Nounself pronouns aren't valid, they're mocking the trans and especially the nonbinary community.

== History ==
Starting in late 2013<ref>{{cite journal|title=Nounself pronouns: 3rd person personal pronouns as identity expression|last=Miltersen|first= E.H.|journal=Journal of Language Works - Sprogvidenskabeligt Studentertidsskrift|url=https://tidsskrift.dk/lwo/article/view/23431|year=2016}}</ref>, a community of nonbinary gender people on the social blogging site Tumblr.com offered the idea of "nounself pronouns." (Some call these "otherkin pronouns," but few [[otherkin]] use them, and not all using them are otherkin.) Some of the earliest nounself pronouns are "fae, fae, faer, faers, faeself" derived from fae or faeries, and "bun, bun, buns, buns, bunself" derived from bunny. During 2014, the community proposed about a hundred variations of such pronouns, and many were adopted as the pronouns of particular nonbinary people, and see actual use.
As of 2016, fae pronouns are by far the most represented of any kind of the nounself pronouns, with bun pronouns coming in second, judging by the 2016 Nonbinary Stats survey.<ref name="survey">[http://nonbinarystats.tumblr.com/post/141311159050/nbgq-survey-2016-the-worldwide-results NB/GQ Survey 2016 - the worldwide results], March 2016.</ref>Many other nounself pronouns never showed up in any surveys of what pronouns nonbinary people really use.
