    I really want a gender-neutral singular pronoun but I really want it not to be 'they'https://twitter.com/MerriamWebster/status/1173982154654658561 …

        Yes! I vote for clarity, please. There has to be another way to say this.

        It took me a bit, but when someone I love needed it I came to love all that came with the adjustment.

        The great benefit - it enforces mindfulness to how gendered our language is.

        In spoken Chinese there's no he/she—it's just "ta". "Have you met ta? Ta was really great!"

        Just practice. You’ll get used to it. You can’t pick and choose your inclusive language. Singular ‘they’ is completely corrrect (how would you refer to someone who’s gender you didn’t know? You’d say ‘they’), you just aren’t used to using it.

        with all due respect, i think the only people who get to say what they want here are members of the community to whom "they" as a gender-neutral singular pronoun applies

        Disliked it at first but now I use it. There are much worse words that aren't tied up in people accepting their gender identity. Like "moist" or "yum"

        Throughout history, such neologisms—thon, ze, etc.—have not caught on widely, while the singular 'they' has persisted. Glad to see it finally in MWhttps://blog.oup.com/2010/08/gender-neutral-pronoun/ …

        Marge Piercy suggested "s/he" "per" and "pers" back in the 70s. I've used "s/he" ever since - too bad per and pers never caught on.
