender pronouns (like xe/xem). This is not a gender-neutral usage -- it's a non-binary gendered pronouns. | |||
