'''English neutral pronouns''' are an ongoing problem in this language. This is a best known as a matter of concern not only when writing documents that need to use inclusive language. It's also of concern for any [[nonbinary]] people who prefer not to have their pronouns imply that they are female or male. As shown in surveys, many nonbinary people are okay with being called "he" or "she," but there are also many nonbinary people who don't want to be called by either of these. The surveys show that the most popular gender-neutral pronoun for nonbinary people is [[singular they]], but nearly as many prefer or accept some other neutral pronoun. See examples of this in [[Pronouns#Use for non binary people|pronouns in use for nonbinary people]]. | '''English neutral pronouns''' are an ongoing problem in this language.
